« on: September 08, 2006, 01:05:30 pm »
Just about 10 minutes ago I was lookiing in the mirror and tried to smile....

THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am writing this but I can't believe it!

I'm almost 9 months post surgery and just had an emg done.  It came back at 0% function.   

Think I'm gonna have a good day!!

Dear Miss Bobatti:

How cool is that?  I think I will celebrate and eat some ice cream!!!  You and Joef got yer cheeks a movin in the same week!! Are you getting the twitchies yet?  I am mighty anxious to hear what your neuro had to say.  I am so very happy for you.

Here's hoping that your faces keep you awake at night!!

actually the twitching and tightness has slowed down and relaxed .. but I can still move (a very little) the corner of my mouth!!!
I personally think the twitching is the nerves coming back to life .. and once they are, the twitching stops ...

I hoping for my bottom lip now... its still not moving, and causing the biggest problem ..(eating,drinking..etc)
