facial paralysis

okay,
I know it �s not the place to talk about medical stuff but i �m really worried and i thought that maybe some of you could help me...

I suffer from facial paralysis: half of my face is paralysed - i look like two-face in batman... no need to say I can �t teach right now: i can hardly speak French sometimes, so speaking English and correcting my pupils would be impossible...
there �s nothing wrong with my brain, it �s just a virus, but the doctor said it might take 3 weeks to recover, or 6 months, but there �s also a 5% chance i might never recover...

I was wondering if some of you had experienced that before? if you have or a friends of yours, could you please send me a private message to tell me what happened...
i �m worried, i �m afraid i won �t be able to teach, i �m scared because i can �t do anything right now to get better, the virus has to disappear on its own...

for those who will think this message is not supposed to be on the forum, please understand me, i just need advice, from teachers who had the same thing... i �m not the kind of girl who would annoy you, but i don �t know what to do and this community has always helped me to become a better teacher that �s why i �m asking for help here...

don �t write anything on the forum, if you can/want to help me, send me a private message please...
