Hi Mark,
Had an aneurysm repair recently, you’ll be back in the pink sooner than you think. My surgery was in June 2001 and I was back on the tractor in early July cutting grass relatively painlessly. Been top notch ever since. Best wishes for a fast recovery.

God speed Mark!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. You be good before you know it. When I was layed up for 8 weeks, I even got caught up on looking at lumberjocks once!

God Bless

May God watch over you and give you a speedy recovery.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

Best wishes for a safe surgery and speedy recovery! How about a new hobby using your hands and creative juices? Something like clay modeling witha plastic clay like Fimo dough, as you can model it until you’re satisfied with the results and then bake it, or just store it in an airtight plastic container until you want to work with it again.

It’s readily found in craft/hobby stores. It comes in dozens of colors and you have the knead the clay to become more pliable, so it also exercises your hands.

Good luck and looking forward to hearing from your “post-op healthy you”!

Best of luck with your surgery Mark and get well soon.God speed.

Best of luck!

Look at the bright side… Having a large chunk of your brain removed should make you fit in even better around here! :-)

Hope the food’s good
How about using your laptop and practising sketchup or drawing up some future wood projects.
Heal soon friend.

Charlie, please don’t talk about us like that. Maybe someday they will come up with a brain transplant to help us lumberjocks out. I often sing the song——”If I Only Had a Brain”- From The Wizard of Oz—Actually, it’s my theme song.

Mark, Good luck with your surgery. My sister had epilepsy so I have seen first-hand some of your struggles.
Seizures are not fun, but it is encouraging that they can do something about it. Hang in there, you’ll be back in the shop before you know it. Of course we expect you on here before then.

I will pray for you and your family.

-- Kent Shepherd * The goal is-----More Tools!

Pretty funny Shawn. Wat are you trying to say, some of should work on tightining a few screws? I resemble that remark.

Mark, be praying for you!!! Let us know how it goes, ok.

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

Hope the best for you.

Hope all goes well and get back in the shop soon!!
