For the rest of her life, she’ll take powerful antirejection drugs with risks of their own, becoming a lifelong subject in the study of this still experimental surgery.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #3 August 14, 2018 Fascinating. The things medical progress has accomplished are amazing. I knew of a guy somewhat local to me who had attempted suicide with a shotgun, but had flinched away at the last moment. Not as severe, but his nose and the front of both the upper and lower jaws were gone. Note - I feel a lot of sympathy for the young lady. Both of them actually. The following is not intended to be demeaning or degrading in any way. It may come across to some that way, but I'm having a hard time finding the right words. I find it... I don't know... Tragic? Ironic? "Fateful"? That her situation was the result of a suicide attempt, and the donor came to be because of a drug overdose (heroin?). Both self inflicted, but neither intended for it to end up this way. The one that lived wanted to die and the one that died most likely didn't. Again, not judging or 'looking down' on either of them. Just an observation of how life can take some strange paths."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
