Well it's good to know I'm not experiencing anything new. My muscle spasms at the base of my skull continue periodically, and I've kind of convinced myself that they're due in part to the atrophy of the neck muscles that occurred after surgery. Though I'm now 13 months post surgery, I'm just now regaining the muscle mass that I lost. I still have a slight droop to the right shoulder, but it's improving with exercise. Bottom line- I'm doing great. I'm over a year cancer-free, and I'm adjusting pretty well to the new normal. As far as the stuff I'm not adjusting to.. well I'm still here to bitch about it smile smile
Thanks everyone for your inputs. The support here has been nothing short of fantastic.

Good Health
