EA-6A Revell Intruder 1/48 is my choice, I will also be watching Flight of the Intruder when I am building it.

The MPC issue but I promise not to use the "flame" decals.

Go on, you know you want to.

[Chris]

Domestic life has struck again.

Hey gang, just got back from the hospital last night after four days flat on my back.

Last Thursday I went to my Dr to follow up on getting rid of the flu I had and felt very weak. On arriving I could not sit up in the waiting room, and my blood pressure was 60 over 40 (its normally 120 over 70) so I was nearly comatose. I was severaly dehydrated and malnoushied. After trying to raise my BP by stuffing me with food and making me drink several liters of water, my BP would only rise to 80 over 60 so off to the hospital I was sent, the next day BP was hovering at 90-95 over 60 range. Also I had three IV bags of saline being pumped into me continually yet did not need to go to the bathroom, such was the dehydration level.

By day 2 on was sharing a room on the diabetic floor with an idiot, a fool who had all his toes amputated yet spent all day going out on his handicapped scouter buying junk food and soda and insisting on running an air conditioner dispite it being near freezing in NY. His other habits including watching TV late into the night with the volume quite hite, burping loudly and whining that he thought I smelled bad over and over. As no other rooms were available I had to put up with this juvinile behavior but it was annoying none the less.

It seems the infection I have so weakened me it brought on complications, my blood sugar level went from 6% (slightly elevated) to 14%(diabetes) in 2 months, making me a type two diabetic. This can be corrected with medication and eating right but it will take some time, but today I received all the materials needed and feel considerably better.

Yikes! That sounds like a very nasty experience Chris. Take it easy for a while.

Cheers

Andrew

[TobyC]

Not nice at all. Glad you're on the mend. A couple of mates are diabetic and now they're used to the injections and change of diet are as right as rain.

[Chris]

Thanks everyone.

I will try to build something soon, the mind is willing, the body is trying to catch up!

[JohnRatzenberger]

Thanks for the report, Chris, and hope you can get back on track.
Don't worry about the GB, staff will shepherd it along for you ....

[Chris]

I feel horrible I couldn't take part in a build I suggested and very much wanted to be part of.

Unfortunetly my condition had an effect on my eyesite, I can't see close up or distance, just a small window of vision. A visit to the eye doctor yesterday for new glasses, but this will not be ready till next week so I will miss this GB.

Again, sorry I couldn't take part gang.

[lancfan]

Don't worry Chris, there will be another day and another GB to join/run.

David.
