Hey, I'm having surgery on Monday. Any other November surgeries out there? I need to find a Facebook group to join but I have been off of FB for two years. Thanks!
I am over 4 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. My project during my 2nd and 3rd year post-op was to build an underground shelter. This year my wife wanted me to build a playhouse for the grandkids. I wasn't too keen on the idea. But on giving the matter some thought I decided to go ahead under 2 conditions. First - that is was a log cabin playhouse. I never built a log cabin, so it would be a new experience. Second - that the grandkids get involved in the construction. Building something from scratch is very valuable experience that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. They are rather young (11, 9, and 5) but its the process that matters. I must admit that I had to exert a lot of patients since it seem like it took them 200 strikes to drive in a nail when I could easily do it in 5. But that is the learning process. Then we started to work on the roof. My wife had a bad dream which scared her a lot. She visualize me falling to my death. I am approach age 70. It is only a playhouse and I still retain a strong sense of balance. Had to work through that. But this was the final result. I still need to ***** the logs (apply a special caulk to fill in the gap between the logs), but I have to wait 30 days for the stain on the logs to dry adequately.
