Welcome, Stephanie, to another Louisianan. I live in Alexandria and had my surgery in Shreveport at LSU. Do you still live in BR? or do you now live in Tulsa? Where was your surgery? I have a friend on this forum (Splenda) who lives in Madisonville, LA, whose surgery was done at LSU-NO) and she adores her ENT, who is head of the H and N dept. at LSU and now works in BR after Katrina. Maybe you two have the same doctor! I am soon going to have a consultation with him to find out about a reconstructive technique that he does that my own surgeon does not do.

Welcome to the forum. You will meet many, many people with help to give you, and you will have plenty of chances to support other people. With your sunny attitude, you will be a real addition to our "family."
