Some news about our friend Chris Barcellos
 

Chris recently became afflicted with Bells palsy. It is a condition caused by some nerve blockage and results in half of your face not working correctly. It is not really very well understood, but the good news is that with time the recovery rate is quite high.

Chris, sport that he is, made a video of it and it is on Youtube at:

Spoiled my fun, I was going to post in the "trials and tribullations" page

Ah, I see I am late with my post.... anyway... I am sure some may find it here. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Wishing you a fast and full recovery Chris. Very classy of you to share that with us.

Thanks Paul... and you are welcome.

A challenge that's meant to be overcome. Best wishes, Chris.

Chris,

That happened to me last December. A little disconcerting as you think it might be a stroke, but I recovered completely in about 2 months. Really just a minor inconvenience, but way less serious than Gillian Barre'. That crap kicked my butt twenty years ago, and it took more than a year to fully recover.

Glad you can see the humor in losing control of part of your face. Keep smiling!

Hey Chris - here's hoping for a speedy recovery!

Dick, I am running across a lot of people who have had similar issues. Still concerned about a wide range of potential outcomes, but no use dwelling on it.


Thanks to all for your kind wishes.

Hey Chris,

Either I'm getting to know more people or this is getting to be more common. Scary stuff, regardless. Everyone I know who has dealt with it has fully recovered, so I hope that for you, too.

Chris, my best wishes for a quick and easy recovery.

Paul

All the best Chris for a healthy recovery.

Regards
Simon

Thank you Lorinda, Paul and Simon !!

Chris, Wishing you the best and hope for a very speedy recovery

Sorry to hear about this, Chris, but glad to hear you're expected to come out of it. Hope it doesn't take too long! And I hope I didn't jinx it by saying that.
