steven newman Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Well...I did have 2 projects on the schedule, last Friday.....but.... That was before I was given a "lift" by the Huber Heights, OH EMS squad...We had gone to the town to pick up my grandson. Stopped at the Walmart on the way back home....wasn't feeling all that good...waddled into the store, sat down at the BP machine, and got my Blood Pressure checked....210/107? Asked the pharmacist about it...we did a second test..was even higher....called my LNP Daughter about it...in about 10 minutes, she was there, along with the Squad.....Then I spent the Friday night in the ER, before I was kept for Observation overnight....they finally got the bp down to 130/70 range, and let me go home.... Calling my Cardio Doctor Monday morning, and see what he says.....right now, I am too tired to do a whole lot. Projects? Well, Gene Howe knows about the one I will be doing....the other Project? Seems I still have a 1 x 6 x 8-1/2' Ash plank. There are a few decent scraps in the shop, as well.....I was going to see IF a small Shaker End Table could be built using that amount of "leftovers". Maybe a 15" x 15" square top? Might even sneak a drawer in? Legs? Those MIGHT be glue-ups...1-1/2 x 1-1/2" squares...then tapered. maybe try out the new handsaws? May have to buy one more "stick" of Ash....we'll see....depends on other things, right now Stay tuned...... p_toad, LarryS, Cal and 6 others 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gene Howe Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Steve, you might want to put yourself further down the list. Better yet, just remove yourself from the list. As Lew says take care of #1 first.

Popular Post Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Agree with the above advice, without your health you won't be doing much of anything. Hoping the cardio guy gets this ironed out. steven newman, Cal, FlGatorwood and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlGatorwood Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Steven, I am so late and sorry to read this. Your event is scary. BTDT. Like others have said, taking care of yourself is priority #1. I hope you get well and can get back into your shop. I need to see more pictures of those hand planes.

Popular Post Al B Posted November 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 You never seem to have time for a bit of R&R. Now would be a good time. For now, think about mending yourself. The wood won't move, so let it rest too. Don't wan't you back in the shop until the doc say's it's OK.

Popular Post steven newman Posted November 20, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Last night, that "feeling" came back, rechecked the bp...244/125.....off to the local ER....poked, prodded, scanned...and meds....they think that my current BP Meds have become out-dated...so, they added two other meds....137/70 when I finally got out of there, this afternoon. Still have that appointment tomorrow with the Cardio Doctor I usually see..... About all I am going to do this week..drop off a couple of dull handsaws, and pick up a freshly sharpened one.....then a nap or three...I'm plumb tuckered out.....you can not go to a Hospital, and expect to get a good night's sleep....they just won't let ya.....

Boy aint that the truth, the Hospital is no place to recover! Steve, I hope they get your meds squared away, and most importantly the doc appt reveals answers, please take it easy, and just rest.

Popular Post Al B Posted November 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Steve, Find yourself a good book to read. I've found this can fill a lot of otherwise boring time when you can't do the things you would normally be doing.
