Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

They are sure putting you through the wringer! The doctor who did that should have his medical license revoked.\

I suspect these sort of things happen all the time here, but that the victims are in a vulnerable position, and less articulate and assertive. I seriously considered calling the police last night, and reporting it as assault :mad: :thumbsup:

Stop padding your post-count Dave! 😂👍

Good morning Guardians, this post has nothing to do with Lambsfoot knives, so please feel free to skip it. My reason for posting it here is simply so I don't have to keep repeating parts of the story, in dribs and drabs. Plenty of folks here got bigger problems, so I'm not asking for sympathy, nor legal/medical opinions, or anger please. I sent out this text (below) to some friends this morning, by way of explanation, and I've had people on the phone ever since, who clearly hadn't read the text :rolleyes: Keeping the pic to a thumbnail, but don't click on it if you're squeamish or have just had breakfast :thumbsup:

"The next time you see me, you're probably going to get a shock, so I'm writing this as an explanation, why I haven't been around so much the past couple of weeks, and why I may not be around as much in the next couple of months. At least 15 years ago, I noticed a small discoloured area of skin close to the front of my hairline. Because of it's location, I wasn't sure how long it had been there, or even if it had always been there. I spoke to my GP about it, and he said it was nothing to worry about. Other doctors I've seen have given the same opinion. Recently, I saw a dentist who noticed it, and she referred me to the hospital. When I attended the appointment, the surgeon I spoke to also told me that he wasn't concerned about the area of skin. However, he suggested I might consider a simple operation to have it removed, so that it could be better studied. He told me that the surgery would involve a single incision, and he would bring skin forward to cover the area, leaving a small, neat scar. I would feel some tightness of the scalp for a week or two, but that would be that. I consented. Unfortunately, when I went for the surgery, things went very differently. It was performed by a different surgeon, in a different part of the hospital, and in a very different manner. I was unaware of what was being done to me, but left hospital with a circular dressing stapled to the front of my forehead. I was not very happy about this, nor the fact I couldn't wash my hair, or have it cut until the staples, and the dressing were removed a week later. That was yesterday, and I was absolutely shocked when I saw what had been done to me. There is a deep, gaping, open wound in the front of my forehead, which I have to try and dress myself (2 nurses struggled). I cannot wash or have my hair cut for at least another month, or get the wound wet in any way, and I just have to hope it doesn't get dirty or infected. In a month or so, I can look forward to having a large scab over the area, as the skin, hopefully, begins to heal. Then, there may be more surgery. I have been left both upset and angry by what has been done to me, which I regard as assault. Unfortunately, because of my vulnerable condition, I may not be around so much, or able to attend events, while my head wound heals."

Got a busy day today, unfortunately, but back to normal service shortly, hopefully :thumbsup:

I saw the same thing! Incredible - especially in light of what we now know about traumatic brain injury and other conditions that may result from high-impact sports! 😮

On Monday mornings, I bowl with a senior-citizen's league. Though I'm not technically of age (or anywhere near it, really - I'm 46 😂), my 94-year-old firecracker of a neighbor, Joan, insisted I accompany my GF's dad to the meets. These are the kind of things that happen to you if you stay unemployed long enough - let that be a warning to you all!! 😂 Once there, Joan proceeded to throw her weight around and convince Peggy, the league secretary, that I should be a member of the league. Nobody wants to argue with Joan (she'll win), so here we are. All of the teams within the league are bird themed. My team is the Penguins. 🤣🐧

Every single one of the seniors, Joan included, consistently bowls much better than I do - even though, due to advanced macular degeneration, she has to use a pair of binoculars worn around her neck to see the result of each throw!

I've now got 4 or 5 octogenarians pooling their efforts in an attempt to get me bowling at a respectable level. They've got their work cut out for them! 😂

Their passion and ability, especially at that age, is truly inspirational!

Well there you go.
A training movie you need to see Will.
 
My original Charlie lamb on top of my moose hide/beaver fur hat. Seldom gets cold enough to wear it anymore. It was forecast to be -40 C here this morning, but, it only went down to -36 C (about -33 F). I was a bit disappointed, we haven't had an honest -40 day for years.

Well, the weather has turned perfectly dreadful - as has my health. Humid, overcast, dreary - and last night, I woke up at 4:00 am in a full flop sweat from fever and with a category 5 headache. I'm not looking for sympathy, and I know most, well - some at least 😂, of you would wish me a speedy recovery. Lord knows there are Guardians in more dire straits than I. If you have positive vibes to radiate - please point them in their direction!

It was with great difficulty and awful slowness that I forced myself to lumber from the couch to the backyard to take this picture. My Waynorth lamb and a two-blade Taylor's for Two-Blade Tewsday. Just pretend you're at McDonald's, Guardians - we do it all for you! 😂

Get well soon mate,

What's the wood on that Tay tay? It's a beautiful knife.

I'm first day back at work this week after being sick the past few days. Plenty to do
