Dave,
I agree with the others- sitting and watching television for a while is the lesser of the two evils! Sorry to hear about the leg but happy to hear it's improving. -Steve

Maple flats, get well soon! Your too much of an asset and there's too much I need to know for you to "log off" permanently. Listen to the Doc, and wife. Ted
Yeah the words " Blood Clot " bring back some bad memories, hope your health improves quickly, the only thing worse than a health problem is the allternative and nobody wants that.

As always, I'm late. I just found this today. I hope you feel better soon. I think I read you had an appt this morning. I hope it went well!
I hope you feel better real soon.

I agree with the rest, you bring a lot of good things to this site and hopefully you will be back at it soon.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words. Yesterday the Dr. said I had to lay low for another week, I can work a little but should not be on my feet for a long time until next Friday. All in all I feel much better, but this extra week lost will never be regained. I don't work the 14-18 hrs days anymore like I did 30-40 years ago. Now 6-7 is plenty. Lots left to do, but it will work out somehow.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Good luck with your recovery Dave. Stick to it, as we are all going to need you here for the foreseeable future.

Dave, did they know what caused the blood clot ? I'm at the same age where you start thinking about health issues that just a few years ago you could shake it off and keep on trucking. Hope you get better, good luck.

The Dr. had no idea what caused it, no suggestions for healthier lifestyle. His only comment was that people who are very sedentary have more issues with clots, but I sit very little and I get plenty of work related exercise. I do not go to the gym, I go to the woods.
He has put me on a blood thinner, for at least 6 months.
As far as clotting if I get a cut, I have always clotted far quicker than most people, in fact before surgery about 30 years ago, after a clot time test I had to go to a specialist who found no cause after about $4,000 worth of tests (of which $1800 was second(?) opinions from 9 other doctors at $200 each [friends of his], which I didn't appreciate at the time, I was self pay). The results, they had no idea why I clotted in about 2/3 the low end of what is considered normal clot time. By the way, my dad also clotted fast and he lived to the age of 91, I have no idea if he ever had a clot because he never showed any signs of pain.
