Raise Your Left Eyebrow

This morning, after nearly a week and a half with no muscle movement on my face, I thought I saw a tiny flicker of life while brushing my teeth. Moving closer to the mirror I saw that my left eyebrow had in fact lifted an eighth of an inch. This was it!  First an eyebrow raise, next the ability to furrow my forehead and use my lips, and from there full recovery in no time!

For now, though, it is enough to know that I have increased my range of facial expressions twofold.  This new one with the single raised eyebrow I shall call happiness.
