vicrider 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 I take a treatment for my COPD once or twice a day. It has the effect on me causing hands to shake so bad for about an hour I cannot think of tying and joke about being afraid to eat with a fork. In about an hour or so my hands settle down again and can't imagine living with that 24/7. My hopes for a new and better treatment in the near future for you and other sufferers.

Edward Snowden 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 I am very sorry. I have a friend who is battling with late-stage Parkinson's, and a brother-in-law who succumbed to this terrible disease. I hope the progression slows and we are able to make some real headway in the fight against this scourge. I know it is hard, stay strong. I wish you all the best.

Bazzer69 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 Gene, sorry to read about your condition, obviously keep a positive attitude and enjoy every day. I had heart bypass surgery eleven years ago and I thought my time was up but I keep on ticking even though Im in advancing years. In the meantime, assuming your right handed, maybe a additional material spring could be of benefit tying with your right hand. I do have a question about your vise, it looks like a TRV but the one I had the jaws were different, only three hook slots and the thumb wheel was different. Yours looks good though. All the best, Barry ps being British we might use a bit of black humour, but Ill keep it to myself for fear of reprisals. But a positive attitude will help and thanks for sharing with us.

Gene L 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks, all. Barry, I've had three open heart surgeries, first one when I was about 34, last one about 12 years ago. It let me do things I'd never be able to do otherwise. I'm going on 74 years old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdowney 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2019 I hope I can still tie that well when I'm 74! Heck, since I'm kinda relearning the skill, I'm not sure I can tie that well now. Hat's off to you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
