[Marcus]

1931 Flathead: Please know that you are in my prayers, and those of our church family: while things may look gloomy and dark right now - there is always a silver lining if we will but search for it. Isaiah speaks of the coming feast - and I am convinced that it will be magnificent AND we will rejoice together. Surely you will be a part of that feast - and I pray it will be a feast of celebration for your recovery and opportunity to get back to your project.

[old guy rich]

1931 flathead, it's easy to say and hard to do but stay positive. I had double pulmonary embolisms, (12 years ago) wasn't supposed to make it thru the night but did, don't give up. You are in my prayers . Rich

[Step-down]

Best advise ,like Old Guy Rich said. keep a positive aditude ....Prise the the Big Guy

[big deuce]

Hang in there, there IS more than hotrods to enjoy...

[1931flathead]

yes there is my wife and kids and grand kids going to sell all my hot rods stuff and spend more time with them you never know when your day is up

[Capt Kirk]

Use your projects and those that you love as a reason to fight.

[1931flathead]

No money coming in seem not to get any help not old enough to draw social security to old to get help from the county just in a bad spot can't work right now just have to sit around

[50fordcoupeman]

X 1000 what corvette8n said!!

[1931flathead]

Thanks guys I will try when you have nothing to do all day gets hard to think about anything else

[Kahuna]

Just my opinion, 31Flathead:
Don't sell the car stuff. Use it a a motivation to move forward.
Plan on what you want to do to the car(s). It will take your mind
off the other items.
It will seem even more depressing with nothing to plan for.
You are also in my prayers. Keep positive
Jim

[1931flathead]

I Don't think I will be working on cars any more if I hit my head one more time I will be gone more to life then the hobby I'm only 56 and had two strokes in two years the last one was 9 days ago I heart my head in a bad car crash

[Jay in Mass]

31 Flathead.... I'm praying for you also. Keep the faith.

[Bored&Stroked]

Hey 1931 Flathead - thanks for taking the time to update all of us and keep posting away.

I just now saw your post and am sorry that I didn't comment earlier (was out of town all summer). Hang in there and keep the best dang attitude you can - cause every day here on earth is worth it.

Checkin to this site to keep your brain active, listen to the Doctors, be as active as they say you can be and keep a positive attitude on everything - it does go a long way. And try not to sell your hotrod, keep it as a goal to get better and get back onto it. Sounds like the Doctors believe you're doing well - that is awesome!

[chap52]

Brother, God is in control. Take the time to focus on the eternal and reflect upon the blessings of life. Someone once told me, "It's not about the adventure you are going through, but how you go through it that shows where you stand."
Prayers and Blessings coming your way.

[1931flathead]

its been hard for my wife to deal with she been on the phone with the hospitals from the begetting of it she don't take the bull crap the nurse try to give here

[1931flathead]

this is what they are doing

cerebral bypass surgery if you look it up it goes into it

the whole thing
right frontal craniotomy for superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass


sound like fun

[5851a]

Best of luck to you and prayers. I've slowed down a lot since prostatectomy. But I sure like looking at the pictures and some of the amazing work the people on the Barn do. Helps me pass the time and keeps me out of trouble.

[1931flathead]

It is good to look at the work some guys can do

[1931flathead]

Well I got one side done was on the table for 8 hours was in the hospital for 4 days got 39 staples in my head they will do the other side when this side is better

[vilanar]

It's amazing what the doctors can do these days.
Try to stay positive. I'm sure your doctors will do all their best for you.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas,

I'm hopefully I be able to do some more work on my car way it is I can't I have to walk with a cane hard to see with out my glass can't were them untell my staples are out just got to live one day at a time for now

[Marv]

31 Flathead, hang in there. Prayers can fix anything. In 2006 i had stage 4 throat cancer and was diagnosed with a aneurysm between my heart and stomach the size of my fist and said it could kill me any minute. With the doctors help and everyone i knew and a large amount of people i did not know praying for me i am still alive in 2016. Now my back has let me down and i can not walk without a walker and i am a lot of pain. I hope prayers and the doctors can fix this as i have a lot of things i would like to do at 69 years old and i am not giving up.

