Welcome aboard, Kathy.  If I can do anything to help, don't hesitate to PM me.  There are lots of people on the ANA WTT (willing to talk) list.. Or, you can just post questions, concerns, or just jump in and do research yourself.  Or, you can join the fun on the PBW in the "AN Community" section (there's a LONG thread called "Good Morning").  We're glad you've decided to join!

Some facial paralysis post-op but most movement is back, some tinitus.  SSD on right.
