View attachment 1738766Off to see my neuroligist today. I usually see him once a year, but didn’t last year because of the Bat Bugs. I met this guy in 2012 when I was paralyzed from the neck down. He was at a major teaching hospital in Chicago at the time, and was completely stymied by my condition. All tests and biopsies were useless. After two fatal, but luckily false diagnoses, he sent me up to Mayo Clinic, where I met one of, if not the best neuros in the USofA. He recognized that I have CIDP, and started fixing me. Then he started educating my neuro in Chicago, and sent me back for more treatment and then months of rehab. I still remember the excitement of seeing a muscle twitch when I tried to raise my leg. I started yelling for the nurses, and one of them started crying, bless her heart. I have a deep affection and appreciation for nurses.
After 10 years, it’s still nice to see this doc. He helped me get back to normal~ ok, something likw normal, and I made him a better neurologist.
And now you know why I am always happy and grateful for a new day! Make the most of yours, ok?

That's quite a story, Jeff! I can't imagine what that would be like. Glad you're doing well.
On another note, my niece is at the Mayo right now. She had a liver transplant 2 years ago and goes back for checkups. They tell her it's their liver and they won't let anyone else near it.
They are miracle workers.

I'm having a hard time finding a different way to post this knife everyday, since I've pretty much been carrying it everyday.
A picture of my EJ and the smartphone I usually take pictures with. The best I can do right now. :) ;)

First world problems, I suppose, for both of you. I will offer that I like seeing them every time and how they are changing over time.

Mayo is indeed a treasure. They have been keeping detailed records for over a century, which is why they can diagnose like no one else. They were in the process of digitizing the entire library while I was there. I sure hope their IT people don’t screw it up!

Best to your neice. I’ll bet she appreciates every day.

Thank you, Jack. :)

You, Me, and Gary should start a support group. 🤣

At least all of you post good pictures of your usual knives! I carry the same knife most of the time, and I'm a crappy photographer, so I tend to just post when I change up my carry.

In the spirit of that, I switched out my usual 97 for the BF21 knife today:

Had to change out license plates, so the TL-29 got added for screwdriver duty.

New York Knife Company Hammer Brand relic in my pocket today. The pen is barely used and the main has lost a lot of steel from sharpening, but, it still has an appealing look to my eye. It sharpens up like a razor with minimal effort and still has good snap and half stops. Pretty good for a knife that has been around a hundred years or more. Someone carried this one a lot, revealed by the blade wear and the smoothness of the pocket worn bone jigging.

Nice Rob, I have a similar Schrade Cut Co but with long Spey for the secondary. The Main (like yours) is quite worn down but has an appealing look as well :thumbsup:
