I wish you the best with your recovery.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I have found that on many occasions the doctors are not spot on. Their best is only an educated guess. I’ve been told as bad or worse and I am still in the shop. Of course some days I can’t do much, but I’m in the shop thinking and planning. And it is a great place to have coffee. When I spill, no one hollers at me. lol If you are lucky you might even train Momma to bring your meals out there, mine does. I even got her to help remove the finish on a second hand baby bed for one of tour daughters.

You know what they say, the family that plays in the workshop together, stays together. lol Best wishes on a speedy recovery and hopefully the injury is not as severe as they think. Rand

sorry to hear. Put your feet up and plan your projects for when you are well enough.

I am very sorry to hear about your injury. I hope that you have a rapid recovery.

Take care of yourself.

Don,

Been in the exact same spot you’re in right now… Have had back surgeries, and carpel tunnel surgery on both hands,at the same time. So.. I know exactly how you feel, and basically what you are going through now. I still have back problems, and it trys to keep me out of the shop, out of my boat, and other things I have to do, but I won’t let it. Had this since 1990, and it won’t get the best of me….hope it don’t you either. Best thing is just not over-do, and take things slow.There’s nothing that won’t wait until later…..Best wishes…..

Sorry to hear about your accident, and downtime… I have recurring back pain, and I can give you one bit of good news. You should have plenty of time to be working on designs…

I tend to go to the shop even if my back is acting up. If only for a few minutes to think… There is something magical about a wood shop. It helps get your brain oriented right..

I feel your pain, but do not lament. Teach your self sketchup, search the net for plans. There are plenty of things you can do if you can sit long enough.

Sorry to hear about your injury, sounds like a great time to plan or maybe mentor a newbie. Looking forward to seeing you posting as soon as possible

Hope the healing is quick and complete. No fun to just sit but, like others said, it’s a good time to do lots of woodworking searching on the net.

ugh. hope you have a fast recovery. maybe use this time to plan future projects? or attend classes just to stay somewhat involved in woodworking? just thinking out loud!

be safe!

Don,
Just got over a pinched nerve in my neck that kept me out for weeks. Therapy does help, but it takes a while to get back to normal again.
I sympathize with you so much and fully understand what you are going through, I do hope you have a fast and complete recovery.
