Letting everone know what happening

[SmithDoor]

Myself the biggest reson I not building engines is my health only Short projects. Have CO2 engines , hot air and steam. In pass I did model. Diesel engines up to D8 cat , gasoline farm tractors and other gasoline engines.
I sleep about 11 hours a day spending must of my time on internet today.

I order a small rotary hope in week table because it is lighter .

So still working in shop on warm days. I have not stop.

Basically I had to must chemotherapy I had 106 chemotherapy.
The good news I am still here. If look UK medical site the longest. They found longest was 15 years and one month. I have past that length. But has taken a toll. So changing things around. What I am building today and keeping project shorter simpler .

I sympathize with you Dave; while it’s been a pain (literally at times) having my left arm in a sling since September 25th, and now that I’ve had the surgery the sling will be with me another 6 - 8 weeks plus not allowed to do any “heavy” lifting for 3 - 4 months (I need to get clarification on that one), for me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I can’t imagine what you are going through, and can only admire your strength.


Best regards, Charlie

Evem my oncologist jokes about being 70.
A year ago I want to the diet others use live a long time. Think was going to a plate green fluffy and a great green shake whit fantastic tast of dirt .

That when my oncologist said no one makes pass 10 years. I later ask 3 more doctors said samething and American Cancer the stop hearing after 9 years.
How do you take that news. Look on internet only to the samething a fed family members would write book. Only find out they diagnosed with stage 3 first then only live 9½ years with stage 4 .
Only UK medical site wear had found one. Theyook in UK , America and Canada this person and family did not write a book.
I was diagnosed in 2009

How would you take news like that ,?

Sounds like you're ahead of the curve.

A week before I had the fall that resulted in the shoulder replacement, my Primary Care Physician told me I was the healthiest 72 year old in his practice; not sure he would say the same thing today.

I am in California so if something happens to Medicare benefits the state has a replacement or go back to my old employer witch have medical too.
I was self employed till 2009 I had two choices disably or back to work. So when back work.

My doctor did make it clear I could had less than 10 years left and most do not make 5 years. I only found last year a big surprise for me.

Hi Dave.
Did you mean you actually built a model of a D8 Cat engine?
I struggle with small engines from castings.
BTW, I’ll be 77 inna couple of months so my expiration date looms large on the horizon as well.
Your description of the healthy green shake tasting like dirt gave me a good laugh.
Keep breathing in & out and let us know how you like that small rotary table.
