Another Lady Emma Update


Lady Emma and Der Alte Fritz, earlier this summer.

Thursday morning we will be visiting the surgeon who did the surgery on Lady Emma so that she can see how her patient is doing. It has been two weeks since the surgery and Lady Emma has been quite the trooper when it comes to staying in bed and laying on her back (for two weeks) with nary a complaint. The stitches seem to be doing their job and hopefully the surgeon will give us the OK to get out of bed and become a little more active.

There is not too much to report on the painting front, other than the completion of 21 more Suren SYW British Guards to bring that battalion up to 60 figures. A company of grenadiers will follow soon. I also primed 30 Elite Miniatures SYW British firing and loading. This will become the 12th (Napier's) Regiment of Foot, which was one of the Minden regiments.


Update: Thursday August 20, 2009

The doctor removed the stitches from Lady Emma's back and gave us the green light to return to a somewhat normal level of activity. Lady Emma is very happy to be liberated from laying down on the couch. We are going to take the royal hounds for a short stroll around the block now.

  5. That's wonderful news Jim! I know you and the lady Fritz are both thrilled (and probably exhausted), but I am proud of Lady Emma, she did indeed do herself proud. She could serve with my Guard Grenadiers at any time, would probably do the whiner's some good to have a role model!

    Take care and all the best to the Family,

  9. Wonderful news about Lady Emma's successful recovery - I hope you and your wife can take some time to decompress from the whole event.

    I'd like to second the request for another "Bear Game" - I have a 10 year niece who helps us make terrain and she loves the concept and wants to make her own army.

  11. Hi Jim,

    Thanks for the update. What a relief it must be all around! The artillery batteries of the Felsigberg will fire off a salvo in Lady Emma's honor for her courage.
