Merry Christmas Everybody!

Merry Christmas to you and your family Dave.

Steve

Welcome back, Dave--great to see you here again. Keep running your trains, they are great medicine!!

John 

Right back at you Dave!

Glad to see you back from the procedure!

VERY GLAD you made it through your procedure!  ☺ A few weeks ago, I went in for a routine angiogram and a stent placement. Instead of an overnight stay, I had a retro peritoneal bleed from the femoral artery with resulting severe morphine-level pain from the extensive hematomas! Emergency vascular surgery and an ICU stay plus three units of blood kept me in the hospital for nine days. I would not wish this complication on anyone. I am still recovering from the vascular surgery. Apparently, one too many punctures in the same femoral artery! 😐

I, too, am running my standard gauge 400E and 408E sets and my extensive LGB trains for therapy. ☺

Merry Christmas Dave

Hi Dave, I hope you have a quick recovery and are back again to your super hobby of collecting and operating trains.  I want to thank you for all of the nice things you have said about me on various transformer posts about my work repairing and restoring transformers.

Here’s to a Very Merry Christmas for you and your family and I hope 2020 is a great year for you and you continue on the road to a complete recovery.

Dave,

Merry Christmas to you!

Good to see you post again! Listen to the docs and get well.

The trains look good, as usual. I like my giant Lionel Christmas balls too.

Merry Christmas Dave.  Hope you feel better in the new year!

Merry Christmas Dave, May the aches and pains fade as the trains provide therapy as you get well.

Merry Christmas Dave, good to see you back. Take care of yourself and listen to the Docs.

Merry Christmas to you Dave and to all forumites. I am glad to hear that you are doing well after surgery.

Merry Christmas Dave!

Now you got the best present ever, enjoy your family/friends/train and life!

Gentlemen,

   It's good to be back, I am unable to due any more work on the Train Room at this point, just have to be satisfied with keeping my trains on the tracks and talking with all you great people.  When ever I get the living room tree decorated and the small layout completed under the tree, I will post some pictures of the living room Christmas layout.

Merry Christmas to all!  Have a fantastic OGR Christmas.

IIRC when the Wife had her by pass, she wasn't allowed to lift 5lbs. Hard to work on a trainboard. But it'll be there waiting.

You guys too 

merry Christmas 

Same to you Dave. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Have a Very Merry Christmans Dave !

So great to see you back and hopefully on the road to a full recovery !

I hope you 'Muricans and northern Hemisphere types are enjoying a nice cool time ...

Here it is approaching 47 degrees C ( 117F) and we are praying our houses dont burn down ....

Case in point ... My neighbours 400 yards up the road ... a week ago in the prior hot spell to this.

We are copping it hard at the moment here in Australia , with a lot of the eastern seaboard north of Sydney alight ... as well as many other areas

Thoughts and prayer go out to all people at this time of year struggling for whatever reason ... hug your loved ones and create a memory and be thankful for all we have ...

Merry Christmas Dave. I had been wondering where you had been? Glad to hear you are on the mend. Enjoy some trains when you are able. It helped me out

Best,

Joe Gozzo

Thanks for posting Dave! Merry Christmas Dave and everyone else!

I don't stop counting blessings and saying thanks at Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the recovery of Dave and Art and anyone else here who suffered through health issues this year.

God bless!
