I am so sorry to hear of your experience and the results of the surgery. I had facial reconstruction surgery two months ago after a Mohs cancer surgery which was much wider and deeper than anticipated and should have been performed years ago.

The Mohs surgeon removed a portion of my face the diameter of a tennis ball, including part of one nostril, part of my upper lip, and a large part of the cheek. Fortunately, I was then transferred to a facial reconstruction surgeon at UCSF who did an amazing reconstruction job and everything works as it should now and my appearance is practically unchanged. I was feeling sorry for myself because I have numbness which is probably permanent as nerves were cut during the Mohs sugery but I see now it could have been so much worse.

If you are anywhere near the Bay Area, California, you might want to check with the UCSF Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. They are world-class at facial reconstruction and may be able to help you. If you think this is feasible, PM me and I can send you contact information.

All the best, hang in there, it may be possible to repair at least some of the damage that has been done.

After Reagan I believe. He was shot on a public sidewalk. Now you can't even get close to a President unless you're pre-screened.

And this is why backup cameras will be mandatory on new cars in the U.S. as of 2018. Definitely worth it.

A lot of these beach towns are overbuilt and don't have any sewage systems in place so it's all septic tanks and the seepage flows into the ocean. You're basically swimming in poop water.
