Title: Sorry I've been away so long
Post by: malc on December 05, 2011, 12:57:25 pm
Hi everyone, sorry I've been away so long, not been a good year, too much work to do plus my wife has had breast cancer and needed looking after. She's fine now, tumour has been removed and she has just started radio therapy so back to work on the saw! Made loads of Christmas oraments which we sold at our local church to raise money for breast cancer. Made ?105 in one hour!! very pleased.
Regards all
Malc

glad to see your Back.
that's quit a story you told is in just a few sentences.
must be a hard time and I guess it still isn't easy.
great that selling the ornaments went so well.
nice to see that you're back on the forum, but if the wife needs you, we understand that you can't do as much as you want.
wish you good luck and a quick recovering for your wife!

Best wishes to you and your wife.  My mother who lives with me went through surgery in 64 and again in 65 and has been cancer free since.  She is able to see some humor now.  She fell a while back face first on the sidewalk and was told it would have been worse if not for her air bags.  She is now 92 and going strong.
