STILL STANDING

Hey everyone. I know it's been a while since I last posted and at the time I said I'd have some new inventory coming soon. That was back at the end of March. Well, here's my story, sad but true:

At the end of April, the 22nd to be exact, I was at the shop standing by the bandsaw cutting up some slabs when I felt a pretty strong pain in my chest. I'd been having some digestive issues lately so I thought it was related to that. I took a rest, went back to the bandsaw and finished my work. All the while I was feeling like crap. By the time I got home I could barely make it into bed, but I thought a good night's sleep might ease things. It didn't. The next morning it was clear that something was wrong and my wife ushered me into a cab and off we went to the ER. Turns out I had a moderate heart attack and that evening they placed a stent in my left anterior descending artery. Wish I could say that was the end of it, but I found myself back in the ER twice after that. With more tests and a tweaking of my meds things started to get better for me and now I'm in a cardio rehab fitness program feeling much better.

I'm getting back to business with Dream Burls and I hope to have some new stock in the store later this week. As a bonus I've just lowered the prices on a number of species including Cocobolo, Gray Box Burl, Leopardwood and Bradford Pear. I hope you can pay the site (www.dreamburls.com) a visit and get reacquainted. Thanks for all your past support and I look forward to doing business with you as time goes by.

P.S. It's good to be alive!

 

Glad to hear you are on the mend Myron!
Great to have you back in the saddle again.

 

Thanks Jim. Looking forward to getting busy again. Sitting around on your butt all day is for crap.

 

Yikes! Scary but I'm glad to hear you're getting better!

 

Scary stuff, glad you are still here.

 

Thanks guys. Your kind words are much appreciated.

 

I was afraid you were going to say that you took a header into the bandsaw! Sorry you're going through this, but glad you're feeling better.

 

Thanks Lucretia. A header into the bandsaw, now there's an image I can do without. Thanks for your good wishes.

 

Hi Myron, just saw this - glad you are hangin' in there, all the best for your health and the wood peddling!

Thanks so much Stefan. Looking forward to bigger and better.
