    I have been flat on my back for the last two weeks as a result of cancer surgery. It will be four more weeks before I can lift over 10 pds. so a lot of time has been spent on the computer and forum trying to get the next angle on my business.

    I have had two complete knee replacements, two major shoulder surgeries, ulner nerve surgery, and now cancer surgery. Prior to the knee replacements, five knee surgeries were conducted because of damage caused by college sports. The desire was to wait until winter for the surgery so I could enjoy the warmth of being inside. The doctors and my family insisted it be done ASAP. I am lucky because scrap prices are down, this job was completed before surgery, and I am not dependent on Obamacare yet.

    This is not being communicated for pity, just the opposite. During this challenge I found a way to make it an advantage. Most of the time I am caught up in the day to day survival and do not take the time to research. Being laid up forced me to do the research, a blessing in disguise. And by the way, with all the damage to my body I have been dependent on pain killers several times. I am glad to say, those days are over. Now I have a scrapping addiction.
