avenuewood Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hello everyone, Been a long time since I posted here. Hence the title. On New Year's Eve, of all days, I had a heart attack! Bit of a surprise, I thought, for my age, I was reasonably fit. Obviously not! Back now sticking my nose into the forum posts. I have taken the liberty of looking on the pattern section and downloading one or two. Thank you to all I have taken one from. I am about ready to start terrorising some wood again. I will put up a picture when I get something worth showing. Regards to you all. Happy belated New Year.

Scrappile Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Barry, glad you are back and recovered. Things like that can really catch you off guard. I had a stroke in 2018 and wow, that was the last thing I thought would happen. But, survived and only retained minor damage,,, will I say minor, my wife says major head damage...., but she said that before I had a stroke.... scrollingforsanity, OCtoolguy and amazingkevin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Welcome back Barry. Glad you survived and are on the mend. I'm 77 and it scares the bejeebers out of me whenever I have any sort of pain that I don't recognize. Take it easy and keep on scrolling.

CharleyL Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Glad you made it back. I am one of their repeat customers, 7 heart related surgeries in the past 20 years. Now that you know what it feels like, don't hesitate to go for help quickly the next time you begin feeling the same or similar. I'm bionic now. I got my pacemaker last Fall, so now I run on batteries. I have enough metal and plastic in me to make the scanners at the airports go crazy. One of the scanner operators told me "Man, you light up like a Christmas Tree". I also have metal knees and survived the big C twice so far. I still stay as active as I can. I'm afraid to slow down. Friends who retired and sat on the porch every day aren't here any more. Do everything that you feel well enough to do. You will last longer.
