Barbarians - WIP

[jimduncanuk]

Hope you're on the mend!

The earliest I can be considered non-infectious is about now but to be sure it will be next weekend.

Functionally I need to be able to tell the difference between 9.9 mm and 10.1 mm.

Still having to take painkillers and I speak to neighbours throw a window.

[Techno]

No, Jim.....Don't throw windows. 
Seriously....Hope you feel better soon, Matey ! 
Cheers - Phil.

[FierceKitty]

No, Jim.....Don't throw windows. 
Seriously....Hope you feel better soon, Matey ! 
Cheers - Phil.

Hey! You're stealing my schtick!

[jimduncanuk]

Damn Autotext

[Techno]

What with wretched 'predictive text' and whatever painkillers you're on, Jim......it says something that you managed to post at all.

Co-codamol.

I was very attached to my Kindle and the internet via my mobile phone WiFi hotspot during my isolation as it was the only thing keeping me sane. Four concrete walls soon get you down, just ask Johnny Cash.

Also, in general, I blog my hobby life so it has become second nature no matter how sh*t I feel.

[Techno]

Oh dear......

If you're taking 'full strength' co-codamol...and you're not used to them.....You're going to feel a teeny bit 'spacey'/ zonked out.

My 'body system' is so used to the number I take now, they don't do anything other than dull my back-ache....(Which IS good  ).
My better half currently has a trapped nerve in her neck.....If she takes ONE, to relieve the pain she feels a bit 'high'.

Again...Get well soon, Matey !

Cheers - Phil

[Ithoriel]

I'll take spaced-out on co-codamol over shut down by temazepam any day - have been both in my time, though not simultaneously!! Neither are conducive to a regular painting regime.

My co-codamol is 30/500, which I understand is full strength and I'm allowed 8  a day.

Fortunately my pain is sporadic and I'm getting by on fewer.

[Techno]

That's good.

I take 8 every day. 
Haven't tried temazepam.....Though we've got lots in the house. (For Mrs T when she was suffering from her gall bladder problems......and one of the now deceased dogs. EXACTLY the same pills !.......Weird thing is, that the effect on people is far more dramatic than on dogs......As 'I' says, it's 'shut down' time for folk.....Hardly made 'Seamus' dopey at all.)

That's enough junkie talk !.....But we'll just have to wait for Jim to feel better......It IS his topic !

Cheers - Phil

In the same way most threads seem to 'progress' on here

Hang in there Jim

Threads progress through change just like life itself. It doesn't bother me.

In summary, I am a little bit better today, only two co-codamol so far.

The Barbarians I was doing are at the point where they need a little bit more focus than I can manage at the moment.

I did file the bases of the High Elf cavalry breaking four of the lance heads doing so. I've drilled and replaced them with a bit of wire and have now undercoated them.

Time to start relaxing again.

[paulr]

Well said Jim
Good to hear your a bit better and making progress

Still a bit under the Weather, still having to take painkillers.

Splashed a bit of paint about but concentrating on bases and sabots as it is easier.

Have managed to wean myself off co-codamol and onto ibuprofen, temperature is fine but am still feeling 's**t'. I sleep a lot, drink lots of fluid, food when I can. More blood tests tomorrow.

Tomorrow also sees the start of week 3 of this episode.

On the plus side I have managed to paint a few figures albeit very slowly, maybe about a tenth of my normal production rate.

[Techno]

Whatever you're suffering from, Jim.
Hope it goes as soon as.......

Sounds pretty damn grim ! 

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ditto

[fsn]

Get better soon.

Wot Techno said

[jimduncanuk]

Whatever you're suffering from, Jim.

Severe gastroenteritis they say caused by the adenovirus.

At least that was last weeks assessment.

Tomorrows blood test might say something different.
