Hey all...

Not sure who is still around from around 2010ish time frame... but I'm kind of back.

Long story short, but it feels like I lived a life time since I've last been here. Moved from the Caribbean to England, then back to the Caribbean, then to Montreal, then back home on the East Coast of Canada and had a few years of recovery (found a brain lesion a little over 3 years ago, and from that moment it was a whirl wind to surgery date, with the possibility of it not succeeding with some possible complications. I had some complications, but so far not to shabby at the moment... I highly don't recommend having a stroke... the recovery is a PITA.

Anyways, feel free to drop me a line, open to touch base with the old timers or anyone else.

Kind regards,
Kris

Kris: Welcome back! A few years back I had major back surgery, implants of screws , 2 SS rods and a “rotorouter” procedure up the spinal column. Rehab took a full year and even for gym rat me, was grueling. Like you , I ended with a very good, but not perfect result. So , I commiserate.

Reminds me of a line by the Command Master Chief in GI Jane. Not an exact quote, but something like: Pain is good. You have to be alive to feel pain ! A bit apocryphal. But you get the idea.

Hey! Me too!
I did a lot of travel around the world until things got too much too much, so now I tend to stay put. One of the places I went a lot was Ukraine...and it's be hard to watch places I've been blown up.


I'll be more active here...watch the "Natural Disasters and Long Term Emergencies" forum for some interesting stuff.
