Welcome, Dale! Glad to have you here.

If you're otherwise healthy, your age should be no obstacle to

getting the repairs you need. (If you've been reading around here a

while, you'll know why I can say that!)

I'm no guy, so shaving wasn't a concern for me. I think some of the

fellows have said that it is difficult for a while post op,

especially if you're swollen greatly. If you're numb, though, you

won't have pain from it. ;~)

Maybe you could just look grizzled for a week or so, and tell anybody

who asks that you're cultivating the " five o'clock shadow " look. Or

maybe your surgeon will have some other suggestions...

Cammie,

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. As far as the " grizzled " look

goes . . . seems like I will have no other option. Arnie said it

best. " If you were like me and worrying about shaving, then that

means everything else is going great. " I truly hope that is the

case. I enjoy reading your post. You've been there and done your

homework. I will be in need of your help and advice, along with

other post-ops, when it is my time for surgery. Thanks again!

Take care.

Dale
