Northern Rancher, sorry about your battle scar. Cowboying can be a rough life. Hope you heal up and feel better fast.
Several years ago, my cousin was running cattle through an early model Powder River chute. A big cow struggled wrong, and the chute broke apart cold cocking my cousin. He had severe dental problems from the ordeal, and it took quite a few sessions at the dentist office to regain his handsome looks. I was tempted to send him a get well card admonishing him to "keep a stiff upper lip" as everything would turn out alright. Fortunately good sense prevailed, and I didn't send the card. He is fine now.
