Latest Adventure of Humpty Dympty - Brow Lift
« on: August 06, 2011, 10:07:23 am »
Had a brow lift yesterday on my AN side to even out things.  It took about 20 minutes and it was done in the doctor's office.  I was expecting a black eye, but none so far.  It was my last voluntary surgery and it was a breeze.

Good for you!!  Glad it was so easy.  Ever since a nasty fall four years ago, I have had a sagging brow on one side.  You've given me the courage that there is hope for correction when it becomes necessary.

Susan ~

Congratulations on your successful (and final) voluntary surgery!

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
