Has anyone heard from Nancyann since her facial surgery (Nov 20/07)?
She has been on my mind and in my prayers all week. I am wondering how she is doing?
She has been such sunshine on cloudy days for many of us. Today seems extra foggy and socked in here in the Pacific Northwest - particulary without the NancyAnn sunshine posts that join us.
If anyone is in touch with her - let her know that she is missed by an AN buddy!

I too have been thinking the very same thing for the last few days. I did send her (night before surgery) a PM , but have not heard since. She's probably still doing the recovery thing, and lots to do when you return home from out of town.
Hey Nancy look forward to hearing from you.!
-
Same here! I PM her 2 days before her surgery and I have gotten no reply. I sent her a message yesterday and still nothing. She must not have returned home yet.
Good Luck Nancy, we are thinking of you!

Nancy, I ditto what everyone is saying. We miss you!!! We want to hear from you! ;D I want to hear about your beautiful smile.

Smile or no smile - we still want to hear from you regardless of the outcome from surgery.
Success or no success with the facial surgery- we still want to know how you are doing... and to let you know that we care.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to tell you all that I had the same surgery and the same doctor did my face too. I have not heard from her either. From what she has told me, she has had no nerve recovery yet. She knew that the things she is having done won't help her smile. She was expecting a more symetrical looking face. Everything has dropped on the AN side and she is having all that fixed.
She was so excited about all of this and I wish her well. Hopefully, she will post soon and let us in on how great she looks!!!

Hopefully we will hear soon. She did not expect to be home until Dec. 1. I miss her posts and
that really big smile from within that is always there.

Boy we must all be on the same wave length.... I have been thinking a lot about Nancy the last couple of days too. Once again we all are there with one of our AN family members (in thoughts and prayers)... it's just darn hard to wait to find out how things went. We love and miss you Nancy !

Hi guys - I just posted a new subject & just now saw this post - YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!! I'm doing great, sooo glad I had this done, even though immediately post op I told my mom I want to die (the pain, vomiting, you all know the routine).
Oh, & I forgot to write on the new subj. Post Temporalis, WHEN I BITE DOWN MY RIGHT CHEEK MOVES !!!! It's not in the smile position yet, but in a few months it will be - so the temporalis transfer took !!! YEAHHHH FOR ME !!!!! (It hurts when I do it now so I have to wait awhile, but I was soooo happy to see the little movement in my ckeek !!!). Thank God for this surgery, & thank you all for your support !!!!!!!!
Always good thoughts, Nancy

Thanks again everyone for all your support. Ron - I was so glad to read your trigeminal nerve has gone into hibernating - I hope it stays there!! (I'll never forget the way my neurologist cringed in pain by my just mentioning trigeminal neuralgia...). Always good thoughts everyone, Nancy

So glad you're back NancyAnn...we missed you. I'm looking forward to new posts on how well you are doing. Isn't it amazing how every little twitch, and movement is so exciting? Other people just wouldn't understand. I look for any movement with Chris. I can't wait to read all your followups. :)
