French facelift?

My mother died on May 1, 2001, and I decided to get a facelift in part to honor her memory. Because I live in Europe, it made sense to have my operation on this side of the Atlantic.I thought about writing a book after that fateful decision, but I am not one of the Rich & Famous, so agents and publishers were not interested in my story. But friends, acquaintances, business colleagues and women in my orbit were definitely interested, so I have decided to share with them -- and you -- more details of my adventures.
