from Mrs. GPster--GPster's medical progress

[GPster]

GPster had some facial reconstructive surgery on Thursday.  He's doing pretty well.  This is a repeat of work that was done in 1996 to lift the left side of his face which is paralyzed from nerve damage.  Usually the results of this type of surgery last about 8 years, but being the fiscally conservative guy that he is, he has stretched it to the limit of 11 years.  

There has been one complication:  apparently, some of the presurgical wash used prior to surgery (Betadine) got in his right eye and has caused A LOT of pain.  It is the best today that it has been.  Tomorrow we return to the doctor, so maybe there will be more to report.

Hope you have a speedy mend, Joe. You sound a lot like me, fiscally. I'll spend money on my car, boat, truck or shop, but spend money on me? I don't think so.   Jbird
