Wrinkles and gum !

[Gloria Nailor]

It's been 4 years since my surgery and 2 years since my gamma knife treatment. My face was completely paralyzed, my smile returned overnight at a year post-op.  4 years later I have regained about 70% use of the right side of my face. I am even starting to see wrinkles in my forehead, who thought I'd ever be happy to see wrinkles ! I can chew gum now too and eat a little with the right side of my mouth! So, don't give up hope, it was a VERY slow process for my facial nerve to regenerate. I prayed that I could accept the outcomes of my ordeal and I finally have.  I suffered with deep depression for three years after my diagnosis. Hang in there and try to enjoy each day

Gloria,
Thank you for sharing.  Wonderful to hear you are still improving.  Good for people to know improvement can continue over years, not just months.  Congratulations to you on your success, and I wish you continued improvement.  Please keep us posted.  God Bless.
