Wounded In Action - Going On Medical Leave


General Forbes is wounded near Fort Duquesne. Diorama at Fort Ligonier.

I will be undergoing surgery tomorrow to fix my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right wrist. I am sure that there will be a certain amount of post operation discomfort for a few days and I don't know how soon I will be allowed to type, paint or pack figures. Hopefully, I won't be out of action for more than a week.

This will be a good thing in the long run as CTS can be very painful and discomforting and the surgery has a high success rate. We shall see.

Blogger won't seem to let me edit the picture or add captions. So the top picture depicts General Forbes being carried in a litter after being wounded near Fort Duquesne. The bottom picture depicts the officers mess at Fort Ligonier. Both pictures were taken at Fort Ligonier in 2013.

    Good luck with the operation, also diagnosed with CTS and arthritis early this year, not the best for painting. Got the Austrian artillery thanks. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    The procedure is done and other than a dull throb in the wrist, I'm ok and resting. I'm working my way thru my collection of historical movies, watching Kelly's Heros and the Great Escape today. I'll watch Waterloo and The Duelists tomorrow.
