    Harry,I had spinal stenosis that started at the very inconvenient time of when we were refurbishing this house and getting moved in. A very painful time. We had the building for our shops built. My wife's business had to be gotten back into action. We painted the interior of the building and we laid the floor to her shop while I was having stenosis pretty bad. Then,she could get her business back in operation. After I had surgery and got back to moving around again,I went back and put baseboard moldings around her floor,and the trim around the openings to her storage areas and her door. Not a very convenient time indeed!! The surgery cured the stenosis,but most of my every day pain in my back comes from my sacrum,which was slipped many years ago,pinching nerves permanently.

    Good luck to you and I hope you recover fully.

    Harry, the "golden years" seem to have a lot of rust in them, or so I am finding out. Keep up the good fight. Sounds like the daughters are taking good care of dad; the are very special beings. Hope the best for you and the Mrs.

    if you start writing again, you know a lot of us will love it.

    Godspeed in the recovery of both you and your wife. Patrick

    Harry, it's great to see you posting again. I hope that you and your wife's recoveries are both swift and complete. Like many others, I have missed your posts, especially the blacksmith related ones. I will watch for the new Apprentice Journal entries!

    Here is hoping for a quick and successful recovery for you and the wife. You will be in my prayers.

    I have given some serious thought to writing some more chapters of the Apprentice Journal if anyone is still interested!
    Add me to the list of the interested.

    Harry,
    Glad to hear you are on the mend. As others have said, don't over do it. I hope both you and your wife continue to heal. I'm also interested in more chapters of your journal if you are up to it.

    That would be "hide" glue then?

    Glad your to hear your pain levels are much more manageable now. I can't begin to imagine what a relief that would be. Hope things go well for your wife's lariat surgery too.

    Yes, please.

    I might even offer up good money for the stuff I should have learnt in shop class,
    had I paid attention. Open a "Go Fund Me" site. I'm good for a couple bucks and an e-copy.
