Official Luthiers Forum!

Hello everyone,

For those of you that do not know. Mid month last month I went in for some oral surgery to have posts implanted in my gums for tooth implants for the teeth I lost in the Feb accident. While in surgery I suffered a stroke. I am fine hand have no long term issues. The stroke was brought on by a vascular reaction to the anesthesia. I was hospitalized for two weeks and have been at home recouping since. I am doing fine and will be returning to work a week from Monday.

There are several of you that purchased plans from me that did not receive them. I looked into what happened and really have no answer as to why all of them never made it. Also at this time my company has done away with our large format printer so I will not be able to provide printed copies. I can however still provide PDF at full scale that you can have printed. If this is OK with you I will refund $5 per set to those that bought a set (mp me you email for PDFs). Or if you wish a full refund I will do that. Please let me know. It will take a couple days for me to get the refunds out as I am waiting for this months pay check to arrive.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but will rectify promptly

Lance I will finish up your plans asap when I get back to work.


Michael

I am sorry to hear this and wish you well, one just never knows what can happen to us.

When all else fails, clean the shop.

No the accident was cause by a 1 1/2" wrench slip that took out my front teeth.

Christmas was too long a wait so you took things into your own hands, eh?

Good to know you're doing alright!

Oh Man, Michael! I wish I had been right, and you were in China. I'm sorry to hear about your stroke, but glad you are able to go back to work so soon. Glad to see you back on the board!

Thanks everyone! I am doing fine. Motor functions are all good except a tad tremor in my left fingers. But according to the neurologist all is fine. It was a relatively small event and have been told not likely to be a problem as long as I keep my BP in check.

I still will be giving the FP class in Denver the 13-16 of May as long as all is well. Speaking of which we are trying to put together an live internet feed for the class so that those that would like to attend but can’t may attend and submit questions along the way. There will be a charge to gain access and I don’t know how much yet. Robbie is working on that as we speak I will let you know details as soon as I can if the video feed is going to happen.

Michael,

Hope you make a speedy and full recovery.

Take care,
Charlton

Hey Michael,
I was just thinking of you yesterday and wondering why I haven't seen any posts from you. Glad to hear from you and you're doing good.

Take care of yourself and pop those BP pills. Doc just put me on them last month.

Love ya bro,
Hutch

Michael, so shocked and glad u r recovering!!! A couple of folks were asking about u a bit back. We just assumed u were in China or what not. Did not no a stroke could happen that way. But seriously, glad u are ok. Mike

Best wishes in your recovery, Michael! I would LOVE to attend your FP class via webinar, and would happily pay the attendance fee for the privilege.

How will you announce the internet version's availability? All the best, Beth Mayer

Wish you well and a speedy and complete recovery, still lovin' the plans on my wall.
Good to have you back,
Rob

Michael,

I am so sorry I didn't know about this. It must have happened the day after I talked with you. I am relieved to hear that you will be okay. I'll give you a call in the next couple of days to catch up.

Talk to you soon,
Dan
