If anyone is intrested on what is happening with my new lathe, it has been strange. Every thing was going great untill friday late after noon. I have another chuck monted up and just turned a test bar. Measured it and was struck down with “Benign Positional Vertigo” I feel to the floor and started to throw up, I know TMI, Ihad to crawl to the house where my wife was and she called 911 for help. The y paramedics wisked me away to the ER. Where the thought I was having a stroke. They finally figure it wasn’t a stroke or heart attack, but said it was the worst case of vertigo they had ever seen. I could not stand situp stright, walk or any thing else except barfing my head off, I could not even keep water down from the nausea. Today they let me come home, with a hand full of meds and some exrcizes to help aleviate the dizzyness and off balance.They don’t know why it happened or how it happened. I need a walker to walk stand or do any think be cause it feels like i just finished off a gal. 190 proof. I can tell you I thought I was goner for a while. I have never had any thing put me down like this did. It felt like I was on the tiltaworld, at mach 2.
So long story short I will be out of the shop until I can stand on my own, which no one can tell me so my fine luck just keeps on giving, get a new lathe to make nice stuff. How ever I thank the lord that it was not a stroke and aftera number cat scans, MRI and a heart eco carogram with ultra sound it looks to be in real good shape along with my brain. So thank you lord.
I’ll make it back ASAP, and get the report out on my new baby.
Thanks for looking
