Sorry for not making commenting on LJ's lately. I'm sure your projects are all great and worthy of much praise!
Iv'e been devoting all my time to my wife the past 9 days! My wife Carol had open heart surgery on the 13th and is still in the hospital recovering. She had a triple bypass and her recovery is going slow but ok so far. We have no family members here in FL so it's just me taking care of everything. Our two sons did come to visit early on but had to go back to NC to return to work. Hopefully Carol will be home soon and then I can care for her at the house along with what rehabilitation she may need.
I'm looking forward for her to have a complete recovery and then maybe we can get back to our normal everyday life.
Keep up the good work guys and gals! I'm off to see what I can dig up in the ice box to eat!
Tony that sounds really harrowing. I'll bet you had some dark moments. I will be sending my positive thoughts for your wife's speedy and complete recovery. God Bless.
Tony Sorry to hear the surgery was necessary I hope she has a speedy and complete recovery. Everyone here will have you , your wife and family in our thoughts and prayers .
Also my best wishes for your wife's recovery. You need to attend to her as I am certain you are. I can't imagine the emotion experiences you have been going thru. A few years back my wife had a breast cancer scare. I was a ball of nerves. Thankfully it was nothing. Yours is far more serious. Just know that we are all pulling for you and your dear wife!
Take care of your wife !!! Your woodworking and shop can wait. Us LJs and everything else will still be here when needed. Thanks for the updates and prayers to you all. Mel
All my best to you and Carol, Tony. Modern medicine's a wonderful thing. Dad had a triple, back in ninety-eight. That was twenty-one years ago. He turned ninety-four, last week. The heart is the one thing he doesn't complain about.
Hi Tony.
Nancy and I are still thinking of Carol and were hoping she would be home by now. Sounds like things are going in the right direction just taking a little longer. Let's pray she gets back soon and you can start on your honey-do list.
Remember to take care of yourself in the meantime. It's a challenging time but we are here for support.
If I was out there I would help you in any way with some of your chores and could whip up some of my famous chili.
Say hello to Carol for us.
Nancy and Dave

Hi Tony, sorry to hear your wife's health trouble but at least the operation was successful.
Chin up buddy, all will be good. Please pass on our best wishes to your wife.
I'm happy to say that Carol is dong much better today. I showed her all of your kind get well wishes and prayers on my iPhone; she read everyone of them and looked up at me and said in her weak voice; everyone on Lumberjocks is so nice as she smiled at me. I think… no I know you all made her day!
Hearing from you all is better than getting Hallmark Cards in the mail. Thank you so much everyone!
I'll be back with another update as soon as I find more out!
Cheers!
