Oh, i have to see this one ... and the others ... in person

Matchlock · 6th October 2013, 06:14 PM

And you will be the first one to do so, 'Nando, my dear friend!

Given the fact that I am still extremely weak and have to rest in bed a good deal of the day, plus considering the oncoming winter, I think next spring would be an ideal season to see me and the real stuff.

What do you think? By then I wiill have returned from rehab exercise and will hopefully be much better off ...

Best wishes,
Michl

Michael
You should know that you have a mission here and you are not allowed to disappear for a so long time! After a secret vote From the members had been decided some penalties against you ,the situation is critic we should have more than 2000 threads today but today we are still under the 1500 so you must urgently increase your productivity so all of us are expecting your full collaboration in order to solve this problem.
More seriously I hope you a full and fast recovery and very happy to see you back.

all the best !

Hi Jean-Luc,

Thank you for your inspiring words! If it had not been for people like you who show that they really care I might not have had the strength to make my 'comeback'.

Still, as I said, all the tiny everyday things are very hard for me to cope with and I have to go on rehab as soon as possible.

Best,
Michael

Alles Gute und hauptsachlich viel Gesundheit!!!

Liebe Grusse aus der Slowakei,

Back from hell - and gone again!

While all you nice fellas keep giving me strength I definitely feel that I am way too weak to make my day at home. I live single. As I told you I cannot properly walk or eat, I presently weigh only 70 kg at 1,86 m height ...I'm going back to hospita,l trying to get to rehab from there.

Hope to be able to really come back and post again by November or December.

Thank you all so much, you are in my heart, you are the main reason for me to carry on! I mean it!

Best wishes, till soon,
Michael

Hi Michael, I have read your post over and over again, so much wisdom

Being relatively new on this forum we never had the chance to meet or speak, but my admiration on your work is non the less beyond words.

I due time i will poost some pictures which might be to great interest to you (such as a breechloading chamber for a wheel lock containg the pan and pancover as well, a breechloading chamber for a swifel cannon etc).

For now, welcome back and a speady recovery my new found friend.
