Big Sewing Mystery

Over the years, I’ve clicked on a PBS program called “Sewing With Nancy” with Nancy Zieman. I’ve noticed that her face has changed somewhat over the years, due to what I think is reconstructive plastic surgery. I don’t know what caused her problems, but I would like to know, anybody got a clue on this one?

If I remember correctly (and it’s more than possible that I don’t), it’s not pastic surgery, so to speak. I think she had a rather severe stroke. I haven’t watched the show in ages, but the last time I did, one side of her face had troubles responding, a corner of her mouth drooped and didn’t move well when she was speaking, etc.

Suzeanne’s right, she did have a stroke.

Yes, that’s the impression I got too - stroke.

Yes, she had a stroke, and has been doing quite well. I have noticed that she has improved a lot over the last 2-3 years. I have been watching her on and off for over 6 years and see no evidence that she has had any reconstuctive surgery to her face.

The lady has Bell’s Palsy–I don’t think that’s a stroke

Righto, Bell’s Palsy is different, but can essentially look the same as the effects of a stroke. It’s a paralysis that affects usually only one side of the face, and it can improve with time.
