Anyone here in touch with PD? Or hopefully he takes some time to lurk on his own forum (sigh.) just checking to let him know I'm praying and sending positive thoughts for him and his wife.

I'll do so as I am friends with him on FB. [ Update: I just did so. I'll pass on any reply I get here in another post in this thread.]

I got a reply from TPD and here is his message to the members: I had mentioned the minor thematic changes we've made & he seems happy with them. Hopefully he'll lurk and see them for himself soon.

I just heard from TPD, his wife fell twice but seems to be fine other than some soreness. TPD also mentioned that he likes the direction that the forums are going in & likes the new rules. He must have lurked as a guest recently or discussed things with Chet or El Borak. I figured I'd pass along the update to keep everyone in the loop.

The Borak one and I tag-team in daily emails to David.

The Borak one and I tag-team in daily emails to David. I email mainly when I have technical questions about how to do something and then of course I ask about how things are going but I am far from daily contact. I think both of you are in far more contact that I. I am sorry to hear that his wife has been having a tough time.

Hey Admin...any updates on PD and his "Better Half?" Still thinking about and praying for them daily. PD is sorely missed here :-( I despise people on other boards with petty agenda...

Here is a brief update on TPD & hiswife: TPD's wife was in the hospital for a few days with a medicine interaction and that is better now and she is home. We also have her on hospice now and they are great. She is encouraged and can last a long time, but it helps you prepare in lots of ways.

Here is an update from TPD: "We are doing OK, but the cold weather is going to be really tough on her. I am two weeks into the radiation treatment and it continues through 12/6/18. Today I found out my first cousin (in his 40's) died suddenly of a heart attack. That is pretty tough to take, he is almost 20 years younger than me."

My cousin passing, has been rough on the family, he was only 48 (a little older than I thought but still quite young). He was a computer programmer and currently was a professor at an area college. Three daughters, one in college. Completely unexpected.
My wife is doing pretty well, she is on hospice and we are getting good support. She is currently using oxygen to sleep and as needed during the day at 4 liters per minute. The dialysis messes up her sleep so a lot of the sleep ends up being during the day sometimes.
I just finished my third week of radiation treatment. It is tiring, but not as bad as I feared it would be. I was finally able to get into the dermatologist and confirmed no new skin cancer, the stuff my family doctor was worried about turned out to be benign, so good news there.
So how are all of you doing? What is going on with all of you?

As always you and Mrs. PD are in my daily thoughts and prayers. No maladies to report from my end (but for a bunion but then again I'm apparently genetically prone lol.)Happy, healthy, gaming when I can. New job and fun holidays quickly approaching, I can't complain. Well maybe about the sub zero weather ;-)

So how are all of you doing? What is going on with all of you?
I am sorry I missed the news of your struggles while I was away. Please, accept my best wishes for both of your recoveries.
My stepfather passed away in July; he was a superhumanly difficult human being to live with, and I have discovered upon his passing that he was an equally irresponsible human being who left my mother with substantial financial obligations and made no provisions for her beyond what the government offered her automatically. I spent three months in the worst possible part of Oregon, and finally succeeded in bringing my mother home and securing her in a facility that will more-or-less see to her needs.
In less infuriating news, I'm looking at what my made-up word "shroompunk" means and how it could apply to the common elements of all of my work-- all of which I think is suitable for statting up in various forms of Cortex Prime (my new system bae) and my Sellswords & Godwars retrogame that I'm storing my development diaries here. My Galactic Dragons is taking a decidedly more shroompunk direction, where I'm driving harder on making the aliens more alien and the magic system more... detailed. I'm rethinking Cascade City in light of the new ideas, but it is decidedly backburner compared to my more fantastical projects.

Thank you simrion! So you can be prone to bunions genetically, our genes do the oddest things. FaerieGodfather, sorry for your mom and your situation, prayers for her and you. Good luck with your project.

Yes, I am a never ending source of amusement to my primary care provider. She enjoyed detailing to a med student that was shadowing her my last visit that I fractured metatarsals running > to then discover I am a type 2 diabetic > to getting hit in a crosswalk during a lunchtime walk > to recurring kidney stones! Never ending fun. I do make it a point to surprise her with health improvements each time I see her. I get the distinct impression many of her patients don't heed her advice. Gives me some satisfaction when I see her every 6 months lol

It is hard to make time to do the things you should do versus the things you want to do. Kudos to you!

Wake up call first time I met her and her comment verbatim was "We were afraid you were going to stroke out in the exam room!" 😳 I'm blessed as she is an incredibly smart lady. Was a software engineer for a medical device company prior to med school, very analytical approach.
