I see Grumpy Old Man is back.(welcome!)
cheers.

Thanks Rick, nice to be back, but in a rather limited manner.
Although I am up and walking, the leg still swells, and been told this is going to happen for a while, so after my daily walks in the mornings, and evenings, I need to lay down with the leg elevated for an hour or two to get the swelling down. Same thing happens after prolonged sitting, so I really only get an hour or so at the site, or modelling, then back to raise the leg. At least the only real pain I have now, is the arthritis, and when that starts, it puts a catch 22 in my life. The walking inflames the arthritis, making the walking extremely painful, but if I don't walk, I'll develop more blood clots.......
So I do aplogize to everyone for sometimes not being my usual upbeat and cheerful self.
Oh to be youthful again...... :-) :-) :-)

Spend last weekend at TamiyaCon with StaffJim and Spades. Jim's voice was a little husky but all in all he seemed worlds better since the 'collapse' and hospital visit. I'm sure he'll respond when e sees this query. ...he took hundreds of photos at TamCon!
Chees,
