My goal is to help educate others about the process of TMJ injury, surgery and recovery. I am a singer, and a blow to my face has had me out of commission for months. I am awaiting surgery now. I would love to help others if I can. I know other people's blogs have been of great comfort to me.

This is my 30th post! I am OFFICIALLY a dork.Well, I went to a yoga class yesterday. A "gentle" yoga class, mind you. And I am SO beat. 70 year old men were running peaceful, serene circles around me. I'm just ... not very strong. Maybe I'll get back...
