Hi forum friends, well, today's news was not as good as expected. The surgeon had removed the two nodules in my right lung and unfortunately, both were cancerous (we had hoped the non growing one was benign!) This news has meant that the non-growing nodule in my left lung, can no longer be assumed to be benign, so next steps are a CT scan and depending on the results, another lung op in the offing! :( (Trying to be positive, but struggling :( - sorry guys!) xx
I should have mentioned to you I am thinking of making an Oak cross. Dont know if you remember a couple of years ago I located the resting place of my sister Irene who was born premature and only lived a few days. Well, I need to contact the Parks and Garden services for that area who manage the cemetary as My sister is buried in an unmarked grave which she shares with a young boy. I havent got any further with it at present but must contact them to see if they will agree. I would like to carve her name on it if I can get agreement.
I hope you are keeping well and have enjoyed your half term break. Thank you for being there for so many of us, Take care, big hugs, Brian.
P.S. I did say big hugs, Brian; not Big Lugs Brian, ha ha.
I remember about you locating your sister's final resting place - I hadn't realised how long ago it was though. I hope the parks and gardens dept will allow you to mark Irene's resting place - an oak cross sounds beautiful - you are a very talented man! How will you carve Irene's name - is there a special tool for such intricate work (I'd need to trace over lettering! )
I've had a good half term break, thank you. Had a list as long as your arm, but managed to cross off most things! Just some ironing to do - funny how I left that job until last! ;)
Thanks for the big hugs - hugs returned to you and Mrs B xx
(Our woodwork project {wedding signpost} is almost complete! I think the term, rustic, is a good description! Will post photo when it's fully constructed!) xx
Thanks for the kind reply. I can use either one of two differnt methods to carve her name. One would be to use a small electric router with a vee shaped cutter and the other would be to use a set of small wood carving chisles Mrs B bought me years ago. This would take longer as it would all be hand work but as it will be a labour of love for me, it would probably be mich more rewarding. I have never used the chisle much so would be a big learning curve for me.
Take care Jo and I hope you take things easy next week when you return to work.
