Setbacks

Charles Lemon

Hi everyone. I thought I’d post a quick note to explain the shortage of restorations so far in 2017. 

There are lots of pipes waiting in my box, and renovations to DadsPipes Central have almost finished; so far so good. I am not, however, at home. 

As I type this on my smartphone, I am marking Day 10 in hospital following some rather complicated emergency surgery to my heart and esophagus. Apparently these parts aren’t supposed to have holes in them!

I am hoping to be home by this coming weekend, but we are taking it one day at a time. Restorations will start back up as soon as I can manage the work; there are some interesting pipes in the box, so hopefully the wait will be worth it! 

Thanks as always for your continued support of the things I do at DadsPipes; this little blog has grown much more quickly than I had imagined possible, a success due in no small measure to the quality if its readership.

Until next time, Happy Piping!

  2. The doctors won’t allow your pipe buffer and tools in your room ?!?!? 😛 Seriously though, wishing you a prompt recovery, Charles.

  8. Wishing you a speedy and strong recovery, Charles. I was wondering why there was so much silence from the Dad’s Pipes front. Now I know. Praying that you get back on your feet soon!

  9. There are three things that make it possible to heal faster: soup, kisses and cards of “good recovery” …
    For my part, I offer you this last Monsieur Lemon !

  10. I’m sorry to hear this news, but it sounds like you are on the road to recovery. Listen to the doc and your wife, heal fast & well.

      2. Thanks Steve. This was an abrupt about-face for us here. We thought I was 3 weeks into recovering from a procedure on Dec 20, while we were really knee deep in what could have proved a lethal situation had it gone undetected much longer. Thankfully I have been blessed with suspicious doctors, gifted surgeons and some of the best nurses on the planet.
