Fuzzy,

I know you've been around this block before but as you begin to crawl out of your skin during the next couple of days, remember you survived this already and will do it again.

I so hope this provides you all the relief you seek. I'm sending you good vibes from across the ocean.

I've also had this idea to braid your beard as tight as you can (2 or more) and pull up the sides of your head. If pulled tight, they can see exactly how much clean space they'll need vs. saving it. I also suspect this might be the procedure anyway.

After the surgery, unbraid the hair. discarding whatever they cut off or ???? and see if you still like it.

Good luck... Dale
