    We are currently having problems accessing orders in our web store which is run by Shopify. We receive notices that orders have been placed, but I cannot access them to print out labels and packing slips. I can do US orders from the information that is sent to us, but cannot complete non-US orders because I cannot access the customs information. Therefore, for now, we have blocked foreign orders from being placed on our website. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have questions, feel free to contact our office at: NRGhomeoffice@gmail.com Thank you, Mary Van Dahm NRG Office Manager

    AMEN to that! My first surgeon was a 'sports doctor' and had only done a few hip replacements. My second surgeon was a specialist who only works on hips and knees. He does over 500 hip surgeries a year and I don't remember how man knee replacements. Both of my doctors did the anterior approach, but with the infection in the first surgery and having to remove a lot of necrotic tissue, it took me months to recuperate from it. the 'divot' in my leg was almost big enough for me to fit my fist in it, and I have fairly large hands. I had to have therapy to learn how to walk and climb stairs again. I could only lift my leg an inch or so off the ground at first and my husband had to help me lift my leg off the ground and put it on the bed when I wanted to lay down. The second surgery was a breeze. I went home the same day and didn't need any physical therapy at all.

    I still have bad knees, so I'm keeping the cane for now, but I don't use it much anymore. Mostly to keep jerks from bumping into me (Shopping in grocery stores is hazardous to your health!)

    LOL! Yes, my recovery is going well - a lot better than my last hip surgery (right hip - 2022, which got infected and still gives me grief!) My current hip surgery (left hip) was done by a different doctor with a LOT more experience. I still have some mild pain, but nothing a Tylenol Extra Strength can't handle. I even went out to eat this week and didn't take my cane with me. Good news indeed! Thanks for asking! Mary "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better and better!" From a Pink Panther movie - but I don't remember which one.

      Hi Nimrod,

       

      For some reason I was not notified that you had sent another message.

      Do you want to pay by PayPal or do you want an invoice from our Shopify store (it takes credit cards, but not PayPal)?  Now that it's back up and running, I can do that.  I will need your real name and address so I can figure out the shipping cost.  The shipping will be around $20 - $25US.

      Thanks,

    The only problem with the pain pills is they make me fall asleep! I'm taking extra strength Tylenol during the day and I take something stronger when I go to bed or if the pain just gets to be too much during the day. I had problems with my knee before I had problems with my hip. I tore my left lateral meniscus many years ago. Most of the time it didn't bother me, but as the years went by it deteriorated more. They plan to do surgery on my knee eventually, but the hip had to be done first.

    Unfortunately, yes. My other knee is also bad, but not as bad. This one feels like someone is hitting my funny bone and won't stop. It's especially bad when I try to stand up.
  28. ferretmary1
    Yes, we are back open again, but I'm moving a bit slow, so please be patient. If I don't get to the phone fast enough, please leave a message, including your first and last name and your phone number, and I will call you back ASAP. Thank you! Mary

    If you have a problem accessing the digital Journal, please contact our office at NRGhomeoffice@gmail.com instead of posting it on MSW. We do not regularly scan MSW for comments or questions about our Journals. If you contact our office, we can try to help you within 48 hours. If you just leave a comment on MSW, it might be weeks before we see that you have a problem. Thank you!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
