View Full Version : I'm back


Got Stripers

and feeling better than I did a few days ago, when I was struggling to just get a breath. The xrays were clear, no pnuemonia, blood tests good, although the anitbiotics had been on for the week prior might have knocked it down, but I'm guessing it was a bronchial condition from the start. They were treating me as if it were a severe asma attack. Had 3 days of IV steriods, anti-biotics, 4 hour lung treatments and daily sponge baths by beautiful large breasted candistripers :). Well I wish lol. All kinding aside I tip my hat to all the nurses, who were great and really took care of me.

I've got a bit of a backlog on orders, but I'll be sitting low for at least a week. I'm also going to make some shop changes to reduce my exposure to fumes, specially those incidental ones the fume hood isn't getting now. I'll also bite the bullet and put a good respirator on for a while, although the changes should all but eliminate those incidental fumes, during the brief transfer time from microwave to the final melting pots.

I'm going to try to catch up on the board now, just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words. Not to worry boys and girls, your rubber supply isn't going down that easy. Just been a difficult year and it's not getting easier; them striped bastards better get here soon, I need a break.

Glad you are feeling better GS. Its a pain to wear but the respirator is probably a good idea. last line of defense in case some fumes get near your lungs! Be carefull!

Yeah, whatever... just get moving on my order.

Kidding, don't be spraying WD-40 into my plastic to repel the fish. Although that may be your only chance to keep up with me this year.

Glad you are doing better and I have to agree about a tough year and needing the f'n fish to get off their lazy striped butts and getting up here. At least get to the cape. I'll pop down there to the usual haunts for some schoolies...

Soon.
