Post by: pattibobatti 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.

Any more twitching in your cheek Joef???

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)
