It's the parotid gland, mrlynn.
Today's visit to UCI included seeing an internist as part of clearing me for surgery. He explained something about the risk level. Working against me is my age and the fact that I have multiple health issues.
One concern I have is the possibility of damaging nerves that affect the face, of which the are many in this area. Was this an issue with your surgery?
I hate to say this, I just don't feel well right now and I'm afraid that this will negatively affect the outcome.
Oh well, I've been depressed lately and some nights I would wish that I just wouldn't wake up. This operation might grant that wish
