That is a terrible example of bad luck Marcus. I'm really sorry for you and your friends and family. I hope you can go on modelbuilding as long as possible, because I know from experience that tget your book on here is a lot of comfort in it. Never give up hope.
I wish you all the best.

Thank you @Ab Hoving for giving me hope. Due to some difficulties working with wood, I have started with very simple card models. Folding paper takes a lot of effort, but it does work. :) I have to keep my fingers moving and bending as long as possible. I did get your latest book on modelling with card. Excellent book, as always.

The ALS has accelerated in the last 2 weeks and my left hand has severely weakened. I can still type, but slower.
I tried to sand a mast today but I just don't have the strength to put it in a vise and then work on it. I have to be practical and realize that my ship modelling days are over ...... :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
I will try some other stuff with wood but I think this is it. Next couple of days I will try with card and see if it is easier. We will see.
