Re: Eileen - Looking different

[Guest guest]

Thanks, .

I'm getting so close now--it's on Tuesday! I'm seeing some

acquaintences for the last time before the surgery and I've had to

resist saying " this is the last time you'll see this face, " although I

keep thinking it. Ha ha!

I'm hoping that I won't look too different--younger sounds good ;-)

But I wonder if I'll look *more* like my sister or brother or kids! I

guess we'll see!
