Eyelid surgery done and seems to be successful. It will take weeks to know what it finally will look like. The upper lid muscles were nearly fully detached on both sides. Also they had been invaded by fat due to lack of usage. Surgeon reattached them and performed a cool sculpting process to remove the fat. Excess tissue removed from the lids. All done while I was fully awake. Just lidocaine to numb the eyelids. Partially paid by Medicare, but a lot of the work wasn’t covered.

And one for the medical professionals. All three siblings and myself have a sixth lumbar vertebrae. What are the chances?

Unsolicited advice: Stick around for a while and then just ghost with no announcements. I did that at a sailing forum and lurking after that was like getting to attend my own funeral. People said the nicest things!

I like 5 guys. "All the way" probably requires an XL plate.
