This is totally irrelevant but while flipping the channels I happened across Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.  A concert that had been filmed in 06. It was complete with Victorian costumes and CGI graphics, and a special appearance by Justin Hayward.

It was nice to let the worries melt away

First time in months.  :)

Hey, nothing is irrelevant here!
Nice, always great to find stuff like that. Sorry to hear the worries have been knocking at your door.....

It is a little more than feeling down

Since Biafra is revealing his ailment I guess I will disclose mine

I had Deep Vein Thromboses last year, and being a typical male I didnt have it checked out

I ended having a (very minor) stroke and I have been pretty much out of it since then. In a way I am lucky, the clot could have settled in my heart and killed me.

Note to self:  dont get engrossed in data and sit for eleven hours straight.

Thats why the concert was so cool. I could just sit and watch one of my favorite records.

Yikes, that’s terrible. How are you now? Is your movement limited?

My movement was never impaired, but I was suffering from bouts of confusion (almost constant for 6 months), disorientation, inability to concentrate, and inability to comprehend material that had been simple for me before. I have fixed most of the stuff. Still having problems with comprehending complex concepts though. But at least I can understand most of what I read now :)

I was told to just keep working at it and I will get back to where I used to be. It just takes time :)

Thanks for the concern :)

Isn’t Deus suffering from diabetes and has to shoot up daily? I get to inject myself with anti-coagulant around the navel every morning for the next 6 months which freaks some people out, so I like to do it publicly.

I’ve had some entirely “new” dreams, and also a few mostly dead Kraut buddies and Nigerians come to visit me in my sleep, but, unlike my wife, I’m ready to seize the day by 6 a.m. as usual.

I guess that stuff can be even worse (the body is willing but the mind isn’t). Man, that must have sucked and been ridiculously frustrating. Not to mention scary. But as you say, could have been worse. And at least you can continually work on improving.
Good on you for sharing.

Are you going around the navel in a circle, or just keep poking the same place?

Its been suggested that if bruising occurs I slowly go around the belly button in circular, clockwise motion, but so far nothing hurts or is discolored. Its probably just water, diluted for profit......

Only the occasional gaze. So glad you could join the navel procession though, r.j.

I’m sorry to hear about that, Thorisin.  I’m happy to hear that things are improving, though.

Wow!  I’m also sorry to hear about your DVT, Thorisin.  I hope your improvement continues and speeds up.  That must have been scary!

Yes, that is one of the benefits of space, but this is clearly not a German techno club.

Geez, I leave for a few days and all sorts of stuff comes to light. Holy crap Thorisin!
I am glad nothing worse happened, here is to a full recovery.
Relaxing and enjoying yourself can only help.
I haven’t been posting much as I am fairly busy with my daughter’s supplements and a special project that has also taken much of my time.
You will all be able to see the project when I am done, I will start a thread on it.
In the mean time, take care of yourself and welcome back
