Not much to do with modeling.

[DRG]

My orthopedic Dr. says I have tron the cartlidge in my knee.

I would sure like to know how I did that, but I don,t.

I know it doesn't have anything to do with modeling, oh wait, yes it does I now have more modeling time for a little while.

Out of something no so good comes something real good.

Yea, I understand. I've got some health issues that caused me to retire early......about 20 years too early. But I've got so much time for myself now. I hate not being able to work but I love the time I can spend on my hobbies.

Your story is very familiar. I tore my knee cartilage during a SCUBA dive and got back into car modeling during my recuperation.

Knees and car models. Whoda thunk?

Me too,I had to retire early cause of health reasons.I keep busy but I miss working!!!! ALOT!! the doctors tell me that I'm lucky to be here,funny thing is I don't feel lucky .....at all.working with my hobbies are fun but there needs to be a balance.I still push working and do it when I can.but it is like sneaking candy,you don't want to get in trouble for it.I understand.Thanks,Chris

Know how you feel. In 3 weeks I go in for hip replacement surgury. I'll be out for 3 months. Also looking at a possible carrer change because of it. I am looking forward to more time to build but hate the idea of not working for 3 months.

Ouch. At least you have something to occupy your time with, Donald. That'll be good and allow you recuperate.

Hope you feel better soon.

I had surgery on December 2008 and was out for recovery until mid March 2009. During that time I built some really great models (to me) to help pass the time. During that time I allowed my imagination to roam a bit and and came up with some good ideas for my builds. Take the time to recover and good luck to you!

Just before Valentine's day I broke my jaw, and was out of work for 7 weeks.....it was one helluva diet plan, being wired shut the first 2 weeks, but I was able to get a lot of building done(once I weaned myself off the pain meds the first few days )
