All About Pocket Knives

I went to see the doctor this past Friday the 7th. He said looks like it is healing ok. New appointment on Dec. 21st. He removed the stitches and I got a new cast. Still no weight so I am going stir crazy in the house. Can’t get out to my shop. Continued prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Here are a couple of pictures and a picture of my new blue cast. Warning the pictures are graphic. I don’t think they are to bad but I just wanted to share my experience. If it is too much just let me know and I will remove those two pictures. Like I said thanks for the prayers. I can’t wait to get back out to the shop.

Father, I pray that You will heal Ed and that on his next appointment the cast will come off and no further appointments are necessary. For Your glory in Jesus' name. Amen

Glad to hear that things seem to be healing well!

Amen. We will keep praying.

I'm glad it's getting better Ed. I didn't think the pictures or too graphic, but I have watch doctors do surgery on my hands, though some don't like that idea. :lol

The hardest thing for me during a surgery recovery is not being able to go work in my shop. Sometimes I go out there anyway just too walk through it and remerber the familiar smells.

Ed, glad you are on the mend and 'cabin fever' just means your still alive. Glad it isn't something that will never let you return to your shop. This will just give you a little thinking time so that when you get back out there your plans will be in order. Listen to the Doctors and you will be functioning in no time.

Ed I'm glad to hear you're on the mend.

Now don't go doing something to jeopardize your recovery like hopping out to the shop on one foot.

Yes. Take your time and let it heal properly. It will be 10X worse if you try to rush it. Glad to hear you're doing better.

This is good news. Thanks for sharing.

You will remain on the prayer list, glad you are showing progress, this too shall pass, be patient. Godspeed.

I want to let all my knife accumulating friends know that it does my heart and my foot good to see all your positive posts. That’s one of the reasons I love this site. The love and caring that you all show for other people. I need to rephrase my first sentence to say my knife accumulating family. Sure we may disagree sometimes but that’s what a family does. I am proud to say that I am part of the AAPK family. Thanks for everything, Ed. Oh next update on the ankle will be the 21st. Merry Christmas.

Ed, you may have to ask the Doctor to show you his knives. Looks like he keeps them sharp!

I will be sure to ask him! I would say razor sharp.
