It has been awhile since my last posting… for this I am sorry.

I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy on August 1 and have not blogged at all or Facebooked or Twittered  while recuperating. But now that I am back to 100%, the words, I am hoping, will start flowing again.

I have much to say about this Bell’s experience. Not only from a patients point of view, but also from someone who has had it, gotten fantastic advise from friends, and have moved past it to a place of learning. For this I am very grateful. Because of this appreciation, I want to share what I have learned and experienced with others, as it was shared with me, to hopefully make the illness less scary for someone who might be afflicted with it.

So I will be posting little bits and pieces in the next week, documenting the 2 weeks of the toughest part of this illness and the process I had in my recovery.

The 1 thing I must say now, is thank you… Thank you to my best friend and partner John, for all the caring and nuturing he has given me through this, at a time when his plate was so very full. Thank you to my Mom & Marty, my Dad and Shari, my sister Tina & Steve and my niece and nephews, John’s family and all my caring and wonderful extended family and friends who all have been so thoughtfull with well wishes and prayers… I shall name you all in the postings to come! Your love has made all the difference in the world. I love you all….
