My doc said, "You experienced the wonderful toxicity of alcohol."

Vonda,
I experienced this most of Christmas break with just a few beers.  What a relief to read the response from your doctor.  BTW, I can not believe how great you look!!!!

Those pictures are great, the surgery was very successful as far as those pictures tell.  Glad there are optios out there for the facial nerve.  And your kids are beautiful, looks like a warm and wonderful vacation. Happy New Year.

Wow - great pictures - thanks so much for posting.  Your surgeons did an amazing job.  I am sure that you notice every thing that is different (I know I do), but it is amazing how little others notice, isn't it? 

Thanks again for posting pictures.

Hi Vonda,
I think you look totally awesome!  I am hoping/planning to have a nerve transplant, using the sural nerve, soon.  I can only hope that mine turns out as well as yours has.  Congratulations on your successful outcome and your beautiful family.  (ps.  I'm tired of running from the cameras!- I hate it)
