March 3, 201610 yr Spanky Smith, glad to hear you are on the other side of the procedure. Mrs Taylor and I continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. In the last two years, Sheila has had both carotid arteries done and her left shoulder replaced. She is doing very well now. May your recovery be swift. Robert and Sheila Taylor
March 3, 201610 yr Good one Thomas! You guys are giving me "best medicine," a good laugh....though actually it hurts to laugh, so knock it off! 2 hours ago, Frosty said: Take it easy maybe sip a brew if it won't leak out your neck. Ewwww, I need brain bleach for that one! I just came up with a visual I'm going to spare all of you. <shudder> Frosty The Lucky. Ewwww, Frosty, now I'm gonna have to drink things with a mirror in my hand to make sure I'm not leaking! Thanks!!
March 3, 201610 yr Glad your still with us, TP is right. Less pain, less stress, less stress faster healing.
March 5, 201610 yr Hey SS, great to see you back. You've had one xxxx of a trip ... and you still have your sense of humour! You are one tough cookie. Best wishes for your recovery.
March 5, 201610 yr Presume you are doing a little better? I've found 2nd & 3rd days have been the hump days in my operations usually the anesthesia has gotten out of the system and you start feeling like yourself. Your scare, have some stitches tattooed on it and tell people you played in the Munster movie. Have a great day Dale
March 5, 201610 yr I'm glad that you're recovering and have kept your sense of humor! BTW. If folk ask say "I wanted a face lift, but I found out the hard way that e-bay wasn't really the right place to shop for a deal"
March 5, 201610 yr A bit better each day. Swallowing is still a chore and I understand will be for a while, probably part of why I lost 11 pounds in 4 days (either that or, as Frosty suggested, it is all leaking out). I'm thinking of writing a new bestseller: "ACDF Surgery: The Key to a Skinnier You." Not really a weight loss plan I'd recommend, though. Each day I notice things are just a tiny bit easier. Today is killing me because it's absolutely gorgeous outside and I'm sitting on my back patio within inches of the anvil I know better than to even touch yet but would sure LOVE to be using on such a pretty day. Sigh... Gotta take it slow, I know. Really, really do appreciate all the warm wishes and prayers. Sincerely. A coworker suggested I use this line for the scar:. "THIS is why I don't forge swords anymore!" Ha, I like it! I have seen some nifty tattoos online of a zipper tattooed around a scar, too, but at 54 I'm a bit old for that look.
March 5, 201610 yr Author Oh forget a zipper tatoo, been done too passe what you need is a zipper choker. Something flesh tone around most of your neck with a nice shiny zipper in front and a hand forged pull with gemstone. The liner under the zipper would HAVE to be bright red to freak out anyone who asked if it was a real zipper. You DO wear jewelry don't you? Heck even I have jewelry, not much but I have some I wear now and then. Dad's fire opal pinky ring is one of my favorites. Frosty The Lucky.
March 6, 201610 yr Frosty Jewelry! You just shattered my image of you, in the wilds of Alaska not wearing Grizzly Teeth necklace, My Lord. what is this world coming to.

March 6, 201610 yr Author Grizz tooth? Why you wanna forge a little bear tooth? how about a Kodiak Brown or Polar bear? Don't be pikers, gold is the only way to bring out a bear tooth's natural majesty. Frosty The Lucky.

March 7, 201610 yr I need to sneak up there and find the X or with Frosty it might be a silly shape or something.
March 7, 201610 yr Author No sweat (on my part) I'll show you the X and lend you a shovel. Frosty The Lucky.
March 7, 201610 yr Careful Frosty, I can dig a mean hole clear to China. So make sure that X is opposite a gold reserve somewhere on the other poll. come to think of it.... Doubt there is one.
March 7, 201610 yr Author If you're that good how about starting there and angle North and to the left? I'll make you lunch when you get here. I'll make fries with Yukon Gold taters. Frosty The Lucky.
March 7, 201610 yr With the scar, just tell people you used to date a pirate and he forgot about his hook one time when giving you a hug. Glad to hear you are doing well.
March 8, 201610 yr I was leaning toward a run in with a Blutbaden, but only people who stay home on Friday nights would know what I meant.
March 8, 201610 yr I was leaning toward a run in with a Blutbaden to explain the horrific scar, but only people who stay home on Friday nights would know what I meant.
