All joking aside, I wish all with ill health a speedy end,
it really lowers the atmosphere in here, truth be told.

















I'm joking...I'm a stroke in waiting and I bet it happens exactly when I'm wiring a 2g socket with the client looking on and I lose the power of line dancing in the time it takes them to waste their time running to the fusebox which I've already isolated!!!!

I recently found out I have cancer. Other than that, I'm cruising.

Yeah. The treatment sounds like it is gonna be rough. Teeth removed, a couple of months of radiation and chemotherapy and a stomach tube so I can get some nutrition when my throat is out of order.

As others have said, you'll be fine, a bit different perhaps but if your still vertical it's a winner.
Last xmas I was told I had cancer of the windpipe, having a final scan this xmas eve. The radiation treatment is a bummer in your area, affects your ability to swallow and all sorts of other little niggling side effects, but it does get better. I had to be REALLY careful with this covid rubbish as my windpipe was blocked by 80%, after a rush op to get most out, I then had surgery which fortunately for me didn't have to go too far down my breast bone.
Bottom line..............it's been a bad year for me, but in the last month I have started to almost feel normal. You will as well...............best of luck with it.

Thanks for the support.
 
For me I’m literally on my last legs. At 51, I’m expected to get both knee replacement surgeries this January. 24 years in the military really messed my body up.
I think my knees are the only part still working. After being blown up* twice, and shot once, I reckon I'm doing ok , if any part still works tenor (1).gif


*not literally, that would make it really hard to type, as I'd be spread all over the place. "Too close to exploding IEDs to walk away" is also not as impressive when typed :)

I slept through a full-blown riot in Belfast... in the morning when I went out, it looked like a bomb went off in the street :)

Ahhhh those were the days. When at Longmoor we used to have full scale training, CQB , etc going off and I could sleep through them. I certainly wasn't asleep through the incidents mentioned above. Now an owl just needs to hoot and I'm awake :D
