Hi Bobbie,
 
Yeah, I had my wife "keep" the Tongs after they took them out, and I still have them. 
 
One time while I was in rehab I talked the nurses into putting me in a circle bed so I could see how it felt.  They had me in a standing position with my head slightly forward when the motor burnt out.  I was stuck there about a 1/2 hour! 
 
With Love,

 Dave,
    You too, huh? I was only wearing the "tongs" for 6 weeks then I had neck fusion. Then I was put in one of those circle beds, THAT was wild. Actually the whole 3 month hospital stay was one big adventure.
