Update

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.

I’m out of the hospital

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.

Apologies

I’m sorry if you emailed me and haven’t received a response, or if you’re waiting for a model. I’m stuck in the icu, don’t know when I’m getting out. Just sick as he’ll.

Two New Models Added

Southwest Regional Maintenance Center Crest and Patch are now available.

The current queue is below, but there’s going to be a delay in that due to a design change in a badge I put out recently. The manufacturer ran into challenges with the design for the USCG Response Ashore Badge. It was a cool design but when you look at the overlapping different metals it really would be tough to make cost effectively. So I’ll be remaking that one then continuing with the queue.

Delays

Unfortunately I’ve got medical issues going on that are slowing me down again. The first two models in the queue are almost done, barring any calls from doctors to go do things they’ll be up tomorrow, then I’ll continue plugging away as I can.

CD Backups No Longer Available

I don’t know if this is permanent, but the vendor that was providing the cd backups has stopped so that option is no longer available. If FastSpring finds another vendor for that I’ll make it available again.
