Reason for my absence and the future of my return

[Joe Hudson]

Hey guys,

As you know I have not been posting much and I had hope to get busy soon. The problem is that, some of you know but most don't is that for the last several months I have been dealing with a bad left shoulder. I injured it some time back but about 2 1/2 months ago it actually froze up on me. I have been in some really bad pain until the doctor gave me some injections and helped relieve it. I have had 3 knee surgery's and a shoulder surgery but none of them compared to the pain of this one. I then started on some aggressive Physical Therapy but it did not fully help it. I have some movement back in the arm and have been trying to get some work done but not as productive as I would have hoped to be. I just returned from the doctors and I will have shoulder surgery on Dec 17th and then I hope to finally get back to the way I was before.

Thanks,

Joe

I hope you get better soon, Joe!
It would be a shame if this affects your hobby.

I've had similiar physical problems too that have kept me away from the planet and painting so I understand the frustration of not being able to do anything as you once could. I hope your surgery this month takes care of it for you. I find out Friday what is planned, surgery wise for me.

Hang in there Joe and have a good and fast recovery.

Surgery....I cringe at that word now. Hope all goes well for you Joe and it's a success. Godspeed on your recovery.

Good Luck Joe, and we hope to see you here again painting with your repair shoulder again

I hope you are feeling better now, Guy?

I only got previous Saturday ruined from what turned out to be a kidneystone. Not serious but hurt enough to keep me from painting.

Joe,
We wish you well and will place you on our Churches Prayer list for a successful operation and recovery. Guy is already on the list.
Joe, Maybe you caught this off of John Long as he has been having shoulder problems

Well on the plus side this sounds like a fairly standard conversion. Just cut off the arm with the shoulder, pick out and glue a new one on.(I'm sure you have an extra arm lying around somewhere) Add a little putty and viola. Plus once you are fully converted into a cyborg you can paint/sculpt 24/7

But seriously all the best I know how a debilitation can affect one, and wish you a speedy recovery!

Take care,
Joe

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts and prayers. I am hoping it goes well. I did have a slight drawback but hopefully will find out soon if it is all ok. I went to have an EKG for my surgery but it turned out abnormal so I just got back today from having a stress test. If and hopefully I did ok , the surgery will take place as planned but if I have a problem with the ticker I have to find out all about that first.

Thanks again,

Joe

Im fine now. Seems like there are no more stones left according to the scan. And as I heard many other stories about it I think I got off easy.

Cheers
