You are NOT an addict! I am in the same boat you are. Chronic pain is freighted with labels, and the doctors make you feel like a bad person when all you want to do is make life livable. I think the doctors who have no compassion are fixated on making sure people suffer in life, that since they themselves suffer, those who are in pain must learn t live with it like everybody else. It is the most difficult things to do, to get across to the medical community you are in pain. They are now cowardly for the most part, afraid to prescribe. You can use an assault rifle and murder people and become a media star, but if you take the responsibility to medicate yourself you are a criminal int his world. This is a shame, a crime., I hope things get better, my friend. Please hang in there, don't give up!

Hi Doug,
Yes, it has hurt to let my models go, be they boats, trucks, or aircraft. Unlike Colins, my spinal problem is inoperable. I have been offered an operation to help it out, but afterwards, I would have to either stand straight up, or lie down, but I could not bend at all 😭 So my wife and I talked about it, and decided no, and I would just have to put up with intense chronic pain for the rest of my life. Sadly, I am now what is considered an addict, as I cannot live without opioid any more 😔
Had Colin not wanted it, then I might have even brought it over to you Doug, as Germany is my favourite place to be in the world, and we have never been to Munich 😎
Thanks for your thoughts, I'm glad someone remembers me
Kindest regards, Dave W 👍

Very best wishes for your OP Colin🤞👍
Greetings to the 'Two Cs', Doug 😎

Very sorry to read of your 'issues' Dave, had often wondered what you were up to the last few years. Witte Zee is a very nice build, must twinge a bit to part with her🤔
All the best, Doug

"If Colin hadn't, I'd be tortured with trying to find a way to get it to the States ...."
You an me both Dave B,
and I'm 'only' in Munich, Germany.
After BREXIT getting something like Witte Zee shipped here would be a herculean and expensive effort.🤔

Excellent boat for your grandson, Colin, he's a lucky lad. Sorry to hear that you are needing a spinal op. Very best of luck with that and hope you come through it safely and all the better for it

All the best,
Nerys.

Rolfman,
Sorry to hear of your health issues.
What a great boat!
I'm just thankful for two things: 1) it is too far away for me to get 2) Colin has already spoken for it.
If Colin hadn't, I'd be tortured with trying to find a way to get it to the States ....
I hope all works out for you.
Dave B

Colin. If you want it for your Grandson, that is the best person I could imagine it going to. As i would do anything for our Granddaughter, as far as I am concerned, its yours. 14 days is not too long for me to wait. Just let me know how you want to proceed. I can't remember if we can PM each other on this forum, but I will have a look. Enjoy your holiday, and we will chat when you get home. Kindest regards, Dave 👍😊

Wonderful boat, and great price. If still available in 2 weeks I would like to buy as a present for my grandson. I am away on holiday at present before going for spinal op in mid August.
Cheers Colin

Its a beautiful boat. I'm sorry to hear heath issues are forcing you to stop. Good luck and prayers sent your way.
