    Follow the docs orders and I know what it can be like. Back surgery did me in for 3 months, and I had pain for 6 months. I found getting some computer work done each day made me feel like I gt something done even if it was minimal.

    Keith,

    Thanks for updating us, we like to know.

    The best way to help us, and more importantly your family, is to do the very best you can to help yourself.

    Every time I use your lubrisizer wrench I think of you and thank you.

    New prescription:
    Visit Cast Boolits daily and contribute to discussions in several sections. Practice CAD skills at least three days a week. Tell your bride that the Cast Boolits crowd thanks her for making you better.

    Hopefully your CAD work will be for some more products for us to play with.

    Kieth, I was wondering how you were doing, so I offered up a prayer. Thanks for the update, the prayers will continue.
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

    If you were ever in any sport, you will understand this.

    It's not a windsprint, it's an endurance run, like a marathon. Like, in football, when we had to run 10, 20 and 30 yards in windsprints in conditioning--then the 50 and 100 yard sprints, then the 440 yard run. You learned to "put out," but also to pace yourself, so you didn't lose it in the end. Keep the end in mind, that's what counts!

    Good to hear from you again, and that you are getting better, even if it is slower than your liking. I've learned a lot from you posts and appreciate it.

    As far as you saying "I really enjoy taking part in the discussions here, but I have to be awake and alert enough to comprehend what's going on around me." Don't worry about it. Heck, I obviously never concern myself with little details like that.

    Take care of yourself, and don't rush things too much. I find whatever I don't get done now will still be there later waiting for me.

    Keith,
    You have my best wishes and prayers for a complete recovery. About 10 years ago I had C2-C7 disks removed and replaced with titanium rods and pins. 5 years ago I had lower back surgery for cleaning out bone spurs and calcium deposits. 3 years ago I underwent rotor cuff surgery on the right shoulder. Then in December of 2012, I had stents placed in both femoral arteries, as it seems I have PADS. I can't do what I once did, course that was 15 years ago, but I'm still going and not stopping. I know that you will do the same. Merry Christmas and think about doing things in miniature. Doesn't require a lot of space or tooling. Doll furniture, scale cannons, models, etc. You'll get to where you want to be.

    Semper Fi!

    Okay that is close to my medical history... no stents and no neck surgery yet, lumbar laminectomy(they remove the back of the vertabrae) alongwith removing parts of the discs that were free floating, right shoulder rotator cuff twice, right wrist carpal tunnel, right knee bone spurs...

    Keith: I was very glad to see your post. You have had your share of problems for a while. I appreciate your input on various things here and look forward to more of them in the future. Meanwhile do have patience and do as your health care providers say. Particularly your wife. Sounds like Christmas will be joyous around your house. My prayer are for your continued recovery and that you get to 100% sooner than later! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
