Jim Ross suffers a 3rd Bells Pa;sy attack

[Soulpower]

Not sure if its been posted...

Jim Ross posted the following on his blog today:

It was an interesting plane ride from OKC to Columbia, South Carolina Monday night. On my flight from OKC to Atlanta I had my 3rd Bells palsy attack.

I was able to reach WWE doctors who were in Jacksonville for Raw and they were able to call in the medicines I needed to get started on to slow down the paralysis. Now we just wait and see how the meds work and Mother Nature takes her course.

My plans are to tape SD tonite working with the King and perhaps even Michael Cole so we can make sure we can do the job that the product and the talents deserve.



- Ross has since updated his site, stating that he will not call Smackdown as planned…

This is an update on my previous blog. Not the news I wanted to share.

It has been decided that I should not risk further issues by working tonight and I am in the process of arranging a flight back to OKC so I can see a neurologist on Wednesday.

Life is about facing the challenges we encounter so I am going to do all I can to get better and back at the announce desk asap. I wish I had more answers but I simply don't at this time.

I want to be a part of Bragging Rights but only time will tell if that will be physically possible. My passion and love for the game is in tact but I have to do what's best for my long term health.

WWE has been tremendously supportive of my situatiion of which I am very grateful.

Never count me out of the game as this isn't the first mountain that I have had to climb. Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole will handle SD from Columbia. My thanks to every one for understanding this matter. Better days are on the horizon.

Edit:Thread title should be Bells Palsy, not Bells Pa;sy :shifty:

Is it wrong that the only thing I can think of is that episode of family guy where Peter ate all those hamburgers which gave him a stroke and he's driving down the road singing It's the end of the world as we know it by REM?

Bells Palsey is a bitch. I've had it before. Thankfully it's only temporary.

I did wonder why Cole was tainting my Friday night SD experience this past week.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did that on his 1st night back.

It's a nerve infection that causes paralysis in the face. The infection usually spreads from another, easier to get infection (usually sinus or ear infection).
