Former Manchester City captain Andy Morrison has given an encouraging update on his health following his battle with devastating neurological condition Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
Morrison, 56, revealed in a heartbreaking video online earlier this year that he was battling the condition as he vowed to fight the disorder. In May, he appeared in good spirits as he explained his symptoms and detailed how his recovery was going to take 'a long, long time'. The 55-year-old was diagnosed with the devastating neurological condition earlier this year.
Now, however, in a new video, Morrison appeared to be much further down his road to recovery as he revealed he has returned to commentary work.
The condition is caused by a virus in the facial nerve and can lead to face paralysis, blistering rashes near the ear, severe earache and hearing loss. But it appears that the former City man is firmly on the mend, having issued an update to supporters on social media following a return to the commentary booth. He said: “Evening everyone. “I still have to take juice to swallow and I have no taste in the side of my mouth and the whole side of the face is numb, so I have to drink through a straw still. He wasn't sure just how much that would progress because it's still really weak. But if sucking through a straw is worst case scenario then so be it. I won't be posting now because I won't see a specialist for another three months.
