Hey Michelle-

I'm getting here a little late but wanted to say "wow!"  The progress is great!  As someone who is only a few months ahead of you on the recovery road, I know how frustratingly slow the facial progress is - many kudos to you for your wonderful spirit and your willingness to share pictures! 

Keep doing all those exercises (I need to remind myself to keep at this, too) and continue being patient and positive.  You are really looking so good, Michelle!!

Debbi, smiling (sorta) at you from NJ

Thanks everyone.
I am happy my face is heading in the right direction. I was told that I would not get 100% movement back. I am not sure how much movement will return but I am hopeful that I will get more.
I think returning to work and living my life has made a huge difference.
My husband and I were talking about how nice it is that we support each other on this site. Thanks for your kind words and encouragment.
Hugs Michelle  ;D
