Thanks for the replies, they hit home as usual.

Joanna, I'd love to see this pic that Helen is talking about! I hope to have a pic of myself in the same excitement soon. Helen, dang, not a switch I am going to take you up on BUT I will be thinking of you. When are you having it done?
Jerry, my biggest questions are if my face is going to swell up and if there will be any bruising? It's a busy time of year so I'm hoping it won't keep me down long.
Love,
Minnie
