Rock ‘n’ Roll Express Ricky Morton has announced that he has been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy.
He revealed the positive diagnosis on his podcast, “School of Morton.”
“Last Tuesday, I woke up, getting ready to go to the gym. I went downstairs and had a cup of coffee. I noticed the coffee [had] run out of my mouth. It really scared me. I ran to the bathroom and [saw] that my face looked disfigured. I thought that I might, MIGHT, be having a stroke. I went to the hospital and they told me it was brought on by stress, but I have a touch of Bell’s Palsy. It looks like it’s starting to clear up a bit. I can shut my eyes and start talking. I wanted to tell the wrestling world out there; if you see me, don’t run off. I’m doing good. [Physically], I’m doing great.”
As Morton stated, it’s considered a “touch” of Bell’s Palsy and it seems to be clearing up.
