Hope it’s something simple like Bell’s Palsy rather than stroke. Both my wife and I have had bouts. The first time it happened we were really shook up. Left side of my face was paralized and numb it had slumped. We both thought it was a stroke, but the doctors said it wasn’t just Bell’s which is caused by an infection of a nerve by Herpes Simplex 1 (the one you got as a child). I don’t know how you tell the difference on exam but the doctors readily could tell. It took a while to go away along with some anti virals and something to reduce the swelling of the infected nerve (steriod). My wife’s face dropped on her right side far more than mine did.

Prayers for your speedy recovery
