Glad you are OK, nothing to worry about ,pretty common and  very treatable , see you in the morning , In Savannah today for Vacation, Starke anf KOI tomorrow

I got that one morning...no previous symptoms. Two of my schoolmates had just died from sudden strokes...and I was at the 'magic age'.

Called young wife at her work (her youth won't let her retire for 14 more years!) She had me do the arms-out-in-front test, etc. All the 'over-the-phone' tests.

Went to the Dr's office, by now I couldn't wink nor smile...left side. She said Bell's palsy. Took me 3 months to kick it, (she said 6 weeks tops, but she's a young thing, and cannot leave her...Whoops!)
That's another thing: now my mind wanders.

Get well soon. Just exercise your facial muscles much as possible. (I smiled a lot and resumed playing my Alto sax.)
That was early last year, and my left eye still feels a little swollen...but it's just the nerve endings. I still look fabulous! My wife fibs to me...

[Bill Little]

Glad to hear you're home and that it wasn't a stroke.

My thoughts and prayers for a rapid, complete, recovery.

A last minute problem has arisen here and I won't get to see you at KOI.........

Tom, here's to a speedy recovery!!! I bet you are just giving everyone else a chance!

Get well soon.  I have friends that have had it.  One was over it in just a couple of months.   Then one was afflicted for several years.   Just don't worry too much about it.

[Bill Heher]

Glad they let you out, a day @KOI not flying is light years ahead of staying in a building full of sick people and
Letting Dr.s "practice" on you. Hang out, root for the kid and enjoy the contest for a change- instead of running all over like a 1 man band!ayers are
 Wish I could be there, but just got back on the road after a nice vacation. Phoenix is a close 2nd too FL in Jan/ Feb. hope to gret a few flights in this weekend.


Speedy recovery Tom- our prayers our with you

Thanks guys I seem to be getting a little better every day I can close my left eye today for the first time in A week. So glad I did not miss The King Orange It was the smoothest contest I think we have ever run It was great to see TJ pull off third place in advanced after Pit Bossing all weekend
Thanks Tom Weedman

[john e. holliday]

Glad to hear you are getting better.    Seen where the young lad did good in the reports.   Now don't push yourself too hard.

Tom,
Glad to learn things are progressing, positively!
Bob W. said you might be working in this area this week, understand now why you are not here.
No problem the Italian restaurant he mentioned will be here when you are ready for a great meal!
Take care,
