But fear not, dear conservatives, because Senator Britt is in good spirits and on the road to recovery. The cause of her facial numbness was determined to be a post-viral infection that led to a swollen facial nerve. Now, that’s a diagnosis that could make anyone grimace.
Fortunately for Britt, her condition is non-lethal and is expected to clear up within several weeks. Phew! It seems she won’t be adding a stint in the hospital to her already packed schedule on Capitol Hill. Our conservative prayers go out to her for a speedy recovery so she can get back to doing what she does best: fighting for conservative values.
This health scare happened while Senator Britt was spending time with her family in Montgomery. Next thing she knew, she was being admitted to Baptist Medical Center South. Doctors quickly identified the culprit behind her discomfort—a swollen facial nerve. It’s moments like these that make one grateful for healthcare professionals who can diagnose even the most politically inconvenient problems.
While facial numbness can be a sign of serious conditions like stroke, it can also be associated with something called Bell’s palsy. Now, I don’t know about you, but I find it fitting that a politician would have a condition that involves facial paralysis. Maybe it’s a metaphor for their inability to say anything of substance? One can only speculate.
Senator Britt will be recuperating at home during her recovery, and it might take a few weeks for her to regain her full strength—both in her face and on the Senate floor. In the meantime, let’s keep her in our conservative thoughts and prayers. We need strong conservative voices in the Senate now more than ever, especially with the upcoming debates over federal spending and the potential government shutdown looming.
It’s worth mentioning that Senator Britt’s victory in the November election was no small feat. Not only did she fend off Republican Mo Brooks, who experienced a rollercoaster ride of support from former President Donald Trump, but she also replaced her former boss, Richard Shelby. Talk about stepping out and making a conservative statement, loud and clear.
Alabama is lucky to have a hardworking senator like Katie Britt representing their conservative values. And even though her face may have temporarily gone numb, her determination to serve the American people remains unwavering. So let’s rally behind her, folks, and show our support as she recovers and gets back to shaking up the Senate with her conservative principles.
