 Hello again!
|
|
|
It's been an while I posted something.
Last monday I was taken into hospital to have a surgery on my lower back issues.
Since it all has taken to long in The Netherlands to have a surgery my nerves were too much damaged I also abtained a dropfeet (partially disfuntioning of the feet).
The operation went succesfull and on thursday I was fired from the hospital.
The normal hernia pains are completly gone now, so I am able to walk again, which is a real pleasure.
The dropfeet hasn't completely cured, and probably can take up to 1.5 years untill it can obtain its full functionallity (but thats not for sure). But it isn't such a problem since I am able to walk and I am not a runner.
The wound is 7" big because they were not able to use the new operational techniques due to 2 herniated discs.
Positve site of all is that probably within two monts I can pick up the guitar again and slowly start all over again.
The next 2 months I am not allowed to do anything, apart from sitting, lying down and walking...which is hard at first because I would like to do a lot of things which I haven't done for quite some time now.
But when I am fully recoverd, the first thing will be a big holiday with my girlfriend, who's my nurse now, and have a nice holiday in south of spain and gain some flamenco vibes again.
Probably I will not be able to play as much as I would like to, but I just have to accept that, and perhaps thats not even a bad thing, since there will be less presure to obtain results.
As part of all what happened the last months I decided to have cancelled my order for the Francisco Navarro Reyes model with pegs and I am gonnna sell my HSL F03. (If anyone is interested in the HSL, just drop me an email)
I decided that one guitar will be enough for the time being and I have my FN Concert model updated with some beautifull fustero tuners with black rollers (Fustero 202/A black rollers).
The time I have left over now I am not gonna play so much again I will spent on photography (thanks but no thanks Simon  ) and to Computer Art.
I already have a few assignements for some Cover Art, and small video, and since my girlfriend has now a nice assignment for some interior design projects I can help her out creating 3d art. The last is not as normal as I thought in the world of architecture and design, so I hope I can do a lot of assignments in this field.
Learning some new packages like the new AutoCAD, Maya, Zbrush and the whole bunge to have some tools availble to obtain something.
Hope everybody is doin well here!
And spent the andrenaline in playing is what I would say  , I like show offs in playing instead of typing.
cheers
koz

Welcome back Kozz, we have two things in common now, only I got a smaller incision for the one disc. You can blame computers and guitars for the poor posture.
Sorry about the photography thing. I am moving to medium format film and scanning with my old Bronica that is on its way back from Spain as we speak, so you better keep up. My wife is busy with Corel Painter and PhotoShop on her Mac and starting to produce some interesting images.
For me, music and imagery are closely related. They come from a similar creative motivation and can emote the same feelings.
It took at least 5 years for me to get my toes back, I have got used to the numbness down both legs but I could never have got used to that relentless, disabling pain.
p.s. you can stay at my house near Granada for free if you want it. 20 mins drive into the city, 30 mins to the beach or stay in the lovely valley. Just drop me a note.
LOL,
computers and guitars are not made for humans.
The photography thing helped me a lot in seeing this from a different perspective, its good for the creativity....but one thing's for sure, I am not gonna keep up with you...photography and film is a complete different area, and I don't have the patience to wait for movie editting
I am very curious to what your wife is doin! I remember Corel from the old days on the Amiga500, after that never looked back into it.
I do totally agree with that music and imagary are very close related, it all is supposed the express ones personal feeling.
Damn Simon, I didn't know it you 5 years to get your toes back....I thought it was immediately cured.
What was the reason? Also waited to long with surgery?
Wow, thats really awesome gesture Simon, very much appreciated and I'll certainly drop you a mail about it!!!

hi, kozz
Wishing you all the best,
being an ( almost old :-) ) architect I am sure you are looking in the right direction!...... here in Italy, I believe is the same in your Country, 3d PC operators, in the fild of Architectural rappresentation, are in very high demand.
good luck!
ciao
Giambattista
Thanks gbv!
I should have known that when I first started out with 3ds max for fun when I still was a chemical analyst, but maybe its not to late. :)
It still amazes me, I thought that brance was leading in technology....just another lesson; never assume, always ask.

welcome back kozz!
im glad things worked out well!
about the nerves, they do come back. they're slow as hell, (1mm a month or something like that) but they do come back.
good thing you got the 27 inch mac. now you wont have to strain back to learn in to look at the details.
if you need to zoom in, it's command key then scroll with the mouse. just dont zoom in too much or your head will explode.
Thanks Anthony!
One day I hope they do come back, but I so sooo happy just being able to walk and sit again in a normal way. I've got to have some "electro shock therapy" on the nerve everyday now. It'll not solve the issue, but keeps the muscles trained. So once the nerve thinks its time to join in, the rest will do also.
Yesterday I picked up the guitar since a very long time...hahaha...I laughed out loud because everything went wrong. Its time to become a lady again and file my nails.
The iMac is a beast, I am lovin it. For a few days I thought the screen was to big....but you get used to it pretty quick.
For PS and 3d application I have to get an another mouse and a wacom tablet....but must admit I am hooked on the mac designs, so it must fit .
Last weekend I got a mail from ZEEP architects and they want to have a logo, mouth to mouth advertising is doin its work already in a good way, and I haven't got a website yet for myselves.
cheers amigo
