Just home from the hospital Doc says I need four weeks to recover

[Steve D.]

Surgery on the legs (sore as hell) but everything above the waist is fine and I happen to be a model car builder . So the marathon begins tomorrow. I have just finished the Mobius Hornet and have to say it was one of the most pleasurable buids I've ever had . Congrats to them on an outstanding kit . I have the Historic racing miniatures trans kit for the Ferarri 330 P-4 (Fujimi) and the Ford GT-40 and was thinking about one of those . Also on deck is the rereleased 76 Gremlin kit from round 2 ,now I need ideas for a third . I usually build in series of two or three at a time , so I'm looking for idea's . I probably should finish any old projects I have going , I'm sure there are a couple lurking in the basement . So thats it , kinda looking for ideas for the next session.

Take care and see you around the clubhouse

Hey Steve, take care of those legs and enjoy the building time you have.

Know the feeling. Had my right hip replaced, 12 weeks off work, 'bout drove me nuts.

[warra48]

At least you can build!

I've just had my left shoulder repaired last Thursday. Modelling with one arm in a sling isn't really an option, especially when it hurts like hell when I do my exercises.

And typing one handed is a bit of a pain as well.

Hope you recover soon and well.

I am looking at 8 to 10 weeks off of work for a right hip replacement, it's only been 2 weeks and I am getting pretty bored. I did start on a new model though.I need the wife to drive me to the store to pick up some paint. Maybe tonite!

I've been off for a few days now also. Seems my Liver is acting up, enzyme levels are off the charts. Couple more days of rest, than back to the grind.

I remember when I did my bypass surgery, I had to have the wife, and daughter bring up kits tools, and supplies from the basement for me.

Hang in there Steve, I know what it's like. I had right knee surgery January 2011. Spent the whole recovery time building. Just had double hernia surgery 2 weeks ago. First week was hell, but now I'm building. Probably go back to work in a week or two. The older you get the harder it is, I don't know how much more I can take. Good luck with your recovery.

Hey dont just sit at the bench, get some excercise. Try and get up at least every half hour to prevent blood clots from forming.

[jaydar]

work just as hard on your full recovery as on the models. best of luck.
