Dear Chuck, Jim, and mid-60s Buick caregivers who occasionally have a need for care in their own right!

Sorry to hear of the need for additional surgery.  As hard as it must be to keep getting up from these setbacks, look forward to the desired result.  Hoping and praying for success soon!

Thanks for prayers and kind wishes!  As I have learned, plastic surgery is much more an art form than a well-engineered process.  So you got to trust the doctors and keep going.  The only additional unwelcome misfortune is the spring allergy season.  When your breathing is obstructed dealing with pollen is definitely a drag.  Still, what can you do but persevere!

Cheers, Edouard

Hang in there Edouard ! Sorry you need to go through more surgery.

Dear 65GS.com faithful,

Here is a quick update on my health situation.  I've had to wait for the UCSF Facial Plastics team to catch up on their backlog, but finally, I'm in the queue for the next surgery.  It is scheduled very early in the morning on this upcoming Tuesday, June 7th.  I don't know how they do this, but they are supposed to thin the flesh of the skin graft so it looks more like a normal nose.  I hope that means enlarging the interior of the left nostril so I can breath better and getting the bridge of my nose to the point that I can finally wear glasses once more.  They will probably have to do some work on the forehead wound leftover from taking the skin graft in the first place back in late January.  It still isn't fully healed after 4 months.

I'm back on the preparation treadmill, but you can only do so much.  Once more I'll just have to endure the ordeal and find out if it is enough to bring me back to an acceptable state of normalcy.

Oh well, . . . . . . Edouard

[Loren At 65GS]

It has been quite an ordeal for you. Prayers for you and hope this comes out well

Edouard,
As you mentioned, I hope and pray it brings you back to an acceptable state of normalcy, hopefully more sooner than later.

Hoping all goes well and you are back to ‘normal’ soon.

Hope things grow well on the next procedure and you can eventually put this behind you!

Edouard,

Prayers for success with this procedure and hopefully an end to the suffering you've endured throughout this process.  We've all talked about "a new normal" coming out of the COVID pandemic and I'm sure it has even greater meaning for you!  Heal well!

Thanks everyone for your prayers and kind wishes,

This morning I had to drive into San Francisco for the now obligatory COVID test before the surgery.  Assuming it is negative (and it certainly should be) then the surgery should be cleared to proceed.

We shall see . . . . . . . .

Hi Edouard,
Wishing all the best for your surgery.
Thought you might get a smile out of my gas can, its about the same age as yours. I have been meaning to send this since you sent your post of fuel cans. I had mine since I was in High school 1990 and used to ride a dirt bike .

Good luck Mate

Thanks for sharing!  I had a very unpleasant discovery with the newfangled gas cans I bought for our portable generator.  They are extremely difficult to empty into a car when the gas has been sitting too long.  I'm starting to come around to the idea that the NATO Jerry can remakes are indeed worth the investment!

Thanks again,

Edouard
