not a stroke. i found this..
Andreas Cahling at 57 - No stroke.
I read on the internet that I had a stroke in the past. This is false. I never had a stroke.
I did have a very unusual tumor removed from a facial nerve about 10 years ago. It grew real close to my brain so I opted for surgical removal. This is one reason why my face looks as it does today. I have never suffered physically before or after the surgery.
For many years I was misdiagnosed as having a facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy)
Very grateful and happy just to be alive and feeling great. Facing my face does not face me!
