Title: Slowly but surely
Post by: stoneaxe on October 28, 2009, 08:17:34 am

My face has slowly been recovering tone for awhile now but I still had no movement. Now I just noticed in the Apple Dumpling Gang picture that it looked like my smile was more symetrical....I just went to the mirror and was very surprised to see my lip and cheek move....  :) :D ;D :o. It feels weak but I'm very pleased.

Congratulations, Bob!  Your smile looked pretty symmetrical to me - and I was only a few feet away from you during the brunch.  Things can only get better!  :)

Slow and steady wins the race.  Patience is generally one of the keys in AN recovery post op.

You're doing well.

Chin up, Bob   ;D
