There is an initial shock upon first glance at Connie Culp, the woman who received the nation's (first) face transplant nearly two years ago. She taps her way through the hospital waiting room, feeling (along) the floor with a cane and smiling hesitantly at a visitor, even though she can only make out shadows and shapes. Her face is wide and square-jawed. It is altogether too (large) for her diminutive frame, and therein lies the jolt of (surprise): Up close, it's clear that this face does not (belong) to that body. Her nose is long and straight. Her skin is cream-colored and (smooth). She's wearing a soft gray shirt with a rhinestone (brooch) pinned to the collar. Ever since her husband shot her in the face in 2004, Culp doesn't (concern) herself with what other people think of her appearance.
