I had a good friend, retired tool and die maker. He was going to be my machining tutor when I retired. He kept ignoring a sore throat for way too long. When he finally checked it out it was cancer of the voice box and it was too far along to have any reasonable chance at a cure. For three years he played lab rat at the university hospital. His wife was angry at his procrastination. I was angry at his procrastination. Get things checked out, anything you fear will only get worse and more expensive if you wait.
After he died his widow gave me his tools, said he wanted me to have them. Now I have a bunch of tools, tooling and equipment I have to learn to use on my own. I'd rather have my friend.
If you don't want to check out a problem for your own self, do it for the others in your life. |
