    Hi Andy, glad to hear you are doing well.
    Keep working with the therapist, you seem to be doing much better.

    In what area of Newfoundland are you located?
    My wife was born in Argentia, not too far from St John's I believe.

    Take care, Ken (22dodge)
     
  4. Great to hear that you are doing well. Sorry about the cold, BUT you do live in Newfoundland. Not that New Jersey, or New England isn't any better.

    Keep getting better.

    Best, MRAK

    Great to hear you are home and getting better.
    Being home and well probably will be one of the greatest Christmas presents ever.

    I'm glad to hear you're getting better. Keep up the good work. Do what the doctors and therapists tell you and you'll be better before you know it.

    Hey Andy I was just asking about you over on the Canadian Rodder HotRod Community and CWORD posted a link to this thread. Good to hear you're in good spirits and recouping. We also got a blast from the storm that came up out of the Great Plains, about 30cm. You folk on NFLD apparently got hammered. I have some parts waiting in the wings for your build, but no point in sending them till it's time for them, new MSD plug wires ( you cut to size ), throttle pedal ( to small for my car, perfect for an A ). Anyway, stay cool, I mean warm, and have a great Christmas.

    With that kind of weather, it sounds like a good time to lay low and heal up that shoulder - you'll need it this summer, when you're bang shifting that A-bone around...As long as you have the HAMB and some magazines (and a heater!), you should be okay...

  23. Soooo glad to hear that you are doing so well. Its been almost 2 months since I checked in to see how you was doing and I am really happy you are chompin' at the bit to get started building that Model "eh". A very merry Christmas to you and all your family, it looks like the happy new year part will sort of take care of itself!:D

    Andy:

    I have been praying for you and have been following your recovery with great interest. Now I can finally emphasize with you.

    I suffered from a frozen shoulder on both sides years ago. As I remember it was the most painfull thing that I had ever experienced. The method they used was forcing the shoulder to ever increasing movment. Is that the therapy that they are using on you?

    A few hours isn't too bad without power but a week? Brrr.
    Our fall sucked but since the season officially changed to winter it's been great here.
    Anytime you see ATM and Backhoe in a sentence you KNOW it's gonna end bad! ;)
    How was your Christmas?
    Stay off the morphine?
