You always have such great ideas and recipes. Once again, you don't disappoint. Cardamom has become my new favorite spice in the last year so these biscotti are perfect!!! And I have the cranberry swirl cookies chilling now, so I can slice, bake and take to Christmas dinner tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing your talent and enthusiasm for cooking. Blessings in the new year and hope Jeff has a speedy recovery.<br />Merry Christmas!

No more numbness in fingers and pain free! Good luck to Jeff in his recovery - it's absolutely essential that he take it easy and forego the cartwheels for a while.

...Jay - Wow! He had it at the same place - C6/C7. <br /><br />I can't imagine having to take a graft from your hip - sounds pretty painful and I can't imagine how that impacted your healing! Some of it was synthetic that they used for filler, while the rest was stuff they gathered from the area they opened. It is nice to hear from someone who actually went through this too! Did you recover well?<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-55589124293709520092010-12-22T09:30:43.376-05:002010-12-22T09:30:43.376-05:00I had the same thing two years ago on my C6-C7. If...I had the same thing two years ago on my C6-C7. If I may ask, what did they fuse with? I wasn't given an option and had my hip opened up so they could take a graft, but I have heard of cadaver bones or synthetic material also being used. I hope he gets better soon, I know how much misery he went through and I have full sympathy for you Joe, as putting up with someone after surgery isn't always fun.<br /><br />Merry Christmas everybody! I've been having so much fun cooking and baking this year and going through all the wonderful recipes on this blog.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671730505446200269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-63272587699522415562010-12-21T21:03:24.381-05:002010-12-21T21:03:24.381-05:00Anon - And back to you!
