My last post was about my surgery for kidney stones (see My Surgery: By the Numbers), while considered "major" and invasive, I was not worried about all the complications and possible outcomes. I just needed to stay positive. I trusted the people involved at all levels. Also I am not one to panic in situations that I have no control over and cause most other people stress. Not my monkeys, not my circus.
But I did have one small concern going through this procedure. The protection, care and upkeep of the HBM. I have developed a liking for my facial hair and take pride in being able to grow and groom a well coifed lip cover. Every where I go, I receive complements for my 'stache. It is nice to get kudos on my looks, something I have not gotten much in my life.
My fret was that at some point during the operation they would need to shave it off. I would wake up with a clean upper lip and have to start over. I know it is facial hair and like most it hair grows back. Over the last 8+ months I have nurtured the 'stache and developed it nicely, having to start over at this point would be disheartening, at least to me.
The HBM survived as did I, and things are returning to normal, whatever that is?
