October 2024: Chugging Along

 

This is the Canadian National Railroad engine 1395, built in Montreal in 1913.  Currently parked in Coopersville, MI, USA, it belings to the Coopersville and Marne Railroad Museum. Sadly it is too far gone to restore. Even so, and even in its current state, it is a beautiful thing to see. 

Well, as I may or may not have mentioned, I had spinal fusion surgery a week ago. Two titanium rods, 4 screws, and a titanium vertebral spacer implanted to relieve a nerve which was being compressed due to disc damage, arthritis, and bone spurs. The surgery went very well, and I have not been in very much pain. The healing process will be another 11 weeks though, as the bone needs to grow into and around the spacer in order to keep it in place permanently, so I will remain on restrictions until Christmas, but I can already tell that this is going to be a very positive thing. 

Apparently, unlike the 1395, I am not yet too far gone to restore, and so I will keep chugging along. :)
