Having a new face!

The Frenchwoman, Isabelle Dinoire, who received the world's first partial face transplant showed off her new features to the public yesterday in France city of Amiens.
Isabelle Dinoire, 38-year-old and mother of two. On May 27, she awoke to discover her horrible disfigurement after her black Labrador chewed off the lower part of her face while she was unconscious from taking sleeping pills.
"When I woke up, I tried to light a cigarette and didn't understand why it wouldn't stay between my lips," she said, her face slack and emotionless. "That's when I saw the pool of blood and the dog beside it."
Ms. Dinoire's doctors said it would be months before they would know how much motor control she would develop in the transplanted part of her face. But Ms. Dinoire said that "being able to show emotions through my face" was already the best thing about her transplant and that she hoped to eventually be able to smile and grimace.
She thanked the family of the donor and
apologized for the media scrutiny that the family had endured as a result of the transplant. The 46-year-old woman whose face Ms. Dinoire received reportedly committed suicide in Lille, not far from Amiens."Despite their pain, their mourning, they agreed to give a second life to people in distress," Ms. Dinoire said. "Thanks to them, a door to the future is open to me and to others".
"There's no comparison between the face I have today and the face I had seven months ago, it is totally different," she said.
Becareful of dogs plzzzzz! :(
She had a new face, which is better than nothing. But it will never be as it was: as God created it!
How God is merciful!!!
