Yep, it's true.
This will be a short note.
Recuperating at a friend's house since I live alone. Came into the ER Sunday night before it hit, thinking it was a severe gastric pain the second time (more on this later).
Fortunately, my health benefits kicked in fully the day before! So it was all covered.
Prognosis: minimal blockage which was removed minimal damage, need some recovery time and rehab but should be better than I was.
However, this will cause me to thin the herd and sell all my MB diesels except my one 240, and two gas-powered 220 cars form the sixties. I have interest for some and had promised photos and that person has some choice first, but there's enough for everyone. I had planned on scaling down and getting property for a small outbuilding to to tinker within a couple years, and was moving in that direction.
I will keep one 170D, one 220 from 53 and my 240D driver. The rest will go whenever a buyer shows interest. Photos when I can in a couple months.
I still have my Citroens so it'll be the MBs and the couple Cits.
More to come soon, but this is abnout all I can do today, am supposed to walk a certain amount, sit, walk etc under supervision so gotta go.
If you do not have my cell number, use the message system here, all will be answered albeit slowly by typical standards. Curiously enough, many of my friends called when they found out, including a gf I hadn't heard from in 10 years who wanted to know if I would still be able to have sex (acc to doc, yes, but not this week, obviously). My question was: Why did she wait 10 years to ask????
All the best,
