Morning all,

MRI news is that I will be having open heart surgery in November to replace the main Aortic Valve.

The bad news is that I haven't done any modeling in two days

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom

Morning all,

Not the news we were hoping for Tom but at least it's something that can be repaired. We'll certainly have you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this.

No workbench time for me either the past two days. I need to get back to it.

Have a great one!

Good morning Tom and Bob, and all that follow,
Tom you will certainly be in all of our thoughts as you move forward with your surgery, and come through it feeling even better than you do currently.
Like Bob, I will be tending to my work computer, meetings and the daily grind for most of the day.
Have a good one all,
--Paul

Good Morning All,

Tom I'm very sorry to hear your news. Of course you will be in my prayers and thoughts.

Today Kathy and I are going back out to Dad's to do some more things. Who knows how long that will take.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning All, Prayer's for you Tom.

Good morning,

Tom, sorry to read that you will need surgery. Thoughts and prayers headed your way.

Rainy start to the day here. That's not an issue as I have some work to do inside the barn.

Everyone have a great day!

Best wishes, Tom. If fans make the recovery easier, know you've got a bunch of 'em here.
Damp and dreary here this morning. I guess fall has arrived.
Stay healthy!

As I've not been visiting here lately, heard last evening from B&O Guy about Tom's "discovery." While alarming, Tom is out ahead of it, which improves his situation and recovery.

Pulling for you, Tom, as are the rest of the group.

Morning,

Yikes! Tom you have a big heart and pray that the surgery will go well.

In other news, my 80 year old sister in Calgary had surgery a month ago for broken ribs from a fall and is now in a hospice with cancer and got Covid 19 while there. Luckily she had the jabs, but the family can't see her to say goodbye.

Morning. Wishing you nothing but the best with your surgery Tom. Photo of the tower at Chesterville Station.

Tom, sorry to hear, but perhaps better do a preemptive strike now than the alternative. Take care.

Lynnb · October 06, 2021, 11:42:12 AM

Not the best news on the surgery or the modeling but the good thing is you're going to come out so much better.

I'm so sorry to hear that Marty.

Thoughts and prayers going out for your sister and your family.

Covid has made it tough on a lot of folks. I never got to see my mother the last year and half of her life because of it.

Going under the knife is never the most comforting news, but I'm always happy to hear there are options and ways of dealing with whatever life throws at us.

Wishing you the very best for it in November.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't been able to get to the bench in two weeks!
