My Apology Gentlemen

[Crop Duster]

Sorry gentlemen for not having posted here for sometime, my plans to carve some aircraft has come to a short delay. While I could tell you all I have a medical problem at present and leave it at that would be unfair, plus it helps me to talk about it hence I worry less. Since joining this group I have read many of your postings and looked at your models and in some small way I think I've slowly got to know most of you and to days email I received saying 'we have missed you at Hip Pocket Builders' Forum' has me posting why I've not been contributing.
I was involved in a serious work accident back in 1988 that left we with a serious spinal injury and a walking disability. After several years of feeling sorry for myself because I was unemployable my wife 'Carole' and I brought a 30 acre bush property approx an hours drive from Rockhampton in Qld. From here Carole runs our Bookkeeping Business and I hobble about the property doing this and that at my own speed and making friends with our native wildlife. 
I trust you all don't think I'm being flippant about what I'm about to text but in all honesty I am bloody scared and making light of the current problem and being honest about it does help me a little.
For the last two years I've been treated for an over active thyroid gland that among many of the problems I had to face was one of the shakes that greatly embarrassed me. With extra medication added to the list I already have they are now under control. For several weeks I'd been having headaches and while sitting at the computer checking aircraft images several weeks ago I suddenly found myself being sick for no reason at all.
A CT Scan of me head a few days later has indicated that I have a sizable mass in the left side of me brain. At first I didn't believe the quack, other than an empty space I'd always believed was in me head it appears that they have found some thing that is the cause of me headaches. Tomorrow Carole and I have to go into the city to make arrangements for a MIR Scan that will tell my specialist what the problem is.
Well Gentlemen, again I apologise for not being active within the forum and when me current problem is sorted out I will be using your many tips and ideas for model making. I will try and keep you all informed as to current problem and if unable Carole has my details for the forum and I've asked her to keep you all informed. From my home in the bush to you all, have a great Christmas and we hope the New Year brings you all that you wish for. Our only Daughter is coming home for Christmas and we gunna have a great time.
Cheers All.
Regards Crop Duster (Kevy).

No apology required. Sorry to hear about your difficulties. We are mostly senior people and all have our crosses to bare. I for one do not have any problems with anyone else leaning on this group for moral support. I wish you luck and a quick return.

Lou has expressed my sentiments accurately. We all wish you well. And again no apology is expected. As Lou has said, "We are mostly senior people and all have our crosses to bare."  This idea is really true so definitely feel free to talk or post anytime you like. It really does seem to have its own benefits.
