Hi Jean-Luc,

Thank you for your inspiring words! If it had not been for people like you who show that they really care I might not have had the strength to make my 'comeback'.

Still, as I said, all the tiny everyday things are very hard for me to cope with and I have to go on rehab as soon as possible.

Best,
Michael

Hello Michael,

welcome back! I hope you will recover soon to full strength!

Alles Gute und hauptsachlich viel Gesundheit!!!

Liebe Grusse aus der Slowakei,

Back from hell - and gone again!

While all you nice fellas keep giving me strength I definitely feel that I am way too weak to make my day at home. I live single. As I told you I cannot properly walk or eat, I presently weigh only 70 kg at 1,86 m height ...I'm going back to hospita,l trying to get to rehab from there.

Hope to be able to really come back and post again by November or December.

Thank you all so much, you are in my heart, you are the main reason for me to carry on! I mean it!

Best wishes, till soon,
Michael

Hi Michael, I have read your post over and over again, so much wisdom

Being relatively new on this forum we never had the chance to meet or speak, but my admiration on your work is non the less beyond words.

I due time i will poost some pictures which might be to great interest to you (such as a breechloading chamber for a wheel lock containg the pan and pancover as well, a breechloading chamber for a swifel cannon etc).

For now, welcome back and a speady recovery my new found friend.

hi Michael,

very good to read that the line to recovery is found, if you use the same persistence for recovery as for absorbing technical knowledge of early firearm, you surely succeed sooner as you expect.

I missed your knowledge, hopefully till soon.

Dear Michael,

Please remember that your recovery to full health is eagerly awaited by all of us at the forum most who have never met you in person but have been benefited so much from your presence on the forum.

Best Regards,

Anan.
