Nollywood Veteran Chidi Mokeme narrates how he coped after being diagnosed with partial facial paralysis.
In a recent interview, he talked about how he handled the horrifying experience of discovering he had Bell’s palsy, a condition that causes partial facial paralysis, when he woke up one early morning.
Chidi said; “This happened as I woke up one morning. Probably, this happened in the middle of the night. Luckily for me, I was away in the US, so I was at home.
‘‘So I woke up that morning. I tried to reach my phone. The mind wants to pick up the phone, but the body is not responding. It is a very confused state,” he said.
“I said that is not going to stop me. I am going to get up. That is what I could have told my brother if he came in. Do not let that stop you. You have to keep going. That is just a small distraction,” he emphasized.
