Last Wednesday after waiting caused by the Cvid events I had this removal. Because I am so old it was done using Needles and threads while I was wide awake.Looking forward to next Wednesday,stitches out.Been in the wars for some time now. Booked in for balance remediation in a Neuro-Otology Clinic in May in Sydney 200 miles away.Scheduled for tomorrow however the proceedure requires strapping into a chair tight band and brace on the forehead,as well as tied on Goggles to shift the tinystuff in my ears. Designed to remove me from the frequent falling department.Rescheduled for May now.Be glad when life settles down.A mate of mine has been making me things to use for kitless pens things such as Mandrels and dies etc another change of direction to look forward to.
Kind regards.

Another wishing you a quick recovery.

When I first saw the picture I thought it was of your butt and how uncomfortable it will be to sit. Then reading I realized it was your noggin. Better to have it on your hard headedness. :wink:

Only worry the mustache on the forehead,but seriously good surgery and hopeful recovery to allow balance and giddiness problem solution. This treatment involves 4 way strapping a forehead banding and goggles on an articulated chair,this recheduled now for May,the nearest flying machine 200 miles away.
