I just wanted to pass the word, as I have a few folks waiting for me to mail stuff out: I fractured my jaw the other night and will be delayed a bit due to having it set/wired tomorrow, but I will get everything out within a few days.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, guys.

I had my jaw wired shut last summer due to surgery. Get a good blender!!!!

Remember protein is your friend. Also try to walk. It stimulates the blood flow which greatly aids healing. Finally, find a recliner and sleep in it if you're still showing any signs of swelling.

I wish you well.

Mike

Thanks very much for the kind words and advice, guys; I'm just popping by to check my messages this morning before 'go time.' My sister-in-law is picking me up at 9.

I realized there is an upside to my impending down time....with a mere 8 weeks until the NNL East, and at least 2 weeks out of work, I may actually get some stuff done for the show. ;)

Thanks again, everyone. I'll keep you posted how I'm doing as soon as possible.

UPDATE: I'm home, I'm wired shut and I'm medicated; life is pretty good.

I've already made a bit of model progress around here; I trimmed and mounted my own photoreduced license plates to 4 of my models....seeing as I made those plates(and a whole bunch more) sometime last year, I figured it was high time they get where they belong. B)

Next plan of attack: doing more decals on the racing Rabbit tonight/tomorrow, and mailing stuff out on Saturday.

Thanks again for the kind words and support, all.

Good to hear your home and doing well Dave. WOW, nothing can keep you from the bench can it? :lol:

As soon as I got out of the car yesterday afternoon, I grabbed my shovel and began scraping snow & slush off my driveway...my sister-in-law called me 'superman.' :D

I hope you feel better soon Dave. My step-son had his jaw wired shut from an MVA a few years ago. It sucked feeding him food blended thin enough to suck through a straw. Only kid I know that got sick of milk shakes. If you need anything, let me know. We're not too far away from eachother after all. :lol:

Just don't do anything to injure yourself further. ;)
