    BM Customers Please Read... OUCH!

    I spent almost four hours at the Hospital today following an accident in my workshop. I was installing a new workbench when I fell backwards but managed to break the fall with my hands. I thought I had fractured my left wrist because of a numbness in the fingers, but after an xray it was revealed that I had sprained the wrist.

    My wrist is currently wrapped inside a very tight elastic bandage and I have to keep it above waist height to ease the pain. I cannot really use my left hand because the fingers have limited movement. I have to see if the swelling goes down over the next 48 hours, if not then I have to re-visit the doctor.

    I'm not sure how long it will take to get full use of my hand back but suggestions from the doctor are in the region of anything from a couple of weeks up to a few months.

    I guess it's kind of lucky that it was my left wrist as I'm right handed. This means that I'm still able to work but obviously I am limited in what I can do and how fast I can work. Just typing this 'one handed' seems to take forever!

    Please bear with me over the coming weeks, I will continue to fulfill orders as best I can. I will update my website at least once a week. If you are concerned about your particular order then please fell free to email me.

    Many thanks
    DAZ

    This is terrible, I am glad to hear that you are not completely out of commission! TDH would be disabled without you!

    Hang in there and heal quickly!!

    Sorry to hear about that. But you are lucky, it could have been worse. Even a simple fall can be quite damaging. Get well.

    I said this in my email aready, but I'll say it here too!
    Hang in there, Daz! I feel your pain having torn cartiledge in my left wrist myself and it's not fun, not to mention I'm a lefty to boot!
    I have a hefty, hefty order in with you and while obviously as a customer I'm concerned about that, as a fellow fan and fan of your work, I think I speak for everyone when I say none of us want to see you hurting!!!

    Take care of that wrist and thank you for the update and reassurances. Speedy recovery!!

    This is a great thread. (Not great that you have hurt yourself )

    Prop makers have a real life. It gets in the way. This is fantastic that you are letting your customers know.

    Well done.

    YAAAAY!! Great to hear you're feeling better. I could just imagine how good it feels to be able to get back to doing what you do. You have amazing talent and it's not often people get to do things they enjoy!

    Hey sorry to hear about the fall but glad that your arm is working better now. And to think maybe if you were wearing your Boba armor it might have given you some extra support. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself out there. Cheers!
