G'Day Shedhand
Sorry to hear of your illness, if its any consolation your pain threshold does improve, I have had a constant headache for past two and a half years since 10 hours of brain surgery. You learn what not to do that makes it worse. Second thoughts probably no consolation at all, but have learned to live with it and is better than the alternative. Get better soon .
Cheers
Bernie.
Geez Shedhand. All I can offer is a cup o' tea. One lump or two.:D
Get well soon.
Goodness me.....talk about "spice of life" .....all those nationalities...just as well all the nursing staff were Aussies....at least you could understand them....guess its like the Doctors handwriting...cant ever understand that either....so guessing it's not so disappointing if we can't understand what their saying.....LOL.....
Well really mate....can't say much that the others haven't covered already...but thought that I would dedicate some of my shed time to you....
On Friday...I am starting another project...the Queensize bed...is finished(that took about 15 days...on & off) ....now I'm going to make a 'Coolgardie Safe'...or meat-safe...
...so... I will take pictures for you from start to finish....let you know what I do each day....its a wedding present for my girlfriend....her wedding is on Easter Saturday....going to Busselton Wednesday before...for it....so have only got 12 days....so lets see how long it will takes!
Going to make it similar to the one on my wed page....but not quite as wide...and this one I will encorporate a hidden compartment into it also....thinking of three shelves...but only one door....can see the picture in my head....want it to look rustic...but different to my stuff...will try to add a little character....
I love to see their faces when my friends look at the pieces I make them....makes it all worth while...
So...my friend...I'll keep intouch...send you pictures and keep you updated....
My thoughts are with you.....hoping the pains subsiding....
Shocking sense of humour I have....but hey I'm honest & can't help telling you.....that I still laugh when I remembered all those "headache" jokes....what was that famous saying "Now... we've established you don't have a headache...how about sex?" Hey...I lost my wonderful man to Cancer....we didn't have a chance to fight it....4th stage & only 6 weeks...so, its so nice to know others have a chance....sincerely your's in friendship...and sawdust....KEKEMO...added my web site link...go into Pictures on the side bar menu....lots of photo's in there.....

Best of luck, Mike. Your positive attitude shows through your tale of woe.

Hi Sheddie,
Na mate, not cursed at all, but,.... I am sure glad I live a long way from you, just in case mind.
In all serious, hope you get well soon and the headache abates.
Cheers
Pops
Best wishes to a speedy recovery and I will let the moderators know of your misfortune.
Here I am again. Just reporting that the headache has abated slightly to around a force 3 (out of 10). Today is the last day I have to take 16 pills of various size and colour. Just a bit dizzy at the moment but guess that'll pass soon. Long weekend coming up so I'm going to start earning my free rent. Going to totally replace 18m x 2.2m of pergola over the bosses rear verandah - I'm living in a nice cottage on his property - loverly place. Just won't look down. Anyone know how to cut Laserlite 2000 without it chipping at the cutting line. I have to cut the standard 2.4m sheets in half to 1.2m long?
Cheers and thanks for all the kind thoughts guys and gals. :2tsup:

Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and taste....
Just a bit 'o' "sympathy" Shedmeister. (or do you like "dancin' with Mr D".)
Jeez Sheddie, hope you're feeling much better soon. You want to stick around long enough to see the Hawks back on top of the comp!
Shedie you've really been through the mill. I hope things improve dramatically.
funny how doctors don't always tell you the full story. I was nottold full about the dope I was taking on leac\ving hospital. Was supposed to stay out of the sun but wasn't told. Luckily only ended up with a scabby face, nothing compared to your probs. mate.
Laserlite? I think needs to be cut with a grinder as far as I know.
Mate I have been feeling sorry for myself having a wrenched neck (painkillers for a week) and a flu type cough (just about to visit doc) but hey your awesome - what a crappy track you've trodden.
Goodluck - you seem to be staying above the ground level so all is not lost - wish you well soon.
Hi Shedhand,
Just had a short stay in hospital with a benign
prostrate condition. I specifically chose to have
a general anasthetic rather than a needle in the
back. I think the staff you had have now joined
my hospital. One young Indian nurse went to
pieces in trying to extract the gear from my
private parts. She failed miserably and had to
call a Chinese nurse to assist. At one stage
they had stretched the offending part to such
an extent I could not believe it was still part
of me. The missus would have been proud of me.
Hope you improve very soon and get involved
in Forum and your shed activities.
Allan
