hey everyone i felt after everything thats happened recently and members showing concern over my absence deserved a huge thank you and recognition, story first-
got hurt at work almost 3 years ago now, forkie went round a corner too fast and dropped a 300kg tube on my shoulder, stuffed it but anyone who has dealt with a work insurance company knows what hell they make it, took 2 years just to get an mri, i was forced to work these 2 years until finally they found the injury, what started as a torn posterior labrum had now deteriorated into get this- NO LABRUM, 4 bursas, 6 stuffed tendons and ligaments and ive got a parabolic cyst in threre just for kicks, it sucks.
now this was a year ago, who knows what its like now but the stress drove my ex oerboard, threw me out with nothing because my payout took too long, womenn anyway this meant losing the awesome set up id ust constructed with help from the forum of course, sleepin in my car, couches etc til i found here, and through all this i managed to keep my 2 outdoor plants with me, my last saving grace if you will, two weeks lft, perfect timing for my surgery to get me through as a med user with severe reactions to pain meds-all doctor signed mind you- and rippers got em while i was at the docs!
so now im working on 3 grodrobes to hopefully be finished before my surgery so i can at least start again, tried sourcing locally but i know no one....
there you have it, sorry ive been away for a while, no wifi sleeping in ya car lol but a huge thank you to riu as a whole and a few spcial members for looking out for me and being genuinely concerned, thank you all, now o find some smoke an clones and im set!!

Bloody hell...I hate it when people say "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."
So I'll not tart it up and say "What doesn't kill you, makes you limp."

Innit?

Yeah, but now you're a free man in Paris.

...so to speak.

You will prevail. Vortex will put you right.
