I got a chuckle out of your post Len.  Glad to hear you're not in series danger, get well soon.

Great that this can be done with an out-patient procedure - amazing what can be done these days.  Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery. 

Len:  I had the supra pubic prostatectomy in late February.   MY prostate was--greatly enlarged--no cancer.  The surgeon said that I would pee like I was 21 years old when it was over.  He was right.  I feel great!!!!!!!!!!  Good luck,

I view the Hi-rail 3-rail forum as a daily digest every morning, so I’ll help keep an eye out for anyone making incorrect assumptions about you or your business. I’ll link any replies I make using your post here if necessary.

Take care, Len.

Len - Sorry to hear about the surgery but sounds like you're going to be OK - I'm sure RuthAnn can hold down the fort

Take care - get well and I'll talk to you soon

Good luck with the surgery Len. I hope everything goes great. 

Good luck Len hope all goes extremely well! See you at York in October.    Lenny J

Len as a very satisfied costumer I am wishing you all the best and a great recover. Please keep us posted on your condition and when you would be all caught up I have 4 shells for your excellent work/restoration.

The Green Light Laser is an amazing piece of equipment. At age 61, in December 2014 , I had the same surgery. It was done on a Tuesday Morning. The catheter was out the next day and by the following Monday, I was working 1/2 days.

I wish you the best of luck with your surgery.

Len:

Sorry to hear you need surgery, but happy to hear that there was no cancer. I hope the surgery is a complete success and that you have a speedy recovery. We will all be thinking about you.

Hi`, glad to hear it`s not cancerous, best wishes for a speedy recovery, Phil

Len, as another very well satisfied customer, thank you for what you contribute so well to our mutual interests.  Best of care for you and prayers for a speedy recovery.  Great news it is not cancerous and you have such a good prognosis.  Take care and look forward to sending more items your way for an "upgrade"......

Good to hear your prognosis and diagnosis will have you in better shape.  Stay well, the TCA and  York needs you!!

Hang in there buddy....I got work for you....stay safe Len......

Hello all,

THANK YOU all so much for the well wishes! Here is my latest update:

My website is back up and running! At last ! All the 'bugs" have been worked out, thankfully.  I've posted some updates there, as well. Just click on 'www.lencarparelli.com' to visit.

The short story is that I have been approved for needed prostate surgery and am just waiting to be scheduled for the operation. Because of the COVID-19, the procedure will be done in a surgical center NOT a hospital to avoid further spread of COVID -19 - which I am grateful for. Once scheduled, the procedure is out-patient and full recovery in about a week or less. AT which time I'll be back at work, and, hopefully, during my breaks, doing "you-know-what" like a race horse!

Seriously, once back, I'll be putting in a lot of overtime to get all orders completed as soon as possible. 

Thank you once again to my train buddies, for your kindness, and patience. I'll post again once the surgery's been completed and I'm "back at the throttle!"

All the best to everyone, and stay safe!!

-Lenny

Glad to hear......thanks for keeping us posted.....joe

Good Luck, Len!  I’ll

keep the 30 bucks I owe you warm!

Thanks for the update, Len.  Take care of yourself, and family, we who have work for you are patient and only want you back at it when you are ready.  Looking forward to your news of successful procedure and full recovery.

LEN,   BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY. YOUR IN GOOD COMPANY HERE IN THE FORUM

PETE,  THANKS FOR YOUR UPDATE, GLAD IT WENT WELL

Best of luck!!!

Good luck and heal fast sir!

Wishing you a speedy and full recovery from your BPH correction! You are certainly THE iconic restoration expert in our hobby!

Glad to hear your set for the procedure, good luck and God speed, Phil

Pulling for a speedy recovery for you, Len. Stay Safe.

Full recovery in a week or less? Maybe.

I had Greenlight on May 5th. The first two weeks of recovery were brutal, but the third week was better. Be prepared to take it easy a lot more than just jumping back to work. Everyone is different and heals differently, but don't get too optimistic.

Yes it is a medical miracle. Yes it is a great advance in modern medicine. Both of my doctors told me to essentially quit complaining about it. But just beware.

And yes, I can write my name in the snow across the street.

Hopefully he is not in parallel danger either.

Yep, hope his parallel danger is minimized.  How did that slip through.

Len doesn't know it yet but he is going to have some Super-O to bend when he gets back.

"...he is going to have some Super-O to bend..."

Either way, best of luck, Len.

Hmmmm

You’ll soon be putting out fires once again!

When using a surgery center always check for insurance coverage.  Some policies differentiate payment between hospitals and surgery centers. 

Also, surgery centers are not equipped to handle serious problems when something goes real bad.

Doctors love surgery centers, they own them.

GOOD NEWS!!!! I received an email from Lenny and all went well. He is getting back in the swing of things.

So Royboy, are you Printing or Cursive?

Get better buddy.

Feel better Lenny

Hi all!

Like all of us, I sure miss all my train buddies and the train meets, but I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and kind words during my illness!  I'm officially back at work full-time now, 6 days a week, I take Sundays off.  All is well, [finally!] and I hope it stays that way! First order of business-  catching up on my deluge of back orders. Please bear with me, and feel free to call, write or e-mail anytime  

Thanks again and be  well, stay safe  everyone!

Lenny!
