hope my shirt qualifies as Tawdry!

[IanH]

Well here I am three weeks and two days after surgery. I've never noticed but it looks to me in the pictures that I must have blown a stitch in the middle. I think it was when I had to sneeze and couldn't find my pillow so I tried to hold it in. What a mistake.

Oh well, hope my shirt and pose qualifies for "TOOTS"

Wow, what's with all you people and your fast healing scars? At 3 wks post op mine was still gross.
Nice shirt, nice hat and fabulous scar. Welcome to the Order.

 

[Freddie]

Get out!!
That's not a 3 week scar. Its gotta be the air or something that's making you West coasters heal so quick.
The shirt looks great Ian.
P.S.
I have hat exactly like that

Aye, Matey - that's Tawdry all right...

Nice scar!

Best wishes,

Ian,
Nice straight scar and great shirt! I think a drunken sailor cut me, as crooked as mine is.

Just to remind folks what the Tawdry Shirt is all about. (It really isn't just about photos with your scar)...

There are several Tawdry Shirts out there, available to whomever wants to wear one for a photo after surgery. They are passalongs, and collect photos and names as they go forward to new valve recipients. It's about being a part of a big chain of people who have all gone through this life-altering event.

WHAT YOU DO:

- Post a request for a Tawdry Shirt shortly before or just after your surgery. Someone will reply that they have one,and will mail it to you.

- It will contain the shirt, the Tawdry Shirt credo, and photos of others who have worn and passed that shirt along.

- Take a post-surgery photo in it (scar display is not required, but very cool). Put a copy of the photo with comments in with everyone else's. Wash the shirt (standard washing, low-temp dry). Put it in a mailing box ready to mail it to whoever wants to participate next.

If you want a Tawdry Shirt Certificate, give me a holler with a PM and I'll mail one out to you.

Best wishes,

You look great!! Can't believe your ready to party. Looks like your heading to Mexico. I wish I had looked that good in a shirt at three weeks.

 

[Karlynn]

The sombrero make it a Tawdry++ shirt!

 

[IanH]

I am ready to party, all I need is a "Cerveza". Then I look outside and see the snow falling. It never (well rarely) snows in Victoria and never in March.

very strange weather indeed....yesterday I sat on the deck for 1 1/2 hours and today it's a strong east wind with flurries.

Excellent! I think you're setting a new standard. Nice South of the Border flavor, from North of the Border. Congrats, and hope your recovery is smooth.

 

[Woodbutcher]

Wow ! You're looking in fantastic post op shape! That's a great shirt too and neat scar ! Congratulations !

 

[Ross]

I wasn't aware of that. I thought it was just photo's of scars.

Well then consider me as asking for a shirt so I can pose one.

Yes, we must initiate you into the Brotherhood/Sisterhood.
