Here is a post where I wrote about it back in 2013

At the moment I need to be in denial.

This is hopefully not happening to you for long - get better - get well.
PLEASE keep us informed.
Big hug - and huge thanks for hanging with us through your infirmity. Because I count on that you will.
We will be by your side.

I had a room mate years ago that had the same thing happen and was paralyzed on his right side for six months. Three years later he was pitching in the town rec softball league. Best wishes on a speedy recovery!
