I had Bell's Palsy and could function perfectly fine. Why were you off for a month, might I ask?

I know nobody wants to go this route, but have you tried EI yet? What is Bell's palsy? I honestly thought it was a spelling mistake (bell's policy), until someone else commented on it.

Can you design websites from scratch?

Bells Pallsy is the same symptoms as having a stroke minus the stroke it self. I had nerve Damage in the left side of my face. I have since moved out of the province and got a good job.

Well I'm glad you found work at least. That palsy sounds painful :(
