Skin grafts

 

They take a slice of tissue from the side of your face, in front of your ear.  They only need a little chunk, but they make a long slice so they can close the wound without making a big pucker.  From this slice of skin, they trim off all the excess (there was some conversation about having enough left over for sushi) until they have a plug just the right size to repair the damage to the side of the nose.  The plug goes in place, everything gets stitched up, and we’re done.  Two bandages on each face.

Now we’ve each had cosmetic surgery.  Women do this for fun?  I think I’ll stick with birding.  Or maybe I can go play racquetball and get hit in the face with a racquet.
