<div dir="ltr">Hi Chuck,<div><br></div><div>I guess it's no consolation that I get to miss Carlisle Imports every year but I do have good memories of the 3 visits I did get to make. I'm not ill very often but when I have been I found one of the worse things is that it's boring and I can't get on with doing anything. I don't think there any 'spring chickens' on the list and I think you might be older than me (I am 60). </div><div><br></div><div>While I do always worry a bit about friends who are ill, I especially worry about American friends and hope they have medical insurance. About the only thing I don't have to worry about when I get ill is what it's going to cost, because it doesn't. However, probably my biggest regret in life is not looking after my teeth when I was a kid and that is something that has cost me.</div><div><br></div><div>So, take things steady, read a book (or several) - let me know if you need any recommendations . . . . Maybe do a jigsaw puzzle (some nice ones with old cars on them - I have a few) and keep posting to the list.</div><div><br></div><div>I've attached a couple of Photos from my last Carlisle visit in 2008 in case anyone wasn't there!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Daniel</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 18 May 2024 at 02:19, AOL Mail Update (Terms & Policy) via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div></div>
<div>I'm exceedingly displeased about missing Import Carlisle! </div><div>Yesterday's trauma surgeon visit confirmed I'm not completely out of the woods! I am now allowed to lift 15lbs.</div><div>I could reinjure the area where I have a very large hematoma from the 2 ruptured arteries. The embocube repair that was done to stop the bleeding was successful . After being poked to feel the extent of the damage and bleeding , I am very sore and once more hurt sitting still. I get the feeling like this will not go away. I know it's supposed to go away. After waiting all winter and into spring for warm weather to arrive , it's here! And I'm stuck unable to do anything I looked forward to. </div><div>Chuck</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
