The illness has robbed me…sob.

[Chaz2b]

Having suffered a suspected TIA, Covid and pneumonia, this has taken a beating to my wallet as well as me. Priorities had to go to my mobility as I live in a village, so precious possessions had to go, including my beloved Tak 78.

I have now sold three Celestron spotting scopes, teleview binoviewers, televiewers 101 and now the Tak78, trying to hold out against selling the Vixen binoculars before I can return to work.

Previously I’ve done all my own car servicing, built up quite a tool set over the years, but at 65 and with this illness I haven’t been able to do that, so I’m having to pay for a lot of work on my car on sickness benefit. Dreadfull ain’t it!

Still have the TALs though…100R and 100RS…just.

So sorry to hear this. Try and keep your spirits up.

You are not alone Chaz.  I've suffered a TIA, Covid and double pneumonia in the recent few years and I'm 83 and still standing so plenty of time for you to get back up to par.  ATB.     🙂

Actually I’m not complaining ( much ), it’s just having to sell the telescopes that hurts more; money is getting tight and I retire next June. I really was looking forward to it but don’t fell so confident about it now.

Sorry to read that but I hope you can in time build up strength and can look forward to returning to work.

I wish you well Chaz. God bless you.

Chaz

Vent away, it will help.

Your health improving and your ability to function is more important than the scopes, after all the sky will be waiting when you are ready to return.

Take care fella.

Sorry, I don't understand the abbreviation, re: TIA

I do wish Chaz2b a speedy recovery.
