Title: A little more time needed to open the shop
Post by: droppedit on October 20, 2020, 09:32:29 PM
Like I said about it year ago I'd be out business a year. About a month ago I was bringing in bamboo flooring and thought I strained a muscle in my back. Well my wife put up with me taking 4trips to the doctor and ER and when I couldn't make it up 3 stairs she called 911. To shorten the story I have a lower compression fracture in one of my disks. Then the doctor told us I have a series of tumors along my spine and into my lung. I new the addition was for accessible living further down the road but had no clue I'd need it this soon. Good part is that I'm in mass general hospital for all major tests and they are affiliated with the hospital in the town south of me so all my chemo will be done with me at home. I've promised a couple of members that I would do some work for them but I have no clue how long it will take.
Keep posting the great stuff you do and I will be filing the ideas away for the future. I figure I have to get better because I'd hate to see bullseye single anyone out. Lol that would be a experience for someone.

That sucks Dave, sorry to hear it. My wife Mona had an L1 compression a few months before you and she chatted at John's.  She had a plasty procedure where material was injected directly into L1 to bring it back into the correct shape from the compression injury.  While not 100% she is much better as a result.  It doesn't get any better than Mass General, you have chosen wisely.  The Tycoon will wait patiently for your full recovery to become your patient at the new digs.
Best Wishes,
Bob
