Jim Ross has been dealt with some not-so-good news as the neurologist confirmed that he suffered a full blown Bell's palsy that effected the right side of his face and his vision.

Doctors are concerned about the cornea in his right eye being damaged so JR has to cover his eye and use artificial tears to help the process.

"Talk about tough and committed....wife Jan has to not only sleep with me wearing my sleep apnea mask but now I'm wearing an eye patch, to boot," joked the WWE Hall of Famer in a blog on his jrsbarbq.com website.

Ross added that his face "drooped some on the right side" although he can talk well from the left side of his mouth. An MRI is being done tomorrow to see if there was any brain damage or anything abnormal.

"My time line on returning to work is unknown as I write this," he continued, so Grisham will have to deal with Michael Cole most likely for the next few weeks during Smackdown.

Ross said that he received a lot e-mails and text messages from Vince McMahon, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, The Rock, Dusty Rhodes, Gerry Brisco, Taz, Dr. Death, JBL, Ric Flair and others who sent in their best wishes and speedy recovery.

"Let me assure you that nothing makes me happier professionally than broadcasting wrestling and being around the product. I love our business and I can assure you that you haven't seen the last of me yet," concluded Ross.
