Long time no update. I’ve posted before about my health issues, and they’ve continued. I ended up on a med that slowed me way down and had me sleeping a lot. So for three months I worked on a couple of models without ever finishing one. A far cry from my best month where I finished over 20 models in one month. Long story short I finally put my foot down and stopped that med cold turkey and am now relatively clear headed. So today I finished one of those two models I’ve been working on and two other models in the queue.

Navy Data Processing (DP) Rate, USS Helena SSN-725 Crest, and USS Ohio SSBN 726 Crest are all now available.

The current queue.

Steroid shot to the hand helped a lot, I can close my hand into a fist again. Still stiff in the morning but at least it works again. Now I’m hoping it stays like this and I won’t need it cut.

2d Bn 10th Marines Crest is now available. This was number two in the queue but I’m waiting for customer feedback on the custom so I fit this one in. Lots of parts to that victorian helmet plate so the next update is probably going to be towards the end of next week.

So I’ve been to the eye doctor and hand surgeon, no good news from either. The edka knocked out my glucose control and of course I’m not able to use the same meds any more, so that’s what’s causing issues with my vision. The eye doctor wasn’t even able to get a stable prescription while I was there it was fluctuating so much. So I’ve got a new appointment in 3 months for that. Same basic issue with the hand, can’t cut with out of control glucose because it just won’t heal, so I got a steroid shot in the palm of my hand and I’m supposed to call when my glucose is better.

On the other hand, I’m about half way through the first model in the queue. Still need to make the lighthouse, quill, trident, and wreaths, and most of that is pretty simple. I’m doing a lot of leaning forward and squinting and it’s a lot slower but it’s going. So if you’re in the queue, I should be able to get you. I’ll be going back through my emails again and might re-order the queue a little bit to move up folks with deadlines approaching, but right now the only deadline I can think of off the top of my head is the second one in the queue and that one won’t be a problem to meet.

I’ll be posting a queue update later this evening.

Got brain fog and vision loss from this mess, still sleeping all day. They say the brain fog will last about 5 days or so but should clear on it’s own, for the vision they told me to ask my eye doctor. If you want to see what got me you can click here. And if you take an SGLT2 inhibitor you really should click it.

If you’ve got a model in the queue and you need it soon, you probably need to find another modeler. If you do, please let me know so I can remove it from the queue. If you’ve got time and want to wait, I’ll get back to it asap, but right now I can’t even see nodes so there isn’t much I can do about it. Eye doctor appt is in about a week.

If you’ve emailed me and you’re waiting for a reply, I’m sorry but I’m holding off until my mind is a little clearer before I clear the email backlog. But I will answer every email.
