Down and out
Hi guys had a really bad seizure on Monday and has really knocked me for 6, My arachnoids is causing so much pain, Yesterday had another one and had to be rushed into hospital with yet more damage after falling down the stairs,I'm so down I'm thinking of getting shot of all my tanks. It's so hard motivating my self when I'm having a few good hours to go out to the work shop as I know the pain will start as soon as I sit down.
Hope your all keeping well
Andy

Re: Down and out
Very sorry to hear your health news. It would be a great shame if you were forced to get rid of your tanks. You do such a great job with your painting and I know how much you enjoy them. I hope things get back to a relative normality soon. Best wishes 

Richard

There saying 2 or 3 years before I'm likely to see any difference ,and even then there,s only a small chance of a positive outcome.

Re: Down and out
Living with a chronic illness is a really rough deal.
My late sister-in-law suffered from Lupus, and it made it almost impossible to squeeze even a drop of pleasure out of life. Wish you well, Andy, and hope the condition relents enough for you to retain the tanks. I'm sure they're a beneficial distraction.

Re: Down and out
I wish you the very best Mr Spartan.................your work is great, done with heart and genuine engagement.
But, if you have to make a choice, health before plastic/metal upgraded toy tanks ok
You'll be right mate, just a set back to be overcome and looked back on.

Re: Down and out
Look at this way Andy, how would selling your tanks improve your health? You need an interest in life, it's what keeps us all going, so if you keep them all on the shelf if gives you a reason to get up on a morning, an objective, and that is something that will keep your mind off the illness.

Re: Down and out
All the best for a speedy recovery Andy, we're all cheering you on from the sidelines here. I know how difficult chronic issues can make day-to-day life, let alone a hobby that requires lifting and long periods of sitting. I hope you'll still be able to take some enjoyment from your completed projects until you're well enough to get back to work on them.
