I hope to be going home soon. The nurses are very kind. The food is good. This is Canada, health system is free.

Like the steering stabilizer, I am doing just fine.

I hope to be parking my ‘55 in the shop for a while coming up soon. The steering is pretty sloppy (shafts are deeply grooved). My plan is to simultaneously update to P/S, modern tie rod ends, add a self tensioning serpentine belt, electric fans, A/C and hydro boosted brakes. Oh and I’ve got to pull the cylinder head. I’ve got a sneaking suspicion the exhaust valve seats arE NOT in fact hardened. I have to make roughly .010” valve adjustments every few thousand miles. Only on the exhausts… the intakes are holding adjustment clearances perfectly.

I am being transferred to a rehabilitation facility in a few days. I am getting better quickly.

Glad to hear you are getting better. Hope you get home soon.

That's great news! Glad to hear you're making good progress.

Glad to hear things are progressing well.

Thanks for the well wishes. Progress is slow. The latest word is, i will be transfered to a rehabilitation facility this Friday. The delay was from a covid19 situation.
I need some sleep. The hospital has many ways to wake me up, 24 hours of every day.

I have been in rehabilitation for 9 days. I am having a good recovery. The food is great and
the staff are fantastic. My target discharge date is November, 24,2021. I am on track for an earlier release.
My problem started a few years ago when I fell on ice. I pinched a nerve when I knocked my spine out of order. It turned into paralyzed of both legs. I am well on my way to nearly normal.

Good to hear your making a good recovery, hope your getting better sleep than at the hospital. Luke
