I'm with everyone here in that my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. I hope that time flies by fast for you so that this all will be nothing but a distant memory.
In the mean time, you might want to take it easy with the modeling. No 1/32 aircraft or 1/72 B-36s. Start off small like with 1/144 kits. That way you don't strain yourself. Now that I think about it, don't they make something like 1/350 airplanes for carrier models? Maybe start with that and then work your way back up. LOL!
Best wishes for a complete recovery and keep your spirits up!
