OK, so every time I see photos of myself, all I can zoom in on is my face. More accurately, my "jowls", my neck (make that "necks"), my lack of cheekbones.
After literally years of deliberation, I've finally decided to do something about it. My hubby, though insisting he sees nothing wrong with me, has been very supportive. I've read all the reviews of the doctor I've chosen. I've searched and researched, crunched numbers, made lists, asked questions and have finally come to this. So, in a couple days, I'm doing it. My birthday gift to myself! I'm alternating between stress and excitement, total elation and absolute terror.
More to come!

Told a few folks
JobosSeptember 17, 2014
I told a couple of my coworkers/friends the real reason I'll be out of work for a while. It felt a little embarrassing at first but I'm also relieved that I'm not so alone in this. I know, when I go back to work, I'll still have swelling and bruising but these friends have promised to help run interference with any questions or comments from other folks. As scared as I am, I'm looking forward to this.

Good Luck! I will be 60 in a few months and want to have mine done by then, we deserve it!

We all deserve it, good luck in your adventure and keep us posted. Aren't jowels just the most horrid thing? I can tolerate most of the ravages of time BUT jowels ... not.

Thank you to all of you who've commented. It's nice to hear from others who've gone through the same things and felt the same feelings whether it's excitement or fear or a bit of both!

Counting the hours....

Just got off the phone with the surgical center. Everyone I've talked to there has been so nice. The nurse at my doctor's office had told me they would be.
So I'm set for 8:00 tomorrow morning. In my panic, I've pretty much forgotten everything I need to do including how to get to the surgical center. Hopefully, hubby will be more calm.
Today, at work, they celebrated my birthday (which is actually tomorrow - yikes) with cake and gifts. Yes, I got a couple bottles of wine. No, they don't know I'm not allowed to drink it for at least another week. But it's OK. A few asked me that old stand-by question - what am I doing for my birthday. I faked my way through an answer. ;-) "Oh, nothing special...."
