an uncomfortable spring

[jimwrench]

2014 has been a spring I would rather not relive.
Had my right carotid artery reamed in late MAR.
This caused my urinary system to shut down.
Since we were scheduled to go to mvwc meet and then go fishing at lake of the Ozarks;I ended up wearing a catheter to York and for a weeks fishing.
Got home and had prostate reamed.
Then at end of Apr wife had what turned into a brain stem stroke.
Wife of 52 years died May 10.
If you have been recent MVWC auctions you may have met her;we attended auctions in York,Ne Hudson,Ia;Davenport Ia & BarabooWi
Barbara had zero interest in wrenchs but faithfully sat thru many wrench auctions with her oxygen tank.
Last week had left carotid artery reamed and am at home waiting for next Fri when I can drive again.
Haven't had time to look at what I purchased at York but plan to in near future.
This scenario explains why I've been a little inactive on Tool Time.

2014 sucks as far as my health has been too.
Hang in there, bud.

Jim, sorry for your loss and I hope your health issues get better. I know I met you and probably met your wife at Davenport a few years ago. I hope things start to turn around for you.

Jim,

Sad to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and your family. God bless you all. Your wife sounds lovely. I'm going to give mine a hug, just for accompanying me in all my pursuits.

Uncomfortable? With all the drilling, poking, operating and testing you have been through? You must be a very strong man.

Buried my parents (mother w/ fathers ashes) 2 weeks ago. Sounds like its been a tough spring for many here. I feel old, but I get the feeling I am in the young half of the group (chronologically if not physiologically.)

Keep strong.

Larry
