Buck Belue - Update

Thanks to LTDx for sending this out-

National Champion QB Buck Belue has been missing from his normal radio gig, Buck and Kinkade recently. Where has he been? He addressed the issue on his blog recently:

"There is some misinformation out there that I want to clear up. I have been out of work because of a case of Bell's Palsy. It is a nerve disorder that happens suddenly and without warning. The condition occurs when a nerve that controls facial movement is damaged. Probably caused by an upper respiratory I had prior to Christmas.

I've been unable to completely close my left eye. My left cheek has experienced some numbness. And the left side of my upper lip is droopy. I continue to talk with a little slurred speech. So, obviously doing a 4 hour talk radio show presents some problems right now. The specialist---Mark Harris--- tells me it will clean up---with the use of meds---in 2-3 weeks to several months. Just got back from the physical therapist---Julie Epstein at Emory Johns Creek Hospital---where I had some electronic stimulation and got some at-home facial exercises. And hoping for a quick recovery. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers."

Our thoughts are with you, Buck. Get well soon.

Just to get you through, here's one of the the greatest plays of all time, co-staring Buck himself.
