Layout Construction To Continue

Sounds like a plan Bob!

 

Brad

Glad your feeling better, but more importantly, let's see that new layout!

 

I remember your room pictures-the Steelers theme will look great. 

 

Just kidding you, keep us posted.

Ouch!!!  10' fall.

 

Glad you're now healthy and getting to work on the layout.  I liked your earlier photos of the train room nee home office.

Great news Bob!

But I think you're still a bit loopey.

Hammer for demolition, drill for construction.

Glad you to can join the new lay-out bunch now that you are feeling better, I fell from a six footer several years ago and my shoalder hurt for a number of months. I know no fun. Welcome back to construction.

I'm glad you're going to be able to get going again.

Just remember not to over do it! You most likely will be using muscles that haven't been taxed in some time......

Glad to hear you are well and able! Just take it easy! No point in over doing it! The job will get done and look great. We look forward to seeing all your pictures.

Bob, I had no idea. I'am happy to hear that you are feeling well and and have found the motivation to get you going. Look Out Trains Bob in the house…. People….. I have seen this man drive a tenpenny nail WITH ONE SWING OF THE HAMMER…..  All kidding aside Bob. Take it slow and easy or you'll be watching TV again……..

I know what you've been going through.  Last winter I blew out my left knee meniscus and had to have it scoped and do physical therapy. This winter I slipped on ice and landed on my left shoulder, didn't break anything but tore up the rotator cuff to shreds.  Had to have surgery in December and cut it open to fix it the best they could, again lots of physical therapy still ongoing.  While climbing up steps my right knee meniscus blew out and had that one scoped too in February.  Hoping to get back to work in another month or so but it'll be a while before I'll be able to work on the layout to either kneel down on the layout or under it. Coming along slowly but glad to hear you're doing much better.  What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.  Take care my friend!

Gary, you and I need to get together and compare battle scars.  Two knees, one hip, both corneas, lots of miscellaneous repairs and a bunch of joints that only half work the way they're supposed to.  Bob

Well, let's see. Broke my right hand (boxer's fracture), Crushed my left hand (still works), gall bladder, both cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis (hurts like the devil), broke left big toe, cracked my head open helping my wife who was trying to get out of bed (long story), and a basilar artery aneurism (brain) and I survived. Every day is a great day.

Glad you are on the mend and able to enjoy the hobby again!

Bob,

I am glad you are recuperated enough to get back to work on the layout!!

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!

Boy, I ant sain who but a couple of you guy's sound like you both should be spoon fed buy a young nurse…………. Maybe a sponge bath. And put to bed……….

Glad you are feeling better Bob.  I look forward to seeing the photos of your layout progress.

Falling off a ladder is no joke. Glad you're "back on track" so to speak. Try not to over-exert yourself because you're still healing.

Can't wait to see your progress, Bob. Do it in moderation as you much as you can pain free.

OUCH   stay off those ladders!!, never did like climbing them

Pace yourself BOB.  Good luck in your endeavor.

Matthew:  I've tried that.  I just can't pound the nails with a drill.  Is there a secret I'm missing?  

It's wonderful to return to the layout you know...but as others have said just take it easy and don't push too hard.

Good for you!!!!

I feel your 'pain'........minor foot surgery has me stalled on my layout.

Been doing small project at my model desk.......but no heavy work or walking.

But it has made me motivated to get some real work done as soon as Doc lets me get back on my feet.......

Congrats! Be careful!

I've busted myself up so many times I think I've lost track ( no pun intended)! Shortly before my 5th birthday 2 teenagers dumped a basket of leaves over my head from behind,  jerked my head to avoid leaves I snapped the C1 vertebrate & stretched C2-6.  X-rays in 1963 @ local hospital never showed break so 3 months in foam collar did nothing.  Finally sent me to Rochester Hospital that new X-rays showed break.  But it had already healed itself to my spinal cord.  2 months in traction to correct C2-6 but doctors decided as long as no paralysis not to mess with C1. Wore a hard plastic collar for 7 years. 2 years after getting collar off got in a bad bicycle accident and went over handlebars.  Heard a voice saying " cover your head with your hands", I hit the road with my feet, knees,  hands, & back. Sprained both ankles, ripped up both knees, broke both hands & wrists but didn't do any damage to my head, neck, or spine. The hands on my head took the impact saving my life. I was stabilized at the local hospital & shipped to Rochester to see the head surgeon who headed up my earlier injury.  He came in after seeing the X-rays and said he couldn't believe I didn't break my neck. I told him I heard a voice about putting the hands on my head & there was nobody there. He said luckily for you the man upstairs decided it wasn't your time so I thank God every day I'm still alive and walking,  if I made it through all that & other stuff too I'll make it back from this stuff, back to work and back to the layout.  I wish you all good health and never take a day for granted.  God Bless You All!
