explanation of my current sig. (the health issues), trying to catch up on the little wheels and bodies and emblems Options

[RJMII]

As several of you already know, I have Crohn's disease. This has led to many bowell resections, multiple abcess clean-ups, and more swollen joints than I would care to count. It has almost cost me my life multiple times, and I currently have just over 90cm of intestines. I've also had to deal with a certain failed medical device that also almost cost me my life, and I even had the pleasure of watching as my intestines ruptured through an open incision.

Over the weekend for RRC I had my energy budgeted out for activities to ensure that I would be able to participate without over doing it. This went along great until the way home when the little trailer I had with my engine on it blew a tire in the middle of nowhere. It added 3.5 hours of work to my day in driving time and tire changing time.

The effect this, and another possible infection, have had on me: I lost 12 pounds over the weekend. (I am 6'1", and dropped to 132). If I am unable to regain the weight it will mean another central line (translates to big friggin IV under my collar bone pointed right at my heart) that they will provide me with TPN (translates to white milky substance that will assist in nutrition that my body requires and is unable to acquire through diminished natural resources)

Currently I am only able to partially walk/hobble, as my right knee has began to become slightly puffy again, and my right hip is showing similar simptoms.

I absolutely refuse to give up; and I will finish the orders that have already been placed. I feel the need to make sure and communicate this as I do not wish to see a thread open up complaining about me when one of my main goals in life is to do honest business in all of my business transactions. When I took on the new tasks of wheels and emblems, my health was at a point where I could accomplish these adventures. It will return again, it fluctuates through-out the year.

There are a couple of emblems that I sent out that I wish to replace as well, and have promised replacements. These are still going to happen, I am working on them as time and energy allow.

There has been progress on the wheels; I made prototype 4 and had it at RRC. The 3d version is coming along quite nicely and I am really enjoying the opportunity to make these. I appreciate the pre-orders that helped fund the venture and R&D. A picture should be posted soon in the wheel thread, it's on my FB page and I need to add it to the thread on the wheels.

if the belongs in the sandbox; would an admin kindly relocate it for me? It has some content, but mostly about me and my issues.

I wasn't aware of your health issues, but you've got your priorities right. Take care of yourself and we'll be patient.
