Bell's Palsy Players?

After a 30 year hiatus from playing the clarinet, I am now the proud owner of a student quality clarinet! (It's my first owned clarinet, so it's particularly special, LOL). There's one fly in the serum, though. I've had Bell's Palsy for the past 15 years and it's made playing the clarinet... challenging... to say the least. I knew it was going to be a problem playing. I didn't realize how MUCH of a problem :( I have to hold the instrument at an odd angle and it squeaks horribly. But I can blow and make (kinda) music!

I was wondering if there were any other wood instrument players out there who've got Bell's Palsy and still manage to perform? I'm doing research into getting a denture prosthetic that will help me play again.

Beware of Killer Cockatiels!
