Model Armour

I'm back.

..okay, this will need an explanation

Until October 6th last years everything wen't along just fine, I had a Panzer III Ausf. G and a Panzer II Ausf.D1 (and I will finish this one in it's thread as soon as I have time) on the workbench, a couple of very nice presents (I will post them here..along with the christmas presents;)) and a nice birthday dinner.

Then, for a still not exactly defined reason, while getting out of bed I must have slipped, maybe a lack of iron in my blood, maybe a slight feeling of dizziness, knocked my head (yes, the very head I knocked against a lorry in grand style and to a near death experince and all that good stuff three years ago..not as if I had more than one..head that is..) against the nightstand, as evidenced by the rather impressive blood smear the paramedics found, and.. where am I going with this sentence again.. ah.. and I found myself surrounded by paramedics and totally incapable of coherent speech, despite beeing fully capable of coherent thought . Of all the scary stuff I had happen to me over the last three years this was one of the more disconcerting events.
Of course the whole near-death-and-actually-dead-for-a-couple-of-seconds-and-having-strange-memories-thing still beats it, but this is something for another thread should I feel the need to discuss it .
Luckily it didn't last and I had already regained speech (oh and, important for our little "scene", control of my bloody right hand which was completely limp) when I was in the ambulance.

Long story short: I have yet to regain complete sensorial control of the fingers of my right hand, though motor function is back at least, and I still don't really know what caused it, probably a hard knock against my not precisely intact left cranium is the cause.
I'm busy having it checked out. In the meantime university (oh and the cats..never forget the cats ) ate much of my time and the rest of potential modelling acivity was effectivly crippled by my fear of ..well.. beeing crippled .

Anyway... I think I should try and build something again.. after all I am capable of handwriting (just as ugly as usual, nothing new) so it should not pose a problem.

Sorry for the "dropping of the radar" manouvre everyone! .


Best regards

Ouch. Good to see you're back and on the road to recovery. Seems to be a common theme. One of my staff is off at the moment after knocking himself senseless Nothing as dramatic as your though

Gary

It's good to see you back...and recovering. Hell of a strange story!

Vinnie

Raoul, yikes! That is quite a story. Glad to hear you are on the mend and I am very happy to see that your sense of humor wasn't affected in any way.

Matt

Good to see you back Raoul! Dramatic stuff.I hope you recover allright.Should send you a helmet maybe

Blimey Raoul you don't mess about Glad to see you back and on the mend

Man, what a bad luck...or good luck, depends
I'm glad you has recovering. Enjoy modelling and...be carefull!

Darío

Raoul-
like Matt said, "Luckily your sense of humor was unharmed", But what a scare!

I hope you mend quickly and recover the feeling in your hand!
Get well Man!

Steve

Here I was thinking you we're just busy with university papers and lectures, not realising that something so serious had happened

It's good to hear you are on the mend

You could always start with a StuG? Something you know well

Andrew

Raoul - can only echo the above - Good to have you back

Scary moments - pleased you are recovering
(A Stug would be nice )
