Hello micro. I can see you are folding well even if your back is not.

I got a stool and a hand saw. I took a heavy rope and tied the tree to a bigger one so if it fell it wouldn't fall into me. At about the 7" point I started sawing under and over half way on the 30 degree lean. The tip was lying on the cable. Got about 3/4 inch cut above and below listening carefully for a creak. I heard a snap, stepped back and pushed on the lower trunk. My wife was watching at a safe distance. The tree snapped and the top part popped in the air off the cable sending the sagging cable up and back to normal. It would have been a great video but I didn't think to shoot it.

Can I lend your surgeon this hand saw micro? He had better be at least equally careful. I am going to wish you some relief until Dec 16 and lots of luck and skill on Dec 17. I hope it turns out well. Did the neurosurgeon give you a technical diagnosis?

I am here BAP!
Glad you are okay in spite of fallen trees.

Be careful with the chain saw and the tree.

Just checking in before heading into la-la land.

Pain is pretty bad today and worse tonight so I need to get my pain meds going real quick.

The great news is that the neurosurgeon FOUND the problem causing it and can fix it so I have surgery scheduled for December 17. I have off from then until after New Years so recovery should be good.

Out of pain sounds really good to me.

Please be careful with that tree.

My best to you,

micro... Very Happy
