Crap,
I'm sorry you have this. Just had some training on this disease. Guys, if he owes you something, let him get better first. Take care of yourself first, and finish the other stuff later. Get better soon. Ken |

Sorry to hear this, honestly I did not know this. Please take your time and take care of your health first and after you start to feel better (no rushing) it would be cool to see those emblems and a set of the wheels...
My RC car is slowly coming along too like my 914 If you need any help I would be glad to help out, remember I use to be a CNC machinist too many years ago before I went tool and die First priority is your health and than family....hang in there bro!! |

update:
On Friday I had 250ccs of fluid drained from my knee, and yesterday I had another 180 pulled off of the same knee. It seems to be doing the trick, and I'm working on getting the pain meds out of my system now and getting back into working on my projects. |

Hey Jim,
Give me a shout if you need anything. I haven't really been on FB that much. Use the cell instead. Hang in there bud. |

Last week started out with a scope and the doc showed me some pictures of what I look like on the inside. Not a pretty site. The little bit of intestines I have left have ulcers and are all gross looking.
The scope and antibiotics combo set off more inflammation and I wasn't able to walk all week, even after they pulled 270 cc's off of my right knee in the ER. I am still losing energy too quickly and keep fighting to do more than just hang out on the couch and watch movies. This morning I was so discouraged that I started typing up a for sale ad for my twin turbo project, but was stopped by my wife who adamantly disagreed and told me "NO! You need that car." |

missing my NY 914 in VA ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 1,338 Joined: 26-November 07 From: Oakton VA Member No.: 8,376 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region ![]() |
hey Jim,
Don't sell the car, your wife is right, plus you have done so much to it already, it would be tough to re-create once you have more strength. Let me know if there is anything I can do. |

Yeah Jim doesn't exactly shout out his health issues. Surprised to see this post but I understand why. Good to let everyone know what is going on. Especially those waiting on whatever emblem or rc wheel they ordered. Bottom line though is everyone here will gladly wait. Take care of yourself & the rest will happen. Your wife is a saint for putting up with you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Be glad to see you at Route if I can swing it next year. Just please stand downwind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . While you are a good friend. You have got the worst gas I have ever encountered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
Just take it easy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gint2.gif) |

I had to bump this... I have spent about 25% of the past 3 months in the hospital. Yesterday I spent 6 hours in the ER getting fluids with severe abdominal cramping.
While I thought I was improving, it was merely my super positive nature getting the best of me. as of my last doctor appointment I am a little over 20 lbs underweight and struggling to do basic things in life. I absolutely hate having to share personal health information, but I am serously trying to get these wheels done. I appologize for the things that I have no control over that were unforseen. I can try to come up with the money for those of you that are tired of waiting. All I've got is my car, but I could start parting it to make refunds. |

it was merely my super positive nature getting the best of me. And that positive attitude is doing you some extreme good right now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Keep fighting, everyone here is with you. It'll be bobcat season soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Anyone that can't wait for their RC wheels & needs a refund? I will cover it. Please do not bother Jim. I would prefer you wait for Jim to get better but in the event you can't. Let me know & I will get you your money from my own pocket (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Jim absolutely do not stress over the wheels! We are all here to help & ready to do whatever (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
