Wow! I can't believe the kinks seem to be worked out with the posting problems I was having! I have been so impressed with the members on this site- your warmth, sincerity, and support you give one another.

Two weeks following my implantation, I went to the emergency room with severe swelling of my neck and face. After determining that there was nothing...
