    Sorry to hear it mate. We can compare injuries 😕

    I’d be calling on my fellow members for a hand. I’m sure someone will help you.

    That is one reason I don’t play sport… or excercise… or… oh nevermind..

    Awww Bless!!! Hope you get back on your feet soon!! It certainly is a pain when you get injured or ill when you are self employed.

    Sorry to hear you got hurt. I broke my toe last week at Tae Kwon Do. It’s not too bad in the morning but by suppertime I’m definitely ready to quit walking on it!

    Hi Patrick, it is not nice to be hurt, especially when you are self employed and probably with a family to feed.
    Well what I suggest is to forget about sign writing for a while and do yourself a favour. Stop pittying yourself and say well, this is going to be my resting time for a while, give the engine a rest and next time I will be more careful not to do any more damages. 🙂

    How about some reserch work, maybe fine tune a little bit on sofware.

    Good luck mate, hoep you get that engine of yours rolling.

    Joseph.

    Hi Patrick.
    Or maybe going to a smaller scale, like having a small Plotter say, Craft Robo and I would suggest the first notice would be either OUT OF BOUND SIGN or even better. WILL BE BACK after a short BREAK.. 😀

    I am just joking and hope you are smiling. I know the feeling when you are a SE and a sole owner when you have to do everything yourself and you are just stck there helpless. :lol1:

    Or if you have plaster on you might try some engraving for a while: 😉

    Never got off it. Even finished the fight. Most of the black is gone out of it now….it’s just twice as big as the others. It’s the second toe in, not the big one….so not such a big deal. My Brother broke his big toe and that is far more difficult to recover from, from what I could tell.
