I'll be away from my saw for a while.

Hi everyone, 
I'm having an operation next week to try to fix this old mans back, Doc says about 4 to 5 weeks before I can go up and down the stairs to my shop. My CEO, COO and everything else in the house reminded me of some gifts I had to complete before my down time, I just wanted to show them to you guys & gals. I won't be able to work, but I will be able to sign on the internet and see what all my friends are working on.  I posted this on the other 2 scrolling sites, sorry for the double post.
Thanks for looking.

Very, very nice cutting.  Please follow doctors orders.  I had back surgery several years ago.  The surgery went even better than expected and the hardest part for me was not being able to do much or lift anything over 5 pounds for 6 weeks.  I felt great it was so hard to stay down.  I really hope yours goes a well.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 

I really like the one with Grayson on it.  That backer board has such a great grain.

Love them all, very nice work!

Wishing you the best with your surgery.  Do what the doc says and you will be back at the saw soon enough.

Rick,

My wife had a fall last year that resulted in 2 broken vertebrae in the center area of her back and two more breaks in her pelvis. After several X-Rays and even more MRI, she had surgery in mid January of this year. Some of the delay before surgery was to get a special surgeon to do the work. This surgeon is the only one in North Carolina performing this type of surgery. He travels around the State doing this, so we had to wait for him to be here. Through injections, he used a medical version of 5 minute epoxy to glue my wife back together. She is now recovering, is in much less pain, with no surgery knife wounds to heal, and much less pain.

Since you are likely already scheduled for your surgery, this may be the wrong time to change directions. If not, you might be able to find out if this type of surgery would help you, and if there is a surgeon who does this somewhere near you. It's only been about 3 weeks since my wife had this done for her and although she spent considerable time in pain before her surgery she is now up and doing things in the kitchen again, but with occasional rests in her recliner between.

The best of luck to you in your surgery. I hope it is the solution that you need.
