Some left lip control returns!





This photo shows me making duck faces at speech pathologist, Kylie Perkin's practice today. It might look rediculous, but after a bit of this work, I actually managed to move the left corner of my mouth for the first time since the surgery this morning.

















A key element of the work Kylie is doing with me is for me to observe what my face is doing in a mirror while I try to control the various facial muscles.
