I woke up Wednesday morning with it. Ambulance service were great but East Slurry Hospital wernt so good. Focusing is difficult due to the eye not being able to blink and speech isnt great either so doing my job is pretty impossible at the moment as I spend all day reading/writing on the computer or on conference calls.Just trying to work out when I might be "fit" to work again. I dont mind having time off but getting very bored already.I may try driving the car tommorrow but wont be trying to ride the FZS again till I can blink properly.
That's rough for you mate,I hope you make a swift recovery, whatever you do don't tell the DVLA they won't give a flying fuck how long they keep your licence,whether they know for a fact the recovery is quick or not,my mate had a mini stroke and it was a small one,he was back to normal very quickly but told the DVLA thinking it was the right thing to do,it was nearly 2 years before they got round to re/examining him and that was after him sending countless e/mails and telling them his job was on the line.The less they know the better,don't tell them fuck all.
Anyone here had it?How long before you partially/fully recovered?
There was a train of thought many years ago that severe drafts like driving in cold weather with the window open inflamed the seventh cranial nerve or the area around it. The reason was because many truck drivers suffered from it. Take care, not sure if driving the bike is a good idea as the risk to you eye is to great (infection, dust etc). Did you get an eye patch to wear against dust?You might be as good looking as Tommys daughter when you recover
I have had it three times on the right side of my face and twice on the left, which is apparently very rare. Mine has been bought on by an allergic reaction or a cold draught.
Well, 8 weeks on and the paralysis is recovering well but the eyes are still playing up. Hopefully I will be back at work soon!
