Today is a great day. Doctor Lev took some stitches out from infront of my ears and from under my chin. He is so very nice and so very careful. As I have thin skin he sees me quite often to do various things that normally would be done later. He's keeping close tabs on me. I feel I am in the best situation possible. Today he said You look like a teenager. I laughter with happiness :)

OMG—absolutely incredible. You are totally gorgeous. You must be feeling pretty wonderful about the results! If you put your pictures from your mid-twenties next to pics you take after recovery, people will be hard pressed to know which is now & which was then!

I am feeling well but am very ready to have the last bandages removed today. We are sitting under the veranda at Casa Mercedes while Mercedes following Dr. Lev's instructions does the unveiling. Then oh joy oh bliss I get to wash and dry my hair. Happy, Happy Day!!!!

I was very ready to get the heavy, restricting helmet off. Also eyes feel more comfortable now stitches are removed. Around 3pm tomorrow I get to wash and dry my hair. I see Dr, Lev on Wedensday morning . So far so good.
