... for about a week.

I woke up Monday morning with chest pains. I relaxed as best I could for a short while, then took some nitro - the pain went away. Knowing that the only ill that nitroglycerine cures is a heart problem, I called an ambulance and I've been in the hospital since.

They did a catheterization yesterday and found a couple of blockages. I am being transferred to their coronary hospital tonight, in a couple of hours to have stents put in tomorrow at noon.

Oh, and I have pneumonia too.

Wish me luck...:wavey:

Cheers

Having done that the hard way a few years back (heart attack, blues & twos, emergency op) my thoughts are with you. With me it was minimally invasive and done under local anaesthetic, so I got to watch the progress on a huge monitor by my side ...... best programme on TV that day imo!! :biggrin-new: Certainly increased my respect in our NHS. :applause:

Echoing what others have said, get plenty of rest afterwards.
 
I just woke up... feeling much better with 2 new stents in my coronary arteries, antibiotics ,working on my pneumonia and a fresh pot of coffee. :wiggle: I'll be going home this afternoon! :applause: Hopefully, the flight surgeon will clear me to fly soon

Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes. :encouragement:

Cheers, all:

Problems

Came back to the hospital yesterday. I could hardly walk and my pneumonia was getting more acute with no antibiotics on hand. After testing, they showed it indeed was there and I had 2 blood clots in my left lung.


So, I'm back into MB between visits from doctors and nurses again. I'm in the veteran's hospital this time and will go home this time with home nursing care, once released.



I discovered that some of my missions are missing from my Missions folder!!! That is no great tragedy, since I had just run a back-up of my install last weekend. Has anyone noticed that their smiles aren't working? And my text manipulation functions - bold, italics, underline, font etc - are not available either! Is it just me, or do some of you have the same "glitch?"

I'm going tho get down to work just the same. It is 1 hour till breakfast and I'm wondering what surprises the chef has for me this morning. :banghead:


Good morning and cheers to all:

Been there, done that as they say; I'm 3 years on from clots in my lungs caused by covid infection. My best friend is now a tablet called Apixaban; which has less complications associated with it than Warfarin.

R&R is all you can do.

Yes, I'm on apixaban now too...

Greg

PS: I lost about 10 Santa Cruz missions somehow, but I still have copies of my last saved versions, which I can easily update. Right now though, my health is my main concern. Sorry this campaign is taking so long to complete. :dizzy:
 
I think I speak for everyone saying we would rather have you back and healthy over a new campaign to fly Greg.

Take care of yourself pal.

Thank you, I will :loyal: But I need something to do other than sitting here and watching television. I'll be working but at a reduced pace. :wiggle::encouragement:
 
I have 41 missions completed and about a third of them flight tested. I can't test the others just yet. I doubt that machine gun fire, echoing through the halls of a veteran's hospital would go over too well. :rocket: I'll tackle that task once I get home. Instead, I will work on other things, like building the .cmg and learning to make an auto installer.

Cheers: :very_drunk:

Greg, I hope you get well soon! Take your time with the missions, I'm sure they are well worth waiting for!
 
Progress Report

Thank you, guys, I am home now, recovering and working. I'm not 100% sure the pneumonia is gone and I'm taking meds for the pulmonary embolisms I have, but I feel pretty good. Re-examining my sources, I learned that the Japanese were using A6M3 Zeros in both the Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz engagements. So I am going back through my earlier ES missions and editing in A6M3s in place of the A6M2s I had used as well as some of stuart277s newest ships. Next? I will flight test the last 12-15 missions, finish the .cmg file and set up the auto-installer.
 
Hearing you are home and feeling better is great news Greg. Looking forward to the campaign, glad to hear you're back in the saddle cowboy!

I too. I've finished the .cmg except for minor editing due to changes in the saved names of the missions I have yet to test fly. :very_drunk:

Question: Should I bother to include in the package a comprehensive d/l list if I do an auto-installer? :semi-twins:

"campaign_name_string"=Desperate Battles 2023 -- USN
"campaign_overview"=Start your engine! You are about to be called to service and thrust into some of the most one-sided battles of the Pacific war. You will be thrown into the fry off Guadalcanal - August through October 1942. The Marines have just landed and are desperately clinging to their toehold on the island and the newly activated airstrip - Henderson Field (codename: Cactus). The Japanese are determined to seize the airstrip and throw the Marines back into the sea. The Japanese side still has the advantages of numerical and qualitative superiority in the air and on the sea, as well as a large number of skilled and experienced pilots. Your only advantages are the US intelligence network, their signal intelligence and the coast watcher network and their new and widely used radar systems. You will find yourself in tough defensive battles, scouting missions and anti-ship strikes. You may be assigned to lead a fight of F4F-4 Wildcats, TBF-1 Avengers or of SBD-3 Dauntlesses, or even pilot a PBY-5A Catalina on night search missions. Your mission is to hold the line and help hurl back 2 major enemy naval counteroffensives and keep the island in Allied hands. Good luck!

Cheers: :wavey:

P.S: Scoobyman32, I am in no way a "cowboy." I am a devoted Giants fan. :applause: :encouragement::very_drunk:
 
Glad to hear that you are home again!

If you do an auto installer, obviously a list of download links is not necessary, but at least for me a list of the things you used would be interesting, just for reference.
