I wish I had half the problems you do, no diabetes but the hernia thing, bad knees swollen legs and feet and a wife who had a stroke and requires 100% of my attention. Shut up, and bring those posts we all come to adore, and it will be damn good to your health.
If your legs and feet are swollen you may be well on your way to the diabetes thing.

Thanks, Cardinal and Kris, for getting through to Nowski. And thanks, Nowski, for checking in!! We'll keep the prayers going up for you....for all of us. We're going to need lots and LOTS of prayers to get through the dark days ahead!!

Keep the faith, Nowski. And check in from time to time when you come over to read. Post a comment on something just so we know you are still around and kicking. Many of us really like your postings. You have a unique way of looking at things that are happening, and we need every unique and not-so-unique opinion and perception. Like a puzzle, when all the pieces are put together, you can start to see what the big picture looks like. We need your puzzle piece, too.
 
I have his permission to share his email:


Holy cow Batman, its Cardinal and Kris Gandillon!

I am honoured to be receiving emails, from (2)two of my favorite admins.

The forum is wanting to know my status it appears.

Several reasons why I have disappeared, which have ended up with my having greyed myself out online, by about 85 percent.

1st is my health.

I am 65, and should I see February 12th, I will turn 66. I am hanging on, and have some issues.
Trying to avoid another inguinal hernia, which I have already had 6 of them. Sitting is bad for them, and like an idiot, I spend hours a day online, and now having pains in the area of the hernia repairs.
The surgeon who repaired the last (4)four, said that is how I got them.

I am a retired senior systems analyst, and sitting in a cube, looking at a computer monitor for hours everyday, did it to me.

Now I just stand up and look at my computer monitor, but I cannot do much of that due to nephropathy in my feet,
primarily the right foot. It is basically dead. Diabetes did that to me, however I have mostly good control now.

Couple of weeks ago, I am certain that I had a light heart attack, which I have had several. Left arm went totally numb,left side of head and neck also went numb and ticker started to act up. I knew it was coming, so as best as I could I got into bed, had my nitro, and held on. It got better, but I was sore in my chest for several days.
In the past whenever that has happened, blood test confirmed an attack. I had quintuple bypass in October 2003,
and stents in right coronary artery in December 2010, so my poor ole ticker has been through it.


Pulsatile tinnitus. This is a biggy. I hear my heart beating in my right ear. Sometimes it is so bad, that all I can do is lay down, and get as quite as I can, and sometimes it will go away. It is a vascular problem, ear is hearing blood going through artery next to ear. Only fix is surgery, which I would not being able to survive. They would want me to take the jab, which would kill me.

2nd is Internet and computers.


My internet is a cellphone hot spot via Verizon towers. I am lucky to get a single signal bar, and many times no signal at all. It is the only internet available in my location. It causes my email client, Mozilla Thunderbird on my main Linux Mint box, to disconnect. Some days I am not able to get into my email, which is what happened the last several days.

I use (3)three computers. (2)two Linux Mint boxes, and a Windows tablet.

The Windows tablet decided it was going to crash, simply because it is Windows, and I spent the last part of October, and most of November rebuilding it.
I have built thousands of unix and Windows servers, so this is my wheelhouse, and I was able to get it rebuilt pretty quickly, the biggest problem was drivers.

Now I can lay down, and use the tablet to read the main 1st page of of general discussion, mostly the grand solar minimum thread, and to download SAR01 ebooks. I now have 1634 ebooks, on my Kindle PaperWhite.

I only read from the main 1st page. I also read some other forum and boards, primarily AR15.com and Survivalist Boards.
Also, I am still studying Russian, and also now Romanian, and I use the tablet for those studies.

I do believe that in these most uncertain times, that it is best to keep a low profile, be as unknown as possible.

November 2020 changed this country forever and forever, and the country that was before it is not
going to ever come back, not ever. Doomer Doug is the most correct by the way, and he is what I would call an optimist.

Remember, if something bad can happen it will, and something bad will happen before something good.
It has been this way since the beginning of time.

If you would please, thank them all for thinking about ole Nowski, and that I will try to get back on the board soon.
You can post this email if you like.

Please be safe everyone.

Regards to all.

Nowski


Awww. Hope you heal up fast.

Thank you Cardinal for emailing Nowski and for sharing his 'ok to share' reply.

So sorry for your many health issues, Nowski. Work related injuries shouldn't cost one so dearly. Praying you get to a better place with your health issues. Best to you!

Admins, thanks for helping us find MIA and AWOL members. These are unprecedented times and many members are getting up there in age, and many have major health issues, family issues and life issues. Each member is important to TB2K. The world gets more dangerous by the day.

And to quote Nowski, "please be safe everyone".
