Title: A Shipyarder is down
Post by: Tamer on October 03, 2009, 12:46:02 PM
Just recieved this message from Jay:

This is Lees Wife Natasha, I was letting you know that he was put in the Hospital 3 days ago, He was on scaffolding when the plank broke and he fell 2 levels to the ground. He back is messed up pretty bad and they think he needs surgery to repair the damage.

Just what is it with us Shipyarders hurting thier backs, last year me, these past few months Devin, and now DS-61-2 (Lee).

Guy, I sure hope you get to a computer so you can see this, but we here at the Shipyards are hoping you can heal up and get back into the forums.

Hello everyone I am back on the yards thank you guys for all of your support I am still in alot of pain and   having to get used to being  in a wheel chair is kind of deppressing at the moment, all my daughter does is ask me why I can't do things its rough but I will pull through this I hope. I am going to be in and out of the yards off and on till I am off some of my meds they just wipe me out but without them is not an option. You guys here are some of the best friends, no FAMILY a man can ask for although we are miles or countries apart. I will try and post some pics in my threads just be a little slow about it at first,

Thank you, I am glad to be back I like the TIE's myself ordered the new version based on the shadows of the Empire comic today so waiting on those, and still trying to find the AT-ST that should have been out already and the ROTJ wave of figs, anybody have any news on those.

I'm talking electric wheelchair with onboard laptop PC with external power supply and wi-fi access, Spinner's on the rims, ground effect lighting underneath... the works!

 glad to know your feeling better.  We'll see if I need a wheel chair after tomorrow!

Glad to see a fellow WV boy is on the mend. Keep after it!
Title: Re: A Shipyarder is down
Post by: spudafett on October 28, 2009, 09:21:19 PM
man take it slow... I've discovered that the hard way.  Last weekend I overexerted myself and pulled a muscle in my leg.  I realy wished they'd had me on a physical therapy routine after surgery because my muscles have gotten realy lax and are not used to walking correctly and for prolonged periods...

if your like me though, you'll find that the handicapped parking pass is the best part of the deal ;) lol... like any of it is realy good.....

good luck man

Hey Lee, how are you doing?  Any better?  Any worse?
Title: Re: A Shipyarder is down
Post by: DS-61-2 on October 29, 2009, 07:10:53 PM
not better and not worse, I am in physical therapy 2 times aweek and I know it is meant to help me but it hurts me so bad I am down for the rest off the week in time to do it again I hope I can get used to it soon if not I do not know what to do.thanks for asking man means alot
Title: Re: A Shipyarder is down
Post by: Clonehead on October 29, 2009, 07:15:47 PM
I have been off work for 3 weeks now and my muscles are starting to atrophy. When is your next physical therapy session, Lee. I need to go with you.

Keep your chin up, my man. I'm sure it's tough but it's supposed to be tough and get easier with time.
Title: Re: A Shipyarder is down
Post by: Phatty on October 29, 2009, 07:20:30 PM
Well, we are definitely concerned.  That's one serious injury you have there, and we wish the best for you.

Title: Re: A Shipyarder is down

I can only imagine.  Just don't overdo it, and do what you DO do at your own pace!
Title: Re: A Shipyarder is down
Post by: DocOutlands on October 31, 2009, 02:18:04 PM
I'll prolly break *my* back AND ruin the roof Monday.  Assuming it doesn't rain before Monday afternoon, I need to either slather tar, add shingles, hang a tarp, or some combination of the three.

As Jay had posted in his custom figures threads, Lee had contacted him and told him that medical bills had him in a bind and as a result, he was selling off the customs that jay had made for him, including this one which is my favorite.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2665/4202185238_d594dde6c5_m.jpg)

Remember that Jay is the youtube custom guru, Rasputin37, whose custom astromechs are legend among collectors and here is your chance to own one of your very own.

Let's give our buddy Lee a hand and see if we can't get his auctions some bids.

Here is a link to the U.S. ebay version of those auctions
Lee's wraithnine-built customs (http://shop.ebay.com/gothicamommy/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25#item35a5ca1d9b)

Post by: Tamer on December 20, 2009, 07:43:34 PM
I hate to think that medical bills mean someone has to give up thier SW collection. Daggone life is hard sometimes. Lee I hope you are getting back to feeling at least a bit better. We are pulling for you.

protocol droid is all that's left, it's got a day to go.

I wonder what the astro droids went for.



hoping it helps him out some with the bills, it's really crappy to read about.  :(

the astromechs went for $10, $11.02,$10,$11.53, and the crimson stormies with Luminara went for $25.12
I wish that he could have made the auctions last longer, we could have hyped em up a little more.

I missed the end of all the auctions by an hour or so  :(    I was going to bid on 1 of them but I couldn't.
