Hello smitchell,
very sorry to hear about your health issues. On one hand, I would have to agree with Stuart (atomarc), you might be ready for a correction of course. But, on the other hand maybe you aren't.
Just like we put on our pants one leg at a time, we live our lives one day after another. My advice to you, would be to not do anything drastic (such as selling or discarding anything yet).
Most of our trucks have been sitting for years to be brought back to life, I would suggest doing nothing for several days, weeks, or even months, and then take the time re-evaluate the situation. If then you draw the same conclusion, then so be it. Maybe then you can somehow rationalize a way to keep part of the hobby intact.
But, I say it's not over, until the fat lady sings, and I strongly recommend that you don't hang around any fat ladies. No pun intended, but the key is to remain positive. Sometimes we have to take a lot of baby steps to get across the rough terrain. Then we can pick up the pace again. Maybe you are just at a rough spot in the road and it's time to slow down for awhile and catch your breath.
Either way, you are the only one that knows what is best for you. So, don't let anyone talk you into or out of anything. I truly believe that to remain healthy, we have to have are hobbies, or projects to keep us going. If declining health circumstances do put an end to your truck rebuilding pursuits, that dosen't necessarily mean that you have to abandon all aspects of the hobby.
Regardless of your abilities to perform the work, as already mentioned over and over, we all sincerely hope that you remain active with the Stovebolt Community.
Hang in there, I wish you the best.
John