[AnthonyG]

1931flathead I will keep you in my prayers. I haven't had anything as serious but know it's hard to keep thinking positive when these things happen. I have had to fight depression due to health issues, 4 back surgeries over 40 years, triple bypass, then last year neck surgery. Just seemed like one thing after another. I know it's not easy and my thoughts are with you but ya gotta keep coming back to positive thoughts. The depression is bad for you. It sounds like you need some help navigating the government programs to get some income going. There's a lot of Gov. programs out there. See if you and your wife can get a hold of your local State and or Federal Representatives office and explain your situation. I'll bet they'll help or get someone to help figure something out to help figure out what's available for you. Stay positive and pray to the Big Guy upstairs. Sound like you've got a beautiful family to enjoy and I'm sure they'll help too. If you can get some income going from one or more programs then maybe ya get some of your kids or grand kids into the "motor head sport " and enjoy them enjoying it. Give them the benefit of your wisdom but let them turn the wrenches. Enjoy it from a safe distance. God Bless you and your family. Work on getting well and best of luck.
Sincerely,

[1931flathead]

went to the doc on Friday he wants to do the other side sometime in feb I'm about the same as I was cause they have my blood presser up so I don't have anymore strokes but it is getting old not doing any thing to cold out side

[Talkwrench]

Ahhh geez. Hope it all gets better from here on, sorry to hear you're in such a bad way, chin up ! Here's something to make you feel better..

[Six volt]

I just got back to the barn today after being away for some weeks, and read this, God you've got spunk in you and your going to make it. I'm wishing you the very best with all the repairs that you'll need. Two things buddy, one, I will pray for your recovery, and the second one, tell them doctors to torque down your head bolts evenly, because you have catch up work waiting on the flathead. God bless.

[TomT/Williamsburg]

Great news - hang in there, stay strong, and all of us here wish you the very best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family ....

31flathead hang in there buddy better times are ahead i’ve had by pass and stents put in me but nothing like you have i’ve have a good friend of mine that can’t work because of a condition he was able to get disability social security might want to check into that also stay in touch jump into a post and give us your opinion keep us informed cant find another bunch of guys to chat with good luck stay positive

[Bored&Stroked]

Keep in mind guys, that this is an old thread that was resurrected so some folks might see that 31 Flathead has been through some tough stuff - and maybe just have a bit of empathy for him.

With that said, a LOT of folks have been through tough shit - so if he was way out of line, then that is on him (and I surely don't question the way that Ryan runs this joint).

31 Flathead has been banned for a thread that I know nothing about - so I can't comment on the issues of late, but I do know that I felt for the guy back when this original thread was created.

[ford38v8]

In speaking to disabilities in general, and those involving brain function in particular, many of us lack the personal experience to put these issues in focus. I can attest to the ongoing social challenges faced by the individual, as certainly as disabling as physical mobility challenges. My observation from the perspective of family, it does affect everyone to some degree, and it is on us as community to try to empathize and endeavor to not load additional burdens upon that individual. This in no way is a free pass, but a hope that our responses be from a position of understanding. I for one have been less than understanding at times, and perhaps contributed to the banning of 31flathead for which I regret. I hope his ban is temporary, and (speaking for myself) as we get older, we tend to become curmudgeonly, for which a degree of understanding may also be in order.

You are a solid human being my friend! It is easy to criticize, easy to jump in the shark tank (as a shark) and eat the fresh kill . . . it is a LOT harder to reflect and communicate on one's own shortcomings. Nicely done.

Maybe all the 'Apples' learned something? In the highly dysfunctional world we find ourselves in, it is easy to get caught up in the moment and not realize that words do matter. We all tend to jump on the band wagon . . . and we can all get better. Lets keep things positive and supportive, otherwise NONE of us should be here . . .
