About a month or so after Max's Cyber Knife he developed a facial twitch on the right side of his face. At first it included his right eye lid, right cheek, right side of his upper lip, his ear and a muscle that went across the side of his face. (His neurologist thought it was probably a muscle spasm vs. focal seizure because it was less active when he was asleep than awake.)
Eventually all I saw twitching was one muscle across his face which was tied to his hear and ran all the way to one row of his whiskers. He just had a very slight twitch where I could see 1 black whisker twitch rhythmically.
Today I was watching him sleep and was just checking on that whisker to see how much twitching was going on and there was absolutely NONE! I can't even see that muscle in his face twitching or his ear!
I'm not sure what any of this means but I'd be a happy camper if I had a consistent twitch for months and it finally went away!
