That cute little glass bottle has definitely been a superb way to store this Yardley (green label) stick so that it hasn't lost any of its glorious scent after all these decades. But it was getting hard for my arthritic hands to hold on to the stick, so I decided to grate it finely and smoosh it into an empty tin. Much easier to get a really full load this way...

I have been to endocrinologist on Monday for follow-up update report at Prince of Wales hospital, I have a permanent small schmorl's node disease in my lower back, located at T10 and T11, it's bloody painful every day.
Endocrinologist is dealing with a spinal specialist to come up with a solution, my schmorl's node is a size of a skin wart about 3mm in diameter, approximate 2 or 3mm deep into the bone, it's not too serious or severe, it's permanent.
1. I DON'T have vitamin D3 deficiency, my VD3 blood test is WAY above 60, it at 90 ... Which means is PERFECT!!
2. I DON'T have osteoporosis, so the schmorl's node cannot penetrate deeper into the bone.... FINGERS CROSS!!
3. I DON'T have a broken bone in my T10 and T11, where both schmorl's node are located.
4. I DO have a two "spondys diseases" combination of spondylitis and spondylosis for LIFE, born with spastic diplegic from L1 to L3, and also right hip sacroiliac (SI) joint issue.
5. Trust me, it bloody painful, my pain rate is between 5 and 7 range. UP and DOWN 5 to 7 every day on my lower back.

The Sabre handle is a nice counterweight to the heavy La Faulx head, I hadn't expected it to be such a keeper.
