Betty, that SERP belt tool is no joke & interchangeable with other gear wrench sockets...I have really enjoyed & used heck out of mine

I love that kit too. The handle really adds extra oomph when needed.

Night Folks, beauty sleep awaits

Iphones are junk. Always get customer complaints from folks that have them. Their performance is sub par most of the time.

Ive had really good luck over the years with them. I bought this new phone so the Xr can go to mom. She needs something that is reliable and just works without ******* around with settings and config.

Today was a busy one.... my wife had to have her radiation treatment at 7am so she could get home so we could drive to my appointments at UF/Shands in Gainesville.

The main thing I had to do today was take the swallow test. As expected, I failed. They think there is still swelling from the 3 surgeries that I had. Rescheduled again for about 3 weeks from now. Once I pass, they will tell me to start trying to eat soft food and eventually work up to more difficult stuff. Eventually this will lead to my feeding tube being removed which of course is the goal.

My problem is that they had to basically fillet my left chest and take all of that mass and move it up my front and stuff it through and into my throat to allow it to be my new windpipe flap. While the plan worked, it was quite a thick chunk to rearrange on me. That is the part that is still swelled up inside me.

Bottom line is that I feel great, and am progressing still. Because of today’s swallow test though, there will be NO deep throating yet....

Attached is a picture of what they did to me in the third surgery

Amazing what the body can do and recover from! This was a giant undertaking so slow recovery is gonna happen, despite your determination and will to make it go faster.

Glad you are with us. As always, please let us know if you guys need anything. Do not be afraid to ask.

Great to hear things are improving.

You are going to heaven for sure. Because you are going through HELL now.

Christ, that picture.

Looks like they was trying to reattach your head.

Great Halloween costume. You could go as Frankenstein, or a Zombie.

My buddy with a glass eye would pretend sneeze and make the eye go shooting across the table at someone. Little kids were the best, theyd freak out and run away screaming.

That is one sexy picture!

Should use that as your avatar. Or hop on some of the dating apps with it for fun
