I broke the same bone in a car wreck when I was 20, the steering wheel got in my way, yeah I think I remember it taking a bit longer than others did, the itching drove me up a wall.

Chad G. Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 I used a coat hangar, not a good idea, your skin gets really soft & I had cuts all over my arm when the cast came off, guess I was lucky not to get infection. It remember it felt so good to scratch the itch though, it was driving me crazy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray shows excellent healing, the new "cotton candy" growth (new bone) was quite visible. Dr. said it would take a really hard blow too rebreak it. No more falls! ðĪ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the DR. said to wait because I may be in permanent or worse pain after the operation, just supposing things do go awry a little. Back surgery is a bit different, they want to put rods through 5 of the vertebrae in my lower back, at least partially fusing them, I really only went so far into the discussion. I have friends that wonder why they didn't get it sooner but I have a few that can barely walk, so I'm depending on the LORD to let me know "if" & "when" hopefully never !! Guess there are risks with any surgery, that's why you sign a waiver before hand, not for you but so you can't sue them if anything unforeseen should happen. Your insurance will cover you but $$ can't make you walk again. My hopes are high, everything has stopped progression for over 12 years now, so permanently I hope !!

Wild idea, if you could make it work, but what about somehow placing/applying mibs into/on  the body? Some sort of image or design made out of marbles? Just a thought. Don't even know if that would look good or not. Wasn't sure how extreme you were thinking about getting with your makeover. Like I said, just a thought too display your love of glass ð Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 The middle yard and backyard gardens since 4th of July weekend...it's a regular Jumanji out here! I've never had tomato plants this big...I'm right at 6'1" and these things are taller than me! Can only get my hands half way around the big ones...picking peppers and cucumbers regularly (cucumber for canning pickles and a poblano pictured)...compared to that pinwheel next to them, the onions are doing well...also pictured is an acorn squash, pumpkin and a baby watermelon ð I put the bee in the watermelon patch, paying homage to the gal who continously is out there multiple times daily self-pollinating them ð...going too be a busy fall around here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted July 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Tomatoes are good sized now out there (pictured with a nickel for size comparison)....someone wanted some fried green tomatoes!

William Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I didn't score any marbles today, but had to have this unique 1940's toy. Original box, papers plus the toy itself is in excellent shape. Great story too. Vintage at it's best! ð 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
