I continue to seek opinions as to whether or not to have this minor surgery, and it's split half "do" and half "don't." Today, I received this advice from my friend, Anne, who is always wise and witty --
"Sounds like you’ve gotten lots of advice, so what if I add my 2 cents. Here’s my only question—does how it look or feel bother you? Honest answer (not to me, to yourself.). If it does at all, don’t try to talk yourself into thinking you’ll rise above it and get over it. You won’t. You’re too vain. (Remember, you drive all the way outside the perimeter to get facials.) And it’s only going to get more timely and costly for all our improvement/ maintenance items as we age…So, unless it HONESTLY doesn’t bother you, I’d go ahead and do it."
I was fine about not having surgery until she brought up my vanity. Now, I may have to reconsider.
