Thanks for the well wishes guys. I'm finally home from the hospital and with my family. Right now my arm is in an external fixator and we're hoping that my elbow won't be fused. It was shattered in the explosion. I still have a long way to go but hope to be modeling again soon Thanks again for the well wishs guys. (++)
