Denise,

My mom has the same scar and the doctor told her she may loose movement and not be able to smile. She looks different and people look at her differently now but it sure beats the alternative. She was a little worried about what people think but she got over it. She has her life and she's going to see my little brother graduate from High School this year and my daughter her granddaughter start kindergarten this year. These are things she prayed she would be able to do and although she is slightly disfigured she is still my wonderful beautiful mom. Hang in there. It's a rough road my mom felt the same way about how she looks. She turned 60 this year she has really looked past the superficial surface stuff and lives her life to the fullest.

Take care,
Dani
