I'm so excited. Funny how little things will do that. I now have slight downward movement in my right upper lip. It's weak, but it's there. Same with my chin. The action of the muscles is dwarfed by the unaffected muscles on the left, but I can feel it, and it can be seen. I also think when I had my granola bar this afternoon to take my Acyclovir (food helps with the medicine's uptake), my upper right lip did move a bit up and out of the way. I didn't make that happen, but it should happen automatically when I take a bite and it hasn't been (it's a lot of work to avoid biting your limp lip, actually). So that's indicative of additional return of control.
I'm now positive this is temporary. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to follow up. They'll probably want to make sure I don't have high blood pressure or anything else that might hinder healing, but I'm pretty sure I don't. I know it was high on Sunday morning, but I thought I'd had a stroke, so that's pretty predictable.
In any case, I'm very excited and much more upbeat than I had been.
