Medical Alert

Hooray for modern medicine!  Fiorella is astounded to realize that it hasn't been a year since her hip replacement, but she's totally recovered and dashes around without even a limp--or the pain she had grown so accustomed to that she didn't realize how bad it was till it was gone.  And she's still happy about the facelift too.  In fact, she's thrilled to get up every morning and look in the mirror. And she's pleased with the results of all the other surgeries she's had through the years--carpal tunnel, gall bladder, two back surgeries, the eye stuff, the aortic valve replacement, the pacemaker, the partial thyroidectomy.

But she had the best results from the C-sections.   

A Revision Kind of Gal

What has Fiorella been doing lately?  Well, she's been working on revisions of PRINCESS OF BOSQUE BEND, as suggested by the divine Liza.  "Aaw, poor Fio," you say, but actually Fio enjoys improving things.  In fact, she'd revise till the proverbial cows come home if you let her.   And why not?  She's been working on herself ever since she was born, smoothing off the rough corners of her personality, finally dropping some weight, decorating her house, her yard, and herself.  She's even revised her face with eyelid surgery.

But now comes a biggie--a face lift.  That weight loss did more than shrink her thighs--it sagged her jowls.  Um--not that turning a year older had anything to do with it, of course.
