Facial Nerve Symposium
« on: April 21, 2009, 07:08:14 pm »
This is happening in Rome beginning later this week. To my excitement, Dr. Brackmann is giving the keynote on Monday on geniculate hemangiomas!

(Funny what excites me these days.)

I found it interesting just browsing the schedule. Lots of exciting research going on it seems, and I'll bet some interesting publications follow from it. I will keep an eye out and post anything I find as the conference begins.

The facial nerve symposium looks very interesting.     I see also Jackie Diels also is speaking along with a person from the Netherlands on non surgical rehab.        Jackie will be at our AN symposium as  has been at all the ones I have went to.      To any newbies,she is a very well known facial therapist from Madison,WI and has good info on the  www.bellspalsy.ws  site.               Many from here have been to her including me but mine was more for tightness and some synkinesis back in 2002.    I only had a half day session.    I could stand to see her again though since my facial neuroma in 2006.

Rome!?! Oh my gosh, I would have been sooooo willing to be a test study at their conference. All they had to do was ask.

Well, plus pay travel expenses and send me on an eating and shopping spree.

A girl's gotta dream big . . .
