If it's something that you want to do, for you, and you really think it will make your life better, then why not?
For a while now, I've been reading your posts saying that you're old, and now I hear you're only 62!? 62 is NOT old.
Heck, in my family, women end up living to 95 or a hundred. They get much feistier as they get older, and they shrink, which is a funny combination. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a 4-foot 85-pound great aunt or grandmother smoking Kools and yelling curse words at everyone while she cooks up a huge mess of food. My grandmother, who's 89, still walks 6 miles a day, runs the Salvation Army, and gossips incessantly about her friends. I'm convinced they all enjoy life WAY more than I do at 32.
Anyway, I think you have a lot of years to enjoy and if you really want this and feel you can get through the recovery, you should do it. Sometimes it's good to say the h*ll with what everyone else thinks.
