Good Monday Morning Patriot Woodworkers! September 29, 2025

[Grandpadave52]

Very little on my docket this week or next. Under too many restrictions and medications. Had surgery Monday morning in Indianapolis (planned; continuation from last years ordeal; one year and two weeks, but who's counting); Was told I would be spending at least one night in the hospital; apparently things went extremely well and most importantly no surprises or issues like the strokes last September; just another 20mm bladder stone. Anyways, checked in at 9:15A; in surgery by 11:30A; wheeled out at to the car 4:30P. Long day but only gone from home a total of 11-1/2 hours.

 

Pretty rough first night at home, but still better than a great night in the hospital. Yesterday, wasn't too bad; last night better; today, I assume everything is catching up; just really tired, some nausea, but able to function OK; Mrs. went back to work knowing I'm not allowed to drive yet plus she still has my drivers license and debit card in her purse. May walk around the yard or up and down the road in a bit; felt pretty good doing that yesterday a few times.

 

Aside from this brief setback, life is good.

Good to hear it was relatively smooth visit.  All things considered.

Good to hear you're doing OK, Gramps.

I hope the doc at least prescribed a dose of donuts for you!

A whole lot of other Rx's but no donuts. We passed at least 1/2 dozen (no pun or correlation intended) known donut depositories on the return trip home too. Honestly, doesn't even sound appealing right now either.

Time to slow down bit @Grandpadave52 . Seems you have a lot of coals in the fire.

Thank you Al. Yeah, not much choice right now. Takes a lot longer to get up to speed it seems. Low on horsepower.

Appears that way doesn't it. I can't imagine why everyone thinks I would want a donut.

 

Thanks for the well wishes Gerald. "One day at a time."
