Thread: Health Circumstances need to sell.

Amos, very sad news, although I was aware that you had health problems.

I hope things will improve for you and Johanna and I wish you all the best with your fight against this horrible disease.

Please let me know if I can be of any help in whatever way, will give you a call before we come to Melbourne next time and see whether you are up for a visit.

Chin up mate, lots of people are thinking of you and I know you have a very loving family to support you.

Amos my friend ! sorry you are not at your best for the moment , we have spoken on many occasions and helped each other from time to time , Only you and close ones will know of your true state of affairs, I hope that there is a glimmer of hope in that tunnel you are facing Don't throw in the towel and stop being the person you are ,caring and sharing ,keep doing what you can as long as you can ,and you can do no more than that. If you have ever read Rudyard Kiplings "If" bring it to mind ,if not look it up on the web ,I have used this short poem at times in my life to give myself a needed kick up the proverbial hehe. The power of the mind is sometimes overlooked in health matters ,but positivity is a good medicine, not always easy but always worthwhile . I shall get Shontara to send you some healing ,you know the sorts of things I like to make ,if I can help out with taking some kits from you let me know . Be of good mind ,and try not to stress that does not help at all , all the best ~ John

AMOS

Amos. My best wishes are with you.

We've only just met and you inspirations have helped guide me. I hope you plan to stay on the forums, your knowledge is invaluable.

Don't be to quick to sell all, I think I know the gentleman Tim is refering to. He ran across a bad health stretch and decided to stop turning. His health has improved, and he is now buying back all the basics.

Cancer isn't the disease it once was, I hear everyday of someone pushing back.

Take care.

Hi Amos,
I am only a beginner but have enjoyed reading your advice and experiences on the forums for a long time before I joined the conversation.
I agree with darrin, keep fighting, God will give you strength and hope to see you back soon
Take care

Hi Amos,

I am saddened and shocked at reading of your plight and
hope that you are comforted by the many responses by
the Forum members.

I fondly remember the day your son drove you from Fern Tree Gully
to Wallan to gather suitable pinecones from my property. You
may remember you gave me a pen made from a pinecone and I
treasure it within my collection.

All the best mate.

Allan

I would like to convey my thoughts and prayers to you as well,Amos.The good work you do with pens for the troops doesn't go unnoticed! Hope your recovery is swift, and god willing that you are with this forum for many more years to come!All the very best mate...MM

There is only one thing sure about this life - we will never get out of it alive. Amos I sincerely hope there are a few miles left in you yet as I love your out look on life. There should be more of fellows like you who are prepared to share their knowledge and help others. If we can make another's life a little richer then we have done good.

My operation on the 27th Oct went ok, a large portion of bowel removed, now been in ReHab for almost two weeks. Thanks to all who have prayed and thought of me.
I have sold my metal lathe, and there is someone wanting to buy my casting equipment when I get out. I will keep some basic tools with the hope I get better, but will sell my Bandsaw and Bench Belt Sander, the last thing I will sell is my Laser Engraver, I really have enjoyed it.
Meanwhile, back at Rehab, progress seems slow, I should be out this weekend all being well, I will be just recuperating at home. Amos
