Thank you all for the kind words and concern. The surgery went well. The tumors turned out to be more invasive than first thought. This caused the surgery to last nearly 2 hours longer than anticipated. Thankfully the biopsy showed the tumors to be benign. Recovery is going more slowly than was first thought. My post op appointment will be tomorrow and I am hopeful they will remove all the stitches. Won't be long now before I can stand to wear the Opivisor and get back to the shipyard!

Kindest regards,

Eddie

 

P.S. Took a picture of my stitches. I hope no one finds them too upsetting.

Surgery is no fun.  Boat building is.  Glad it went well and you’re back.

Thank you all for the well wishes. Recovery is slow but constant. Feels really weird having my right eat and jaw line numb like I just came from the dentist. Docs say most of the feeling will return in the next 6 months to a year. Being a paraplegic with no feeling from the waist down I really don't need any other dead spots on this old bod of mine! :o  :D

 

I did get a small amount of work done. Rudder is mounted so no more "drifting in circles with the tide". Plenty of mistakes but that is what happens when a novice shipwright is commissioned to build a ship! :D

To all who knew Eddie

 

I am very sad to report that Eddie passed away earlier in December.  Please join me in sadly offering his family our condolences.   Eddie was a wonderful model builder and will be missed on MSW.

 

Rest in Peace Eddie!!!

Eddie often spoke with his son and talked about MSW.

His son Christian took the time responding to my message to Eddie.

I want to share this one sentence with you all.

 

We spoke often and he'd talked about all the advice and help he'd got from MSW "people all over the world, with this damn lil ship." I thank you all for that.

Best Wishes

Christian Jordan

 

Rest in peace Eddie.

Perhaps it would be a nice gesture if someone nearby finished the ship for them as a present to the family?

Regards, Keith
