MadMike's Railroad Paint Shop to close for Repairs

[MadMike1024]

In the next month or so, I will go in for right shoulder joint replacement surgery. Since I am terminally right handed, I will be out of commission for about 7-8 weeks before I can be back to the painting.

I have a few items to finish, my beloved SP&S F7s for Train 1/2, and some other prior requests as time permits.

Being one who suffers from constant pain and illness, I feel for ya Mike. I broke a shroulder in a helicopter crash in 73 and it pains now more than ever. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope things turn out for the best.

Good luck with your surgery and recovery. I hope everything works out great for you.

We all will be looking forward to your return to the repaint world.

oh i almost forgot, i have 1 request before you are out:


Everything!

Ouchie! at least the minimal moving of your hand with the mouse is going to be reasonable therapy! ( although as a fellow member of the rebuilt joint club, I can tell you they never let me keep it still from the moment I left theatre... ). All the best!

Best of luck Mike! Hope all goes well for you.

Having nursed a friend through shoulder surgery, I do not envy you; it's a more painful and bothersome surgery than one might expect. Take it easy, get well and back to the workbench soon!

OK, the surgery was postponed to mid-September, so I get the summer to do as I wish. I want to get this done and get onto the recovery phase so I can get back to normal.

Finally! After all of the folderol and moving of goal posts, my surgery is scheduled for the 27th of this month. I am looking forward to finally being pain free,

Hope everything goes well for you, Mike. We'll be thinking about you.

Best of luck with that Mike!

Tomorrow morning, 6AM...

I'm having the wife bring my iPad after I'm out of recovery, and the hospital has wi-fi, so I'll post as soon as I can. (no, I'm not hooked on the 'net )

Thanks for all the good wishes.
