| As from Monday I will be missing from the Forum for at least three weeks. I am going into hospital to have a fairly major operation. Roadrunner (Aron) will be looking after you while I'm away.

| Hi Swab - I'll be quite near your sailing water as I'm going to be in the The Royal Orthopedic Hospital in Northfield. Don't think I'll get any sailing though  Barrie | |

| Well, the 3 weeks turned into 8+ and unfortunately the operation was not a success so I have many more weeks or months of trying to get mobile again. Currently can only shuffle along with a gutter frame.
I will be dipping into the forum occasionally, but no building or sailing for me.

| Hi Swab - no. About 6 weeks there then I got a transfer to my local re-hab hospital about 7 miles away. Made life much easier for the family.

| Well yesterday I actually went into my workshop for the first time since January  I didn't do anything but just getting there was an achievement. For quite some time I thought it would not be possible, but I did it. I still cannot walk without a frame, but at least I can now negotiate steps  I hope to restart making again soon. I have two ideas. Firstly I bought a Mantua Capri just before I went into hospital, secondly I have long wanted to build one of Dave Milbourn's Fairey Marine designs, so I may buy one of those kits from SLEC - watch this space!

| Thanks to all for the good wishes.
Sorry to hear of your problems David - hope you can get the mojo back. It is pretty miserable when you don't feel like doing anything as I found out.
