Im trying to get the nerve for the next operation. Ill know more this week. Its going to be a very tough one, unlike that simple thing in Feb.

Glad to know you're gonna make it challenging this time ;)

Too challenging for the Docs, evidently. They've decided it's too far damaged to fix and I'll just have to deal with the pain until I die. Muscle dying off too badly to repair now. Not sure yet how I feel. This may have been too tought to handle. I wanted/needed it, but at the same time, I was pretty darned scared of it and the ensuing agony of immobility I would have had to endure. Relieved??, Mad??? Sad???? A bit depressed???? I just don't know.

As for the heart, as of Thurs., I've moved into a higher risk category for some reason, new meds, new treatments, new regimen entirely. I have been moved up to 'Help around the house, lift up to 15, or even 20 lbs. So, some good news out of it.

Truly sorry, Frank.

It is what it is. Thanks for the thoughts. I'm just gonna do what roofers do and hang in there.

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. I've heard this getting old stuff isn't for sissies. Respect . . .

Well, the last load was moved from the shop last week. Wife must have loaded and unloaded 5 tons of slate. I still wasn't able to do as much as normal, but got it done! Kudos to Lou for sticking with it. :)

Mike and Lefty should be able to appreciate how empty the place looks in this picture. :) There had been several tons of steel along that wall behind her.

When the tough going get's even tougher, the tough just keep at it, one slate at a time, eh?

There was a lot of stuff to move.

Just some of it.

Here's a pic of asmall sample of the steel in the shop. I also had seehts, up to 1/2" thick.

I don't even remember where the 14" I-beam came from. :laugh: :laugh:
