Illness and current work

Post by Mike Stannard (toyrific) »

Hi Guys

About 10 days ago the left side of my face started to swell and has become more swollen and painful by the day. I have continued to work through this until yesterday when I had to go see the doctor, it appears I have a effected glands which is very painful and limits the movement of the jaw, I am on a soup diet at the moment. I am now taking medication for the infection and pain and have been advised by the doctor to stay at home as the medication can have effects on my judgement and driving skills. Today I took the chance and went to my workshop to take pictures of where my production is at the moment, I figured I owed my customers an explanation why I will not be able to ship promised orders for a few days. I have a follow-up appointment with the doctor in six days by when I hope I will be well again.

While house bound I will complete the instructions for the Feifil Units which will take a few days as there are 59 pictures in the instructions and will be between 10 and 12 pages.

Mike,

I'm sorry to hear of (and see) your discomfort.

Please take the time off to make full recovery, so that you can return in full health and good spirits. I'm sure we would all rather wait a little while than think of you struggling to fulfill orders at this time.

Adrian.
