What kind of beer?  I still have that can of Fosters in the frig.  Bummer, it's only 4. alcohol percentage.  Bought some Kona beers on sale (12 pack - 10 dollars).  Variety pack, 4 - 6 AC.

I have a beer glass freezing in the freezer for one of those Kona's, the 6% which has been sitting in there for 3 or 4 days now.

Now, my dear friend, CORONA?

Kinda like Mexico's answer to Coors, lol.

When I was a teenager Coors went down so smoothly.  Got on a tough guy kick and started drinking Old English 800. 
Then it was Budweiser and Marlboro cigarettes, lol.

For the past 20-30 years I've preferred a good Bock or other dark beer. 

Cheers!  And BTW, the "Thinking Out Loud" is making me hear voices

Of course I answer them!  Do you think I'm crazy and want to listen to them yell at me all night??

Kona is Hawaiian.  Never had it before.

At least your Corona has a kick, lol.

Use to drink a beer called Bohemian or something like that.

Finally drank that Fosters - was nothing like the ones the Aussie Sailors had

First time of hearing about Broome.

Cheers!

Haven't been by in awhile and just wondering how you are doing...how is the recovery? Hope your looking as glamourous as you were hoping to?...You back in Aus yet?

[Drexy/Drex]

Hi Liz .....mmmm not glamourous.....feeling a bit bland .....well still got the face lift to go ....and i think some cheek  implants are in order .....still here in mexico ....waiting ....seems sometimes things drag on
if things dont start moving soon ....i shall be back in oz shortly ......😊

[LizK]

dang missed the pics again...Hope your feeling a bit better than bland!!! How's Mexico...I remember my oldest brother saying he went to Mexico and said he swore the entire time he was there as he kept bumping his head on stuff (he is 6ft 3) and the doorways all seemed to be shorter than he is used too...LOL

[Drexy/Drex]

Hi Liz Mexico is good.... and im better ...had  a couple of bad viruses
but looks like I'll be ready to do the face lift on may 9th, and maybe cheek augmentation meantime I'll go further afield to take in more of this amazing
Country , might be going to Texas  for a couple of nights to take in a fav band at the levitation festival,
There's a lot more of the USA I'd like to see but you know how our dollar is...
and i must get back to work too.... I think I kinda got lost here 🙄😏
Mmm think I'll be getting my ears adjusted as well
It's funny and I don't know if it's the same for all ffs patients but with me probably due to my age but there was like a honeymoon period where I looked ok but now skin sag has set in no doubt due to the bonework  and I look like .....well not  very good in my opinion ...I can't even really see any female but then my friend said that's it's possibly due to seeing a man's face in the mirror the last 40 yes ....well I hope so ...
Anyway when I get home I'll buy a decent quality mirror that might make a difference....and well I guess a wig.... I've been toying with the idea of getting a mandala style head tattoo
Hope you're fine 😊

Hi Markie....looking really good in your avatar...sounds like your friend is right...I can see female easily and it probably is the 40 years of seeing a man in the mirror. I still struggle with this myself....I do see her more often that I used too but I still see him at least half the time. Don't know about the skin sag as I can't see it myself.

I think all this takes time for it to sink in and I am sure once you are back to work you will realise how much you have changed. Good luck with the face lift hopefully it will be smooth sailing for you.

I am pretty well, keeping busy organising the funds for my GCS in November...its all starting to fall into place with the next week or so being when I will know how much I can fund out of my super. Other than that life remains pretty quiet and I am finding things to keep me busy.

Take care

Liz

Wow you must be so excited Liz  thanks.for the kimd words😊

Well after getting to mexico city and  seeing  and climbing the pyramids.....it was time to vist oaxcana ....for more
History and culture ....except i got the wrong flight i had a feeling i had ...pilot even said over the radio " if your on the wrong flight nows the time to disembark" 😂😂😂
But after all the waiting and hoo hah ....i thought id just wing it...indeed wrong jet... I ended up in a seaside place puerto escondido ......very relaxed and friendly ....but i have the f/lift on the 9th so i dont have time to go  oaxocana have to go straight back to guadalajara  ....hmmm
I.m not seeing  female.in these 😐😥 maybe the face lift and biggeer lipps and cheeks will help

[Drexy/Drex]

Had post to go with this but too tired redo it later



So this times things are going better,  clinic got some special  blood made up for me seeing as I tend to bleed everywhere,  had the face lift,  oloplasty,  cheeks  and lips enhanced  with fat transfer.... I feel a bit like a cat with one of those surgical  collars around it's neck.... 4 different  drips and machine that goes beep (but I soon turned that off)  whew no more surgery  for me for a while....... Lucky  for pain meds......
The team at the clinic  have been marvelous  ,  and are looking  after me well,  Dr Cardenas  has been in and out
to assess my progress , quite a warm friendly  man,  but at the same time has the air of ships captain.
it's a good thing I asked for an xtra night in hospital  as I doubt I could have coped  it took nurses round the clock to get me sorted the first couple of days and I've agreed to stay  here till they discharge  me.... makes sense

Congratulations for getting what you wanted to have done😊 Surgey isn't fun, but as they say in Louisiana, le-say lay bohn tomps roo-lay!(let the good times roll😀).

[Laurie]

 Haven't I seen that picture before? You behave yourself this time Markie. No more of those rushes back to emergency. Do you hear me?

  I am happy for you that you are getting the work you want to have done.
I was wondering about you just the other day. Thanks for checking in.

Hugs,
  Laurie

[Drexy/Drex]

Thanks Missy I think this one will give the look I hope..... 😊

Yes Laurie when the swelling  goes down I think it will beworth it
you sure get around don't you?
I've been keeping an eye on you😊

[Laurie]

 I'm hopeful for you getting that look you are wanting Markie. Heal quick and heal good my friend. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product when you are happy with it.

  Yep, I do get around a little bit. At least in the USA.  Give me a few days and I can be anywhere in the country. I have driven easily 1.25 million miles w/o a moving violation on my record. I did have one for a DUII (I was actually not driving at the time) but it was removed after fulfilling the terms of the diversion program.
  I'm sure I have a few more miles in me yet. That last road trip covered 10,208 miles.

Get well soon Markie.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Hi Liz yes just what I was thinking,
It was a mission... I went through  13 plasma units  and 1 globular package, my Hematologist  even visited
he did a good job.....
gorgeous  would be nice..... but you know I feel  so much better in myself
