Back from rehab
« on: August 20, 2008, 04:28:57 pm »

Hi folks, just want to pop in and say Hello as I have succesfully finished my rehab after my brainstroke. All physical harms are now made up to nearly 90%, including the sensitivity in my left hand. First I feared that could never use her again for modeling or just for some raw hammer-jobs. So, scale 1:100 is not given up and with a little training I will be back.

Are still some of the old lads here or did they pass away, leave, logged out or whatever?  :o

Happy modeling,
Jörg

Hi Jörg
Glad to hear of the improvement to your health and nice to have you back with us.

There are a few of us who haven't yet passed away, though I've come close a couple of times. ;)

Will be good to have the voice of sanity back with us again. O0

Hi there Jörg - glad to see you are back safe and well.    Keep on modelliing - because I have been told by specialists after my mishap - that modelling and using your hands/arms for this is one of the best therapies.     

So we expect to see a lot of postings on here from you and with a lot of model  O0 O0 O0

Welcome back Jörg. If you are functioning at 90% capacity then you are doing better than most of us!

As Bluebird says, modelling with all the hand/eye co-ordination it involves is one of the best therapies you can have.

OK, so you may stick the funnel underneath the keel a couple of times but what the hell.....?!  ::)

Welcome back!

Never had contact with you before but it is nice to hear you are ok.

As an ad-lib, can you imagine the list he has of 'unread posts since last visit' and 'new replies to your posts'. Blimey!

Thanxalot folks.....-*faceturnred*.... never thought that so many remember me after all the senseless posts, jokes, comments.... ::)

Modeling indeed is a good therapy. Just to get my fingers into training I`ve had taken one of my small 1/10 buggies with me, switched the R/C on and done races on my own on the tenniscourt at rehab.
One of the docs asked me, if this is my hobby. I answered him: "Nope, thats a new therapy to do training for my fingers. Turning the knob on the colt-transmitter seems to me more helpfull than 100 therapists who want me to turn nuts on bolts".
Bet you can imagine his face. One week later my therapist explained in the meeting, that my sensitivity in the left hand had become much better. The doc turned around and asked me, if he may have a try with that little buggy. He smashed it twice in the bushes and I told him nicely that this is the slower version of my big-scale-car, doing75 mph.
"Then we should write you this on your daily timesheet", he answered and from that day I had "Sensitivity training" every day on my timetable, from 15.00 til 15.45.  ;D ;D ;D

Welcome back. Im glad to hear you are ok and back in modeling. You know it helps to get your blood pressure down to less than 140/90 for the stroke risk :)

Welcome back Jörg, if it was anything like my rehab, you will be tired of balancing on weird and wonderful bits of apparatus, but it's worth it in the end. :P   Here's to you being back to 100% in no time  O0 O0

Mike- it was that kind of! Balancing-training on ropes, which are on the floor, walking in machines, sensitivity-training for the fingers, had to learn to speak again.... but still got some difficulties with concentration and short-period-memory... (have to look in my passport to find out who I am... :D )

Anyway- back to the real thing: modeling! It might sound strange, but it helped me to survive anyway.

And nope- have to disappoint you all: the nurses had been..... hmmmmmm.......... fuhgeddaboudid!  :P

Happy modeling,
Jörg

No just what you mean there Jörg, I found it very frustrating when I started talking to someone only to forget halfway through what was the subject I was talking about  >:( and have to tail off into silence. At least now I can remember - but get told to shut up instead  {-)
Onward and upward as they say
