Kendall,
Sorry to hear you are no better. Glad to hear you're no worse for the wear. Your "Doc" should have talked to you. He did show some wisdom in knowing what he didn't know. In medicine its never good to be the "first one" for any procedure.
And to Alice, who recommends "keep your stick on the ice", is that anything like putting your tongue on flag pole? My advice is to stay off the ice completely.
