I joke about my neck too. Some people are dumb and ignorant so when they ask me what happened I make something different up each time. The last time I said it happened when I went to prison and had a fight with a rival gang member. The new normal is tough..but laughing helps smile I am glad your surgery went well. I lived on liquids for a few weeks but before I knew it I was back to eating taco Bell smile
