As you can see, I am a newbie, but I am a fanatic on the Forum. I was getting ready today for a local ANA support group meeting. I thought I should brush my teeth before I left. I thought I saw something move on my face when I tried to brush my teeth. (level 6 since my surgery in May, 2010). I took my toothbrush out of my mouth and tried to see whatever I saw, again. I could make my cheek and my lip move, my cheek more than my mouth!! I have to concentrate on the area but they both move. My wife and I checked my picture from a month ago and the difference is very evident. I thought I would share this because the ANA Forum has been a life-send for me during the past 5 months. I thought that others might find some hope in my e-mail. I cannot stop looking at myself in the mirror, even for a small improvement. Thanks to everyone, especially the "veterans" on the web-site. I have kept a positive state of mind because of all of you and it looks like it might pay off. I am trying to keep my enthusiasm in check since anything can change.
