Free Gracilis Muscle Transfer Surgery June 10
« on: May 19, 2013, 09:24:22 am »
My surgery date is June 10. I don't post much, but I have been inspired by people who do post- especially Moe and Jill. After 6 years of facial paralysis post Gamma Knife, I am having the gracilis surgery in Boston. What a journey this has been...... Prayer is powerful and for this to work out is a definite answer to many prayers. For all of  the prayer warriors out there, please keep them coming!
I will update as soon as I can after my surgery.

Cheryl,
Dr. Hadlock is doing my surgery. I have had several consults with her and she performed a minor office procedure in 2011.
