That is really well done! It's been ages since I last saw that film, looks great to me

Ok err slightly bad news for me at least.....


.... recently I managed to get a foot ulcer (again).
It was doing ok and I have been staying off it and eating well & healthily.

Well the reason for said ulcer wasn't actually my fault (makes a change) it was the chiropodist that made a shoe insert for my custom made shoes (diabetics get shoes made for them to prevent this very thing from happenning)

The said shoe insert is a gel like imprint of your bad foot and it's there to contour to the foot and reduce risk of rubbing etc i.e to cause foot ulcers......... well it seems the lady that dealt with me & 200 other patients got her measurements wrong and has been heavily bollocked for it!

Which means now due to the nature of diabeties and the ulcer she caused one of my toes has died! Yep died there's no circulation getting to it, because that's where the laceration/ulcer occurred.... even though it's not my fault & i've been doing everything I could to get better it's just one of those things that happens..... I could have survived and usually do, they take a while to heal but the nature of diabeties can change something like this literally overnight.

So last night I was transported by some very friendly Ambulance members to my local hospital and i'm awaiting an operation to have said toe removed. I'm gonna be fine and should be back to nearly full health in a couple/few weeks it's really come at a bad time though & has knackered any and all plans I had.

Friday's challenge will go ahead as i've got everything already prepared & i'll be able to log into here and post it via my iPhone which i'm using to post this very message.

I've no idea how long i'll be in here, it's p1ssed me off to say the least!

Anyway back to the challenges now, just thought i'd let you guys know, sorry everyone.

John.

That's terrible, get well soon man.

[rocneasta]

i had hard time reading this John, so i'm not gonna even quote this. You are in my prayers as well as my familie's. Hope all goes well!

[Peas]

Ouh man. I wish you a speedy recovery.

[Aramor]

Really sorry to hear that man. I wish you the best of luck with the whole deal and get well soon!

I made an entry for this SMC by the way. It's a pack of Red Apple cigarettes from the Tarantino verse.

Program: 3dsMax 2010
Time spent modelling: 45 minutes
Time spent texturing: 5 (I got the texture from the internet and the cigarette filter is a noise map)

[Shinamori]

I'm not much of a religious person, but I do hope you get better and everything goes well.

[astroAJ]

Really terrible news mate, hope the operation goes well and u get better soon.

[bakuryu06]

Very saddened to hear that John! Really, I hope you get better soon. Take care for now and rest up

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

A big big thanks to everyone!

I'm pretty peeved to be honest as it wasn't my fault.... you know if it was summat i'd done wrong then fair enough.... but .... I dunno.... i'm heavily medicated right now so feeling ok lol, what is worrying is having to sign a form that indicates what could go wrong.... seeing the words loss of foot below the knee or death doesn't put you in the best frame of mind to sign a peice of paper saying ok yeah go ahead, i've been told it'll be pretty straight forward and then it's gotta heal... which'll take the most amount of time... especially as they won't let me out of hospital until it's healed to a certain point.

I'm the youngest on the ward, they've already nicknamed one guy spider-man as he keeps trying to climb the walls every so often... thank god for my iPad and PSP to keep me sane!

I could get really really upset but it's not gotta make a difference to what still has to be done, the only thing it will do it makes me feel worse than I already do.... although i'm pretty sure when I go for the operation as i've not been put to sleep before i'll be extremely nervous...... just don't wanna be here......hopefully it won't be for long my signal in here is awful on my iPhone and there's the worst Wi Fi i've ever seen about 88K which is slightly better than dial up! Streaming movies is out of the question.... might be able to download a few from itunes shop in about a day.

Anyway back to modelling guys, don't worry.

[rocneasta]

It will go well John, and you'll be on your feet in no time!!!!

[bakuryu06]

Man, it must be hard just waiting and being there. I honestly can't imagine what your going through, but I'm confident everything will go well and you will be recovering soon!

Here is my final submission for my Cryo-Can.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Things just get better and better for me........NOT.... got no sleep last night thanks to some old b4st4rd who would not shut up!! then a nurse was "trying to help me out of bed" and I fell off the bed lmao and knackered the base of my spine in, so now i'm bedridden aswell (before I could sit at the side of the bed). Lost count how much i've spent on my iPad in app purchases to keep me busy, bought Autodesk Sketchbook Pro which I sweet but have to be in the mood to draw things, addicated to a logo quiz & tap the frog games. It's the boredom that's the hard part. Was meant to go for the operation last night but they had an emergency come in and they are understaffed.... you gotta laugh.... otherwise i'd cry lol..... oh well might text later on before the challenge turnover.

[rocneasta]

John give me your phone number or msn and i'll text you lame jokes all throughout the day...

on the second thought just get friendly with the nurses, always helped me when i stayed long in the hospitals chatting with the ladies through the night and sleeping when the missus came

Seriously, send me your MSN or AIM, or what have you. Wouldn't mind chatting with one of the 3d Total staff lol. I promise, my jokes will be lamer than rocneasta.
