LOL that's something that I've been neglecting to mention. The lip work doesn't hurt, but it is a bizarre feeling to try to smile but end up looking like Dick Cheney. I can do all of the mechanical things just fine now like drinking, sucking a straw, etc, but smiling still looks weird. It's getting better though.
Remember those sandwiches we were so excited about but couldn't open our mouths wide enough to eat? We had to destroy those things just to eat them.
