Two weeks before Easter Son was rushed to Hospital with blood clots in both legs and pain in lower bowel area. After ywo weeks of testing they found he has to much Protien in his blood causing it it to clot to fast .So at 42 he goes on blood thinners ( he has also had a round of Hagdins just over ten years ago.
Next comes # 2 grandson (17) he has come up with Kindney stones that are going to have to be blasted out. This done He is on the mend we hope.
Of course can t leave the old man out of this show so he has to come down with the black dog in his chest. That dog has gotten bigger over the years. Took the Doc three weeks to try and kill it and it is still fighiing back. .So after all of this going on the saw took a very far back seat .And the drug store got RIch.,along with the hospital.I am just now starting to feel better like I have little engery to do some things but do get tired fasterthat I used to. Everyone says it takes time some up to 3 months. ( basket case) by than .
Guess we will see and just take it a day at a time. Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts and prayers they will be put to a very good use.
Jerry

"On the mend" is a good statement. The road to recovery isn't the most enjoyable trip but it's much better than the alternative. Take care, don't be a stranger, and keep us posted on your progress!! The saw is like a good dog, it'll be there waiting for you and ready when you get to feeling up to it. We're the same way, always here with an ear if you need it.

Andy

Thoughts and prayers are with you, Jerry. Like you said: "A day at a time." That's really the only way anybody CAN take it, it's just a matter of how much we want to fight against it and try to live in the future or the past instead of the NOW.

Keep us posted.
And in the meantime, go to the library or join Netflix or something. (You can see this as an "opportunity".)

Jerry,
I'll add you and your family to my prayer list, too. Take it slow and best of luck to all of you. Get well soon and fire up that saw.

G'day Jerry,
When it rains it pours.
Keep the chin up and I'm thinking of you.
