Title: Movement! 4-5 months post cross nerve graft process
Post by: jilljpower on November 01, 2012, 09:48:15 am

Hi All,
I have to post this exciting news.  After full paralysis for 3 years in my right cheek, I am finally showing signs that I will regain some sort of smile.  I had the 2 step cross face nerve graft procedures from Dr. Hadlock in Boston, with my last procedure in early June of this year.  I hope this helps give courage or hope to others because facial paralysis is a long hard road.
