For those that didn't know....

1/ April 8 I had open heart surgery..-----new mechanical aortic valve and a single bypass--this is by itself "ungood" but I WAS getting better. Then........


2/ May 4 I had a "mild" ( ha! ) stroke--this is "doubleplusungood"

So I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT if people would refrain from sending me detail PM messages with ideas on how to " improve" the games for AT LEAST 2 months while i recover from all this nonsense

THANKS ( this took 20 minutes to type without errors)

Don:

Two hard knocks back to back could take the wind out of most everyone's sails. But, you are here and still making things happen!

It seems you just had a change in perspective and now are getting set to turn the crank in a new way but will continue to amaze the community here and the gaming world in general.

You have given the game some incredibly long legs.

Thanks and recover to a new level of brilliance!

The effects of the stroke ...are starting to alleviate .....and I'm told it was a stroke because the TIA happened an hour before.. but fine motor skill have not entirely returned but as strokes go I've been 'lucky'( but when you're lying on the floor and can't make your muscles obey you don't think 'gee I guess I'm 'lucky) ----but I can walk again without assistance which seemed like a fantasy 5 days ago.

Best wishes, speedy and complete recovery. Stay safe! Both game and us, forum folk, are grown-ups and don't need babysitting. So please, take care of Yourself.

Mnr Goodman, Get yourself a good large carboy of Cape Red. Go to bed. Ignore all crotchets from this forum. Use the loo as necessary as you drink the Cape Red. If you think it's necessary, get another. Listen to Mozart and drink the Cape Red.

Recover.

Wow. I just got on the forum and read this. Very sorry about it all. My best wishes for a fast and complete recovery.

[hawk66]

Only vist this forum from time to time and reading this :(


All the best to you Don and wishing you a 100% recovery! As other have said, the game will not run away :)

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

We've touched on this already, enough people hear have given their heart felt words of encouragement and support and as you know I echo those sediments as well, all you have to do now is listen (That goes for Andy too!) "if it ain't broke don't fix it" leave it alone do what I know you like doing with the game and leave the rest alone. I'd rather not see a release until 2016/2017 or never if it risks your well being and those around you-I have a co-worker who suffered your last about three years ago. He's fine now, but, you know what I do for a living and it makes me pause everytime I see him have another pint (or 2 or 3.) of a "monster" type drink on post, besides the fact they're the wrong pints in the first place!?! :p Please take the same advice I've readily (somewhat) accepted from you out here in the forum. But in the meantime...

What you guys have to look forward to when you get back...
1. The Russians aren't going to field anything major for 2 or 3 years.

2. I'll get the Austrian MOD to fix their OOB. ;)

3. I'll have just a couple of inputs by then (:rolleyes:). And I'll take requests again as well as that worked out in the past (And I seriously thank them for those, as they all got in-and you too for getting them there.)

4. Everyone else will have their inputs as well+++.

5. Andy will still have Z-fire issues and similar to deal with.

6. You'll both have plenty of time to figure out where all those new units will be put. May I just suggest that maybe the UAE's time has come as many of the member states already have their own OOB's. I wouldn't even try to keep up with that OOB as the Mideast is already a VERY busy place, that I now have my own separate list for.

7. And finally to drive the point home on work related issues, because for some of us it sometimes requires work and discipline - we have birthdays, anniversaries, get togethers with friends and families, hobbies, travels now and in the future, health and fitness, we have Life to Live and CELEBRATE!

You reminded me of that if you again remember here, now I'm paying it forward.

Get Well!! I'll send you all the pictures you like for your relaxation!?!

Regards,
Pat

P.S.
I have a question concerning MRAPs, if they...on second thought that's how I started out here and we don't want to go back there again now do we!?! :eek:

[dmnt]

Terribly sorry for you, Don. Let other people step up and give your body the rest and time it needs to recover. The (over)enthusiastic fans of the game will be here when you come back and this time they will know better and not bother you with the questions they can find in the manual or nitpicking whether the front armor should be 42 or 43.

[RecruitMonty]

Get well soon!
