The SMILE Program provides cosmetic reconstructive services to those disfigured as a result of domestic violence. Across the country, highly trained experts volunteer their services, based on referral by domestic violence advocates. My advocate, Emily Elting, continues to be an absolute angel to me. When I was medically stable enough to leave Washington State, I was still pretty scarry to look at. The SMILE Program Emily referred me to is without boundaries. I came home to California, prepared to drive wherever necessary for the cosmetic reconstruction. "There are so many doctors volunteering in Southern California," I was told, so I thought ok, I'll see if there are any in my area code...310. The law of attraction delivered nationally reknown Dr. Andrew Frankel, from the Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills. Over the past three years, Dr. Frankel's amazing and skillful work restored my smile. Today, I was in his office for a follow-up visit. After multiple rounds of skin grafting, including harvested tissue from a most intimate donor site, I can drink without a straw and keep food in my mouth while eating. Dr. Frankel recommended me to Elizabeth Hanratty who is enfusing color into the grafted tissue so my lips appear more natural. She has completed 2 of the 3 procedures. After her final enfusion, Dr. Frankel will inject fillers to my lips and the surrounding areas that were once stitched together.
The Survivor On A Mission website should be up shortly with my downloadable poetry collection. Following the interview with Cassie Parks on the Law of Attraction radio network, Cassie allowed me to fill out the time block reading my copyrighted poetry collection. About 2/3 through is a poem entitled "JUST SMILE". The pure gratitude I felt towards Dr. Frankel, and all my many doctors, attracted consistent outstanding skill demonstrated in my radiant new smile.
