a TV reporter with Bell's Palsy

[DrLeftover]

After a lifetime of pretty much doing what I told it to do, one half of my face has decided to go on strike.

From the left side of my forehead to the left side of my chin, every one of my facial features is in complete, open mutiny.

I can't raise my left eyebrow. I can't close my left eye.

And when I try to smile, while the right side of my mouth still obligingly pulls itself into the requisite shape, the left side refuses to budge.

I admire him for deciding to carry on with his life. I am also hoping that he makes a full recovery.
