Where have you been?!

Hi all,

Thought I would make an appearance again. Haven't had a break in crunching, the machine's been plodding along nicely without any intervention, reboots or anything from me.

I got sick, so went quiet, but am back - for a while hopefully!

I managed to have a mild heart attack, that went undiagnosed for a long time (although I knew it had happened at the time!) and left me feeling incredibly unwell for weeks afterwards. My blood pressure was dangerously high and also went unnoticed, right to the point where I was close to having a stroke apparently - my head literally felt like it was exploding and I had such a loud ringing in my ears 24/7.

Those of you in the US that say we are lucky to have a national health service here - maybe not so - I had to go private at a cost of many many months of spending money to find out what was wrong and how to treat it.

So, lifestyle changes for me already in place. It's a genetic illness that has caused the problems, one that can't be "fixed", but one that lifestyle changes can certainly help keep under control.

Sorry to hear of your illness Andy, but glad it is manageable, and welcome back :-)

Thanks Chris. I've still got a bit of time away from work, so spending time batch cooking healthy foods! I am so thankful for A/C right now!

Very sorry to hear about your health Andy.
Take care.

Glad you were able to get it taken care of. I have 5 bits of chicken wire around mine. As for cost, my care cost in excess of 300K US. For the average american that's about 5 years wages. So who know who has the better system. I am just glad it worked for both of us.

By the way have you heard of the caveman Diet. It's what I am on and it works for me.

Sorry to hear of your difficulties. Just stick to the management plan so we can have your wit and wisdom around here for a long time.

Couldn´t agree more Celt.
Same for you.

Andy - so sorry to hear about your recent health difficulties. Heart attacks in young people are often not diagnosed right away. I know two women, both skinny little things, who had mild heart attacks quite young. I wish you a speedy recovery and a long and happy life, my friend.

Well you have no idea how I worried about Andy. He plans a visit to SF, then disappears.

Good to see you back Andy, and I am sorry to hear of your inhereted problems. As least you indicate things are manageable, and changes will improve maters.

Get well

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Crikey, sounds quite horrid. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Wow! Thanks all for such warm responses. I'm genuinely touched. Thank you.
