Hi Don,
As frustrating as it must be, the good news is that recovery happens!   That 
was my indirect experience with Bell's Palsy as a retired RN.  This  web site 
confirms my impression, when it says it is NOT a permanent condition,  that 
one can resume normal activity as soon as one feels up to it, that muscle  
atrophy (i.e., muscle wasting) usually does not occur.  Based on the  web site, my 
suggestion would be to put the mouthpiece to your lips daily and  approximate 
as best you can until you get full return.  _http://www.bellspalsy.ws/_

Well  Hell...........You just never know do you?

I am the cornet p;layer for  a nice Trad. Jazz band here.

I was told two weeks ago, in an emergency  room, that I had suffered a  small 
stroke.

After some tests, I  was told, by a neurologistm that it was Bell's  palsy

At   present, I am unable to play at all.

I have been told that, since it  seems to be a mild case,  I  will probably 
recover  completely.

I would imagine that a 95% recovery would not be  enough.

Have any of you had any experience with this?
