Keep thinking of all those future Hook projects, man. You’ll be back at them in no time! [tup]
The recovery wasn’t as bad as I had feared, and the ear is healing very nicely. Finially the doc called with the biopsy report and all is well, that ends well. (Of course, I don’t joke about getting my “ears lowered” when talking about a haircut any more…)
I’ve been on the full roller coaster ride during the past 6+ weeks it has taken to go start to finish with this thing. Sometimes I was up and things were ok then in a flash my morale would tank, and I’d go into the depths of depresion. Sometimes I’d sit and just cry, afraid, lost, unsure, you know, what if … Even my unabashed love for modeling suffered. (Normaly, I’m always turning ideas and projects over in my head, as only a model maker does. That literally fell out of my life and is just now bubbling back up to the surface again.)
Then one day I mentioned it to a friend at work he said Oh, you talk to to So and So they both had the samething. (You could have knocked me over with a feather.) Then at our season opener (my other hobby is Civil War reenacting) I mentioned it again, and a bunch of people told me about friends and relitives, et al, who had the samething. Slowly, I found out I wasn’t alone. (Still scared, but not as badly.)
So hang in there and be of good cheer, you’ve got a lot of friends on these boards who are pulling for you… In fact I’d say they are a cut above the usual folks! (Sorry, a little surgical humor… I can’t resist a straight line either… I’m hopeless.)
So, like I said, hang in there, we’re not alone…our situtatuion is pretty normal after all (even for model builders.) Oh, and thanks for your kind thoughts!
Best Regards,
Chuck
