My husband had Ramsey Hunt Syndrome (Shingles of nerves of ear and face) which left him with left sided facial paralysis for months. He also is on the road to recovery.
Hope you are well real soon.
Colonel -
The ex-wife had a few years ago. I checked with the daughter this evening and she said the acute phase was about a month, but the recovery took about another three months or so. She said her mother still has some slight facial "droop" from the Bell's. The daughter strongly recommended adhesive eye patches to keep the eye closed while you sleep.
My best wishes to you on getting through this, and hope you achieve a full recovery.
Thank goodness. Best of health.
