I’m back! - Proof

[mmayo]

Here are two high end bolts turned and finished today. I'm under orders not to lift anything heavier than a dinner plate. Lathe tools and blanks are light! I had an amboyna burl in gun medal so antique brass won. The thuya burl earned gun metal. CA of course.

So nice to be a bit more functional. Sore, but working again. Those sand paper pieces that fell on the floor will have to wait a while…

Glad to hear you are back. Glad everything went well with the surgery.

Good to hear you are back. I get everything I can out of doctor's orders not to lift anything and extend it a week or two. I was given 12 weeks, or until near the end of April before living more than 10lbs. But honestly that is boring. I am chomping at the bits to do some yard work and build a green house to have some veggies (tomatoes) without the squirrels getting them.

Post surgery instructions state no lifting more than a dinner plate for two weeks. See surgeon after two weeks. If all ok, I can lift up to ten pounds for the next two weeks. After that I'm cleared to resume normal activities. I'll stick to it. I get bored with tv and even my wonderful reading after a couple of days.

My garden protected from squirrels and elk.

Yes sir, Sx recovery can get very boring. I found that going for short walks often was very therapeutic And I actually enjoyed them. Keep up the good work and push on though the recovery. Get well. …..Smokey

Very nice pens. I have a few amboyna burl blanks that I am looking forward to turning.

Glad to hear of your good progress both Mark and Hank.
If you are allowed to laugh then read on.
I asked my Surgeon after my open heart surgery how long it would be before I could resume relationships with my wife.
He said it depended if if I was in a single room, or whether I was in a ward with others!!

I too was blessed with cabg and I never asked my heart surgeon such a question. He would have been amused I'm sure.

I'm just glad to have my current health issue mostly in the rear view. I try to think not about my health falling down but rather how to get back to going forward. Best wishes to all.
