EYELID SURGERY SUCESSFUL

Yesterday Dr. John De Waal, a plastic surgeon impressed me in several ways.
1. He removed the skin cancer from my left lower eyelid. The ENTIRE process took less than one (1) hour. I felt no pain or discomfort.
2. He was an extremely efficient businessman. He started on time, was never rushed and exuded confidence.
3. He was a true Gentleman. I'm rarely impressed by other people when it comes to being instantly likable. The World could do well to have more people behave as Dr. De Waal.

Today, of course, I have a black eye, stitches and a bloodshot eyeball. I have very little discomfort.

As long as I wear my sunglasses I don't frighten small children nor startle horses on the street! Just kidding about the horses----there are no horses in downtown Auckland.

I've found Auckland to be an extremely clean city. They have a great public bus system.

Yesterday I felt that something was missing. It took me a while before it came to me: I have not seen any "Graffiti" or punky "Street Art" anywhere. How refreshing!

The weather has been sunny and warm. Unusual for this time of the year.

Hi Mal
We're so glad your op went so well! It's good to know there are some gentlemen in NZ! One has to be tentative about having surgery in a foreign country.
When are you planning to return to Torrid in Fiji and setting sail again?
Best wishes
