I'm sure the gas girl will find that you're looking foxy!
Jokes aside, I hope he got it all and more show up. No fun.

Thanks for the concern, and for reflecting your personal experience. Matt
has been very good about this, and has good training to back it up. When
he was in dental and facial surgery at Vanderbilt, he spent a lot of time
in the area's best trauma center there, repairing the damage from accidents
of all sorts. I turned to him after the best dermatologist in Middle
Tennessee left me with a bleeding mess. Since I must take anticoagulants,
I must be careful. Matt opened and repaired their surgery site and
successfully completed the job. He has done several more for me with great
results.
He has also received a lot of referrals from local doctors with geriatric
patients.
As to my appearance, I'm not so pretty today. The swelling followed the
pull of gravity and got into the puffy flesh beneath my eyes. It has
mostly disappeared, but left me resembling a raccoon. :-)

Gotta watch those scalp cancers very carefully. My father had them for
years and they eventually showed up as parotid gland cancers on both
sides. The parotid glands are Grand Central station for facial nerves. The
first one (left side) was not caught early enough to avoid significant
nerve damage from the surgery resulting in little to no control of facial
muscles on the left side of the face. He couldn't control his left eyelid
nor the lips on the left side of his face. The doc was better prepared by
the time the right side got involved and there was no nerve damage there.
Tell your grandson to be very aggressive in treating those scalp problems.

I received a 1984 Leica Elmarit-R 90mm lens yesterday, and have spent
some time today getting accustomed to it. The first image explains why
I am limiting my activities. My grandson removed two possible skin
cancers from my scalp on Thursday. I'm not very attractive, but I was
the only portrait candidate available.

The second is a Silver-Sided Skipper on the Buddlei bush

The third is an unidentified very small yellow and black beetle

My first impression is that it is sharper than the lenses that I have
been using, and the images crop nicely, an obvious advantage for photos
of small insects. As for portraits, supposedly handled well by this
lens, I will await a pretty subject before offering an opinion. (The
f/2 version is specifically designed for portraits, but I chose the
f/2.8 to keep the weight down.)
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
