View attachment 1181291 View attachment 1181292 Thanks you all for the prayers and well-wishes. The surgery went well and I'm home now. The surgeon said my spine was a mess, and he had to move so much stuff around to get it cleaned out that it's very hard for me to swallow. I had a rough night last night, but feel a lot better tonight. I have to wear a cervical collar (uncomfortable, of course!) but the pain is manageable. You all are terrific! :thumbsup::)

I can only echo what the others have said, glad you were able to have the surgery, and it went well! Prayers from the Prairie for a full and speedy recovery!

Sending positive magic hippie crystal vibes for a full a quick recovery, Jeff.
I'll even throw in a little pewter wizard hoodoo for a little extra oumff ( how the heck do you spell that anyway? )
Seriously, do what your doctor says and get better quick.

I'm glad to hear that you're recovering rapidly from what appeared to be a cutthroat procedure, Jeff! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:;)
I'll continue praying that you can get over the surgical trauma ASAP, experience rehab with as little pain as possible, and that the outcome of the surgery will be completely successful.

That begs the question Jeff - Did your doctor and the hospital provide your treatment at "cut throat" prices?:):rolleyes:

I was out of town to attend a memorial service for a departed relative this past weekend. I drove, so taking pocket knives with me was no problem. I took four along - Case Peanut, two types of Case Stockman (6318 Medium and 6347 regular), and an Alox Vic Cadet.

Day 1 - hotel room, sister had some sparkling water and a lemon, but no way to cut the lemon. Case Stockman to the rescue. Perfectly cut lemon.

Day 2 - the memorial service. Afterwards, we did a "scatter the ashes at sea" ceremony. The ashes were enclosed in a plastic bag inside the box. Nobody had a cutting tool but me. The sharp Vic Cadet I had in the pocket of my dress slacks did the honors, cutting the bag, with the appropriate dignity for the task.

So - two little simple situations where having a clean, sharp pocket knife turned problems into non-problems. Felt kind of good.
