Title: Yabadabadoo!
Post by: deheisel11 on October 24, 2010, 05:19:43 pm

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.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!  That's how it starts-with a tiny movement.  It should continue to improve from there.  Keep taking the monthly pictures so you can see the changes over time.
