So true, I took mine in and showed the doc before his surgery. He really got a kick out seeing the old stuff. He took them around his practice and showed the staff. Felt like I was showing off an old azz watch or something.

"Oh wow! Those are huge!" was the consensus.
And we have several of those ice packs. They were perfect, we used an ace bandage around his jaw over the top of his head to hold them in place on his jaw/cheeks. Worked great!
