meflick Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah, great to hear Brad. I am sure you were like a little kid in the candy shop! Now, take your time and behave so you don't get grounded again! Keep a chair and stool out there and rest when you need. Look forward to seeing what you are working on.

kmmcrafts Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Glad you're able to get back at it again.. even just a little shop therapy is better than non at all.. Take it easy though... going backwards would be a bad option just for too much shop therapy.. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCROLLSAW703 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 thank you for all the good advice. Trust me, it has been just a few hours at a time, & sometimes not everyday. It just depends on how I feel. I'm back on the scroll saw! I'm workin' on a dream catcher. I had the catcher already cut, & one feather. I cut another feather thursday, & worked on another project. I started cuttin' another feather yesterday & had to quit. Had a Sawbones appointment & Mary Ann did too. It feels good to be back in the shop!:):) OCtoolguy and meflick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Good to hear you are getting good saw therapy in now. Will expedite the healing I am sure. Hope both your's and Mary Ann's appts. with the Drs. went well. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 things went well, meflick. Mary Ann is goin thru a course of 3 injections in her right knee. One every friday. this last friday was the second injection. Our sawbones is injectin' rooster comb in her knee. I'm sure it's mixed with pain killer & who knows what so it'll go thru the needle. But it seems to help her knee issues temporarily. The last couple days I've been stuck in my chair, again, because my legs were swollen. The Dr upped my diaretics for 3 days, so I been kinda busy.;) OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hey Brad, you might start looking around for a "potty chair" to sit in while sawing. Just a suggestion. Ha! blights69, SCROLLSAW703 and meflick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Brad, glad to hear about your progress. Things were pretty bleak when we talked on the phone. We have continued to pray for a full recovery for you, since we chatted. I am glad you are able to get back into the shop, that has to feel good and also a good confirmation that you are making progress. Hang in there and go slowly at first.. You don't want to end up back in the hospital like Amazing Kevin did when he over did things, awhile back Dick heppnerguy SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stay close to the john. Every shop should have a john. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
