Karen,

You describe the exact pain that Clark has. It is encouraging that it has resolved. That gives him something to look forward to knowing that there could be an end to this discomfort. But even if it doesn't, he is so happy with the results of the surgery that he is willing to work around it.

Christine,

Anything is possible. I hope that you will be able to have the reconstruction surgery you want. How are things with the opening? You mentioned collagen filler as part of your treatment in another thread. Is that helping to heal that area? Hang in there.
