LOST & MISPLACED A2K people.

Not really, JPB. But I guess we can always count on him for the "fantasy baseball" stuff.

I expect other people know, but has Mathos been banned, or just exiled himself?

Clary,
Some people have told me that spendius and mathos are actually the same person. Is that true? (spendius is still posting)

My bad...

So the story is: I quit my job, moved and started school which is the first step towards a major career change. I had to get some science pre-reqs out of the way, so am currently enrolled in an accelerated program for those. They are only 8 week classes so even though I only started in January, I have already taken mid-terms in Physics and Chemistry and am already beginning to study for the finals.

So all that really means is I have been super super busy lately. Now that I am some what settled in my new path, I'll should be around some but at a much lower frequency than before.

So, thanks for worrying and sorry to make you worry. It's good to see everyone else is still doing well.


Oh and if anyone was wondering... I aced both my midterms!

Right on!
that is great news.

Hey, jp. I'm going to start including you in my Chicago gathering discussions (not that there have been any lately, we're all hibernating). Actually, our next one will probably be a road trip to Cedarburg to send O'Bill on his merry way to warmer climes.

Stay tuned....

We're still on for early June, aren't we? I've already booked my air and hotel.

Sounds good, JPB.

I haven't kept up the the Europe thread in ages, but didn't he say something about a trip to Thailand?

Yep, yep, yep. We have to finish digging out from our caves first.

Hi all!

I keep meaning to visit A2K to see what is happening - but I get so tired. I am on a 2-minutes-work-15-minutes-rest regime, so by the time I switch the phone over to the computer, go on line, get on to A2K, read a few threads, I am exhausted!

Also I have had to have traffic lights installed ( that's a joke) as some days I have five different nurses coming to visit me.

There are the general nurses who came daily for the first week, every second day for the second week and every third day for the third week - taking the usual "OBS" as in temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and blood saturation levels (how much oxygen and carbon di-oxide), and listening to the lungs at work.

Then there are the physiotherapists, teaching me to breathe more efficiently, and exercises to strengthen arms, legs, chest, etc. Then there is the Occupational Therapist, teaching me the best way to function in the house.

There is another OT that comes to help me with my shower, and finally there is a lady that comes to do my shopping and some cleaning.

I have been thoroughly spoilt since I have been home but that is all winding down now and I think it will be very quiet very soon.

The Physio has been in touch with the Lung Specialist and I had a call from his Registrar a couple of days ago to say I could cut down the oxygen from 24 to 16 hours a day. That was such wonderful news!

Thanks for caring - will pop in and out, checking things out, so behave yourselves! :wink:

Great to see you on the threads again, Lezzles, and do hope things improve, it sounds a fiercesome regime. May you be blessed with extraordinarily nice and interesting carers!

Lezzles!

There you are!

Oh phew, I'm so relieved to hear you're OK!

Take extra good care of yourself. Make sure of that, OK?

Thanks heaps Olga!

The time has come to pamper myself and put me first. That is the main advice I have been getting from all the medicos and I aim to follow it.

See you around!

If you are really, really serious about this pampering business, you need to make a list! "Things to be enjoyed, often! Including things like:

Bubble bath, twice weekly.

Foot massage

Flowers. Beautiful ones!

Favourite food. Often

What were those books you never had time to read? Now's the time.

Make your way through all the films you really wanted to see but couldn't. They're on DVD really quickly these days.

Cut out the duty stuff & indulge in the pleasure stuff!

You get my drift?

Pleasure!

Has anyone heard from Ticomaya?

He hasn't posted since the 7th.

He's moving. I could imagine, it takes some time to get all settled.

I haven't crossed dadpad's path for a bit.
Am I on the wrong threads again?

I suppose so, msolga :wink:

Which means you've spotted him in the last week, Walter?
(Being on the right threads & all ..... :wink: )
