Its kind of amazing how many have returned to R/C after a lay off due to work, medical conditions, family issues, etc. I do not have colitis but, I do have cancer and have returned to the greatest hobby in the world.
I still have an affinity for FG construction, molds, etc. I'm good at it, I ahve over 30 years experience and I plan to put it to good use.
Keep the faith, obay your Drs and you will do well.
