what would you want back ?

[Captain Deb]

There are times where I would swap some facial paralysis or eye problems for the headache issues I've had for the past 6 years.  I can't exercise without giving myself a whopping headache or roughhouse with my grandkids either. The meds I have to take for the headaches make me feel dumb as a box of rocks and leave me unable to think clearly enough to paint more than a few strokes a day.  They have also given me osteoporosis which I have to take more meds for. Yuck. Give me a crooked smile anyday.

Deb~
I would GLADLY keep my crooked smile to continue to keep the headaches away!  I had some whoppers before surgery, but I doubt they pale in comparison to what you have - I pray all the time for you and in thanks that I only have all that I do!!

if i smiled as greatly as Lori ....................wow id want that back too............

in my case my rt side of face, my an side, to go back up. it is really the only residual "problem" i have as it affects my dentures too...............

But those are still MINOR for me cause its gone , wasnt cancerous, and hasnt come back ...........Big things there......other things little by comparison

Aw, thanks!  I think I'm blushing!   

You're right though - sometimes we need to remind ourselves that the "minor" inconveniences we are left with after treatment are definitely small in comparison to the actual AN.  Sometimes I need a little kick in the butt to remember that!
