A Sad Day for Lifer

Lifer · Post by **Lifer** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 4:41 am

Gentlemen, I regret to say that I have to sell my M37 for health reasons. My myasthenia gravis has progressed to the point that I can no longer do much of anything in the way of "strenuous" labor. On top of that, I have to go into the hospital on Friday (5 Jun) to have an aortic aneurysm repaired.

See my ad in the "Swap Meet" section for more details.

Sorry to hear the news, a sad day indeed, I thought that with all your knowledge and abilities you would be able to build an award winning rig for sure but I understand the restrictions health problems can cause. I hope the aortic aneurysm repair goes well and that you are back on your feet in a short time. Good luck Charlie, keep us informed.

I wish you the best of luck Lifer, and hope all goes well with both the sugery as well as the truck sale. Sorry to hear you have to let her go.

No way are y'all gonna get rid of me just 'cuz I won't have an M37 any more. They're still my favorite truck, and I can't help but stick my nose into any discussion of 'em. Besides, I figure if my experience can be of help to someone else, it would be selfish of me not to share it with him/her. I'll still be around!

Lifer...sorry to hear you have fancy illnesses...heck the names alone will propbably cost your healthcare a few Gs. You have children and grandchildren right? Keep the rig and have them do the heavy lifting...

Good luck and speedy recovery.

Good luck with the op Lifer.
Do you have any young relatives that would be a good
conservitor <sp?> for your sled.
You could do what my 89 yr old Dad does.
He can't do the work anymore but he can point and direct real good!
I like it and next to actually doing the work , he does too!
Anyway, please don't stray too far.
J.B.

Best to you, Lifer. Will be thinking of you on Friday. AA's are better repaired than exploded, trust me. Speedy recovery & good energy.

Thinking of you Buddy,
Tim

Lifer, seems like you have been on these forums as long as I can remember. Of course your whole world changes for the worse if you do not have good health.
Hang in there and visit often, a lot of good friendship have been developed on these forums. Tom
