Heads Did Roll



Hi, my name is Roary and I'm guest posting here at Sew Grammo.

I was born in Las Cruces, the third largest city in New Mexico a little over ten years ago.  My family is small but I'm treated royally.    I live in a secluded neighborhood on a hill with my parents, a retired NMSU professor and website designer and my dad, a retired doctor.

So you can imagine my surprise when just a few weeks ago while relaxing in my den that my head rolled off.  I'd show you a picture but it's just too painful to look at myself with my head in my lap.

I can't even begin to tell you the surprise in my mother's eyes when she arrived back from her trip to Mexico and saw the stump on top of my neck.  She immediately emailed SuBEARstition Teddies where I was bearthed and was referred to a specialist in bear repair.

Dr. Harry Restore to the rescue!  I was shipped off to his small clinic in Georgia for reconstruction surgery. Luckily the damage wasn't too severe.  At the time of my bearth it was believed that dental floss was the proven method to secure a head to the body.  It seemed strong and it smelled minty fresh.  It was later proven to be only good for cleaning teeth.

The floss was removed and replaced with strong bonded nylon.  I think I'm good for quite a while now.  While Dr. Restore was in there I had him do my eyes.  You know after a few years things tend to sag a little.  Now I look as youthful as the day I was bearthed.

Today I travel back to New Mexico.  The accommodations were great at the clinic with lots of TLC but I'm looking forward to being back in my own den.

Adiós Amigos!  Roary
