Ugh...setbacks...

Haha! You guys are just awesome, thanks for the laughs. I guess I did forget to mention the part where I fought off no less than 50 armed goons to save a damsel in distress!

'Tis ok, we know how modest you Canadians can be.

In that case, I've heard they were at least 60 or 70 and NGKLAGT fought blindfolded to give them a chance

Oh my, that is rotten news -

Glad to hear you're still on this side of the turf - get well, do your research during this off dig time and hoping to see new digs soon.

Got the casts off today! It's been 6 long weeks. Wow, so liberating to simply feel the air again. MRI and report on the knee looked great, almost threw up from excitement over the good news - I was afraid they were gonna tell me I needed surgery and more waiting time. Now it's a matter of wiggling my toes and fingers and slowly gettin' a full range of motion in my ankle and elbow. It's almost over!

Can't wait to dig up some more treasure! 'At least 4-5 more months of digging left before the ground gets hard.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. All that for a hangnail. :laughing7:

Glad you're doin' better!

NJKLAGT · Jul 14, 2016

Hah! If only. I'd take a hangnail any day. This sittin' around stuff is against my nature.

It looks like somebody was watching out for you. I'm so glad you are in one piece and getting better. You could use some of the time to research coins, or relics or whatever you like the best. You will be back with your hands in the dirt in no time. Hang in

I bet you had quite an aroma when the casts came off! Glad you are getting better.

bottlehunterofcoscob · Jul 14, 2016

Really happy to hear this!!! Keep us posted!

NJKLAGT · Jul 14, 2016

It is wild!

Ima digger, my two kitty buds up in cat heaven were definitely lookin' on me! Goldenplug, it's riiiiipe, I've been peeling off what looks like a 1mm layer of wax. Cob, I'll keep you guys posted for sure, I've got unfinished business in a couple spots.

'Hoping to transition to crutches in about a week or so, we'll see, and hit a spot close to home, and then go out from there...

Glad you are doing well.

NJKLAGT · Jul 17, 2016

Thank you, sir!

Last night I dreamt that I had suddenly got my strength back, and walked out the door to go digging. Although it was the best sleep I've had in a while the dream was such a tease.

it could have been much worse...years ago i saw a feller on the freeway do kinda what you described...but with a semi...he let it pass him and veered over to get behind him....without thinking it was a double. I was right next to him, had to wipe the blood off my car, i imagine they used a shovel to clean him up. so, like i said...coulda been MUCH worse.
