How long before you partially/fully recovered?
My daughter spent 5 months in South Africa working with orphaned children in a charity run centre,she made a friend of another English girl whilst out there and they flew back to the UK on the same flight. During that flight one side of my daughters face drooped/sagged, almost fell downwards, her friend thought she was somehow messing about (She is a wind up merchant) but when her face sagged so much that she thought my daughters eye could fall out she screamed and cabin crew came a dealt with her fortunately there was someone on board with medical knowledge of the condition, after about 2 hours my daughter slowly started to look a bit better.
Thankfully no long term damage was done, no one knows what caused it and doctors have said it is unlikely to happen again. Seems like complete loss of muscle control.
Here is pic of daughter now aged 22 stood between me and mum, pic taken 3 years after Bells Palsey incident.
Daughter took about 3 or 4 days to completely recover, apparently she was fortunate as it can take up to a year in bad cases, some sadly never really recover but I believe that is quite rare.
Wish you a speedy recovery BB
