Bad news

[aa battery]

Guess after all these years my hobby is over. After my heart surgery and arteries taken out of my left leg i cant walk far. Today i was told i might loose my leg at the knee. This site is so cool and i will stay here as long as i can. The doctor talked to my wife but told her not to inform me how severe my health is until tonite. Got alot of people here that taught me things so i will let you know wats up. Yes i am drinking a beer before she gets home.

If you lose a leg ,keep detecting anyways.

I kept detecting after having a leg removed. Not the same ,but by golly it is still detecting...

AA,
You're not done, it just that now you have to find a different way of getting your fix. This "hobby" will NEVER leave you and you surely don't have to leave it.. You are a member of the T'Net family and ALWAYS will be... I would be willing to bet that you have a ton of info that the young ones would love to know. So tell your stories and enjoy your days... Yes, it looks like your travelling days might be over, but by no means does that mean you have to leave us or the hobby..

Your Amigo

Sorry to hear that and hope your health improves, I started this hobby after I had health problems and always wish I had got into detecting when I was healthy. It does me good to get out and get some activity but I would have been a little sharper and been able to detect more before my health problems.
