I visited the Neurosurgeon yesterday, he gave the right answers and MsBubba approved of both he and his answers so I'm booked to be fixed on the 11th. Which brings to mind the Far Side cartoon of the dog in a car going to the Vet to be "tutored".
It will be day surgery with a couple of bandaid sized incisions and a one to six week recovery period. Now I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas, time can't pass fast enough.
Work is crazy right now....So what else is new....It is busy season and one instructor just went down to a horse related injury, so not much wood working between now and the 11th. At best shop organizing and clean up, though I do have the stock sized and ready to cut the joinery for a couple of small boxes.
I just received C.S.'s The Anarchist's Design Book. I haven't had the time to browse through it but when I came home from work yesterday MsBubba had left it open on the Aumbry chapter. Subtle is not her long suit.

Best of luck with your surgery. Sounds like you will have a lot of sharp chisels in six weeks.
ReplyDeleteHi Ken
ReplyDeleteI really hope your surgery will work out as planned.
Reading woodworking books is a way of passing time while recovering.
I think you got to give MsBubba credit for the book being left open on that chapter. At least it means that she is reading woodworking books.
I hope your fellow instructor isn't too badly hurt from the horse injury. Those can be pretty nasty given that horses are not exactly lightweight animals.

Steve,
ReplyDeleteYou know me too well....I may need to buy some more chisels to keep from wearing out my good ones :-).

Jonas,
ReplyDeleteThanks, everything I can find out points to the problem being fixable and is truly day surgery. It should go well.
Yep, she's a sharp cookie.
I'm not sure what happened but I think it was major and he is the only instructor in the building older than I am. Neither is good for quick recovery. Being an old farm boy I know how quickly things can go south with large farm animals but I've no details yet.

Best wishes and good luck Ken. Can't wait to see what you make next, cause I'm sure you will be ready to make something great. Take Care,

We'll all be thinking about you Ken. Keep us informed. Better switch to philosophical thoughts on woodworking for your next few blog posts.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for a speedy recovery!

Thanks Chris,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the change. Now as to being more productive, that's a good question....I can put off with the best of 'em.

Andy,
ReplyDeleteI expect that may be the case, with all that is going on in our world it is hard to keep on wood and not how bad we screwed the pooch last year. On wood I can sometimes say something of interest to others. Medical and political not so much. We will see.

Thanks Mike.
