mbp521 Posted January 21 #904 Posted January 21 Beautiful work, as always Keith! Now the real fun begins. Not sure if I mentioned this or now before, but rigging is one of my favorite tasks. Something about it just brings me joy seeing all the lines come together on a ship. Of course snagging them while I work and almost dragging the boat off the bench, tends to quell some of that joy, as well as bring out a few expletives, but it’s all part of it. Looking forward to seeing the shroud progress. -Brian Dave_E, mtaylor, Keith Black and 3 others 5 1 Quote Current Builds: Completed Builds: Mississippi River Towboat Caroline N.

Keith Black Posted February 19 Author #913 Posted February 19 Mark, Keith, Gary. and Rob, thank you for the comments and support.........it's going to be awhile before I get back to the Tennessee. Tuesday, the 6th of February, at 2:15 PM my dear Maggie had a critical stroke. Her heart threw a blood clot to her brain due to a irregular heartbeat. Fortunately I had just gotten home and I knew immediately she'd had a stroke, the ambulance had her to the Jackson hospital by 2:35 PM. She received a tPA shot at 4:30 PM while on the transport gurney to be care flighted to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor for emergency brain surgery to remove the clot. It was touch and go for awhile but thank God she made it through surgery, then three days in ICU and four days in the stroke ward. The left side of her body was affected but she didn't suffer any mental issues, again, thank you Lord! She was then transferred to the Kresge Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Chelsea where she is going through therapy to learn to swallow liquids and regain the use of her left fingers. She is expected to be there at least a month before she can come home. Please pray for Maggie and myself, thank you Keith Thukydides, ccoyle, Knocklouder and 9 others 3 9 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

Keith Black Posted February 19 Author #928 Posted February 19 To Bob, Pat, Glen, Brian, Eberhard, Andrew, Keith, Tom, JJ, Roel, Dave, Ryland, Chris, and Keith, a huge thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and well wishes. My MSW family is a blessing, every interaction brightens my day. To answer Eberhard's question regarding Maggie's surgery..... they tried to find a vein to her heart first through the groin, then her arm, and lastly her wrist. They were able to remove 100% of the blood clot without any bleeding of the brain from the surgery. The surgery was a complete success, modern medicine is absolutely amazing! Guys, never pass up the opportunity to give your wife a hug and tell her that you love her. They are the most precious thing in our life because they make life bearable, without them we are nothing. ccoyle, Knocklouder, mbp521 and 12 others 15 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration
