Back Again....

[Corey Hallagan]

Well I haven't been around much since Thanksgiving weekend. I ended up hurting my back that weekend and have a herniated disk. No surgery yet. Trying to fix it with steroids but to the point now that I am not in constant pain and can sleep some at night. Doing much better that is for sure. Didn't get to do any flat box work or do any turning in the last month. Sure glad I made my boxes for gifts 6 months ago and half a dozen pens over the last year for Christmas gifts. Bought some screw driver kits that I wanted to make but didn't get them done. Just to much standing yet.

Anyway...been a long 3 1/2 weeks. Not only that, I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and have it torn up and natta has been done for the last month. The wife is dealing with it well though :rolleyes: Hope you all are doing well and get some new spinny tools from Santa! I am hoping for mostly flat land box makiing stuff but do have the Termite tool on the list. We will see!

Don't rush it Corey!

take your time and enjoy what you can.

[Mark Pruitt]

Corey, I've been noticing you missing. I'm sorry to hear about the back problems. You have my best wishes as you recover. Hang in there!

[Bob Noles]

Hate to hear about that back ole buddy. Not much worse in life than back pain, I can attest to that as many others also. Glad to see a post from you and know you are alright otherwise.

Wishing you and the wifey a Merry Christmas, Corey. Hurry up and get well so you can finish that kitchen and get back to WW.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Hang in there buddy. Rest that back. The kitchen and turning can wait.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Oh man Corey. Hope the shots work. I've had them and they worked pretty good.
