Charm, that was actually a very charming post smile THANKS!!!!!

Malka, thank you for reminding me you are a three time winner. Its very reassuring knowing others who have gotten thru this 3 times.

I greatly appreciate all the kindness and support I have been given by so many OCF members. It helps me so much knowing I have so many people in my corner. I have learned a great deal from each and every one of my fellow OC survivors.

Tomorrow is the consult with my ENT about the CT scan results. I have a list of about 20 questions to ask him. Poor guy, just wait til I see him after the plastic surgeon's consult. Then he will really get bombarded with questions. Hes a great doctor and I have all the faith in the world that he will do the best he can for me.

OCF really does deserve the great non-profit award. Its the best place for help. I know I probably would have given up a long time ago if I hadnt had OCF.

My son has just joined OCF so that he can keep everyone informed. He is TravisB
