• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Went in to my GP to get checked out do to a nasty cough. Chest x-ray negative. Gave me a script for a cough syrup with codeine. 4 day later, I'm in hospital with bi lateral pneumonia. :(. Spent 3 days in hospital getting all kinds of tests and meds. Felt so much better, but was told to rest and not over do it. 4 days later, I'm eating dinner and suddenly I couldn't breathe. Right side of lower back above the kidney felt like I was being stabbed. About passed out waiting for the EMT's.
After all the tests, it was determined I had several blood clots in my right lung. :yikes:. I guess my inactivity after being released from the hospital earlier in the week, and told to take it easy, allowed clots to form in my lower legs. When they decided to move and lodge in my right lung, we were at my MIL celebrating my wife's birthday. Happy birthday honey.

Been in hospital for 3 days with a couple more to go. Feeling much better. Still can't believe how dam painful that was.

Sorry for the long winded (pun intended) rant. There's really not much do do in here @ 10:15 pm....:banghead:
 
Wow

Sending wishes for a speedy recovery. I tangled with pneumonia a few years back and I never want to do that again. Talk about zapping your strength. I can't imagine dealing with the blood clots on top of the pneumonia. I hope all goes well and this passes quickly.
 
Thanks everyone. Doing much better. I'm definitely walking around the halls several times a day. They also have me on blood thinners and some very strong pain meds, but I've been having a hard time with the pain meds causing nausea, so I'm only taking them sparingly.
 
Yikes...!!!

Sure glad they have you on the road to recovery. Had to be something frightening :yikes: do hope you will be outta there soon. Wishing you a speedy recovery..:thumbup:
 
Other than that, how are you doing? Still got a sense of ironic humor it seems.

I wish you a speedy and full recovery, buddy.

Wow that’s some some scary stuff. Glad to hear you’re feeling better

Otherwise I'm fit as a fiddle. They did several test of the heart and had me on a monitor till earlier today to determine if my heart was the cause or was affected in any way by this. Happily, I can say the ticker is 100%.

Wife has really been dropping hints, jokingly of course, (I think)...that I really owe her do to the fact my first stint in the hospital fell during Valentine's day, and I went back in on her actual birthday. :spyder:. Sleeping with one eye open.,. :helpsmilie:
 
Rob...
I wondered where you had been hiding; I sure wish that it was anyplace else! nojoke
Heal quickly and completely! :thumbup:

Glad to hear you are getting this stuff whipped into shape!!! As to your spouse don't you worry; she has too many years invested in getting you properly trained to risk any mayhem!!!

Ask your doctors if you can use Ibuprofen (motrin) with your blood thinners. If you can you may find that you will get much better pain control than with the narcotics. They most likely will say no because it will increase your chances for bleeding, but worth asking. Hope you are all the way om the up side of all this soon.

:pray::pray::pray::pray::pray: From Mesa, AZ My wife went to the shooting range today to improve her aim. She has not been able to hit me yet. Hope she didn't get too much practice. (Sent to you with much humor and the very best wishes)
