Hi, Jim!

Thanks for keeping us posted. We're all pulling for you. I'm glad that you have found some acceptance around the disappointing outcome. I just hope that you're not in agonizing pain any more. Did that get better? I am glad that something can be planned to help with your lower lip droop. That's got to be annoying, but you do have a good sense of humour about it!

Keep on fighting and winning!
xoxo,
Kerri
