Face lifts and face zits

Isn't another sign of aging a propensity for focusing on one's ailments?
My head has healed nicely. No pain, no more uncomfortable tightness, no blatent indication of what was done. I'm even no longer weirded out (and maybe even like it a little bit?) by reaching up and feeling the stiff ends of the stitches mixed in with my hair. I was supposed to get my stitches out today. And I suppose I am. Just not the way I'd anticipated. Instead of just removing the stitches themselves, the doctor will be cutting some more of the area away. The nurse called last week - it's not cancer, but the biopsy (or bibopsy, as I and Aunt Voula like to say) indicates that more needs to be removed. I'm trying to view it as an insurance-covered facelift. My second in two weeks!
Also in the department of status-of-the-body, I suspect that if I were able to compare my current hormonal mix with my hormonal mix at the beginning of 2005, before Bean took up residence, I would find a match. For the first time since the hormonal changes of pregnancy and breastfeeding, I am experiencing the slight zit-tiness and night sweats that were a monthly occurrence. So, at least for this woman, almost three years to return to "normal."
