Unique Smiles: The Facial Paralysis Podcast

In Episode 10 we talk to Jane Mateik about getting facial paralysis as a result of surgery to remove a tumor the size of a peach. We discuss the lack of a diagnosis from her doctors, her 10-hour brain surgery, her facial reconstruction surgeries, and the emotional challenges that stem from facial paralysis. We also discuss the importance of mourning the loss of your previous self, finding a support group and having a good sense of humor.   Don't forget to subscribe here or on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unique-smiles-podcast/id1352822884   If you have any questions/comments about the podcast please comment below or contact us at:  CONNECT WITH US! https://www.facebook.com/Unique-Smiles-Podcast-168413050468091/ https://twitter.com/UniqueSmilesPod Email: UniqueSmilesPodcast@gmail.com   A big THANK YOU to our sponsors: http://facialparalysisfoundation.org/  and    https://www.risephysicaltherapy.com/   Also, a big THANK YOU to Wes Hutchinson for allowing the use of his beautiful son
