I'm Back...Sorta

[kenobi65]

But... go Bears? Considering the location of storied Lake Geneva, I would have taken you for a Lions fan, insofar as such still exist.

Lions? Lake Geneva is closer to Chicago than anything else (only about an hour and a half northwest), though, being in Wisconsin, there's probably many Packer fans there, too.

However, areas on the border between the two states, like Lake Geneva, often have a lot of Bear fans. And, the Colonel was born in Chicago, so I'll forgive him his affiliation in this matter.

Welcome back, Colonel! Glad to hear you're feeling better. IIRC, the duration on shingles is 1d4+2 months...so I'm hoping your DM didn't roll a "4" on you.

Ditto.

Your geography is off a touch... Lake Geneva is in Wisconsin, Detroit is in Michigan, much further than Chicago. More likely to be a Packers fan... though that would preclude any possibility of saying "Go Bears!"

And is anyone really a Lions fan these days?

Oh, and great to see you back in the saddle, Gary!

Wow... I don't know how I got that mixed up. For some reason, I was thinking Lake Geneva was in Michigan...

It sure is good to see you back. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Remember the Shingles belong on the roof, not people.

Sorry I couldn't help it. I've had friends and family go through it, so I know it can be a painful and debilitating ailment. Just take it easy and get better. Best wishes.

Nice to see (..err read) you again. Welcome back!

Glad to see you're healing up, Mr. Gygax.

 

[T. Foster]

Welcome back, Gary. We've missed having you around.

Howdy Fellows,

I am well on the road to recovery now from the shingles, even though the old left eye is still bothersome when strained. At least I can read for short periods of time now without double vision. The doctor assures me that the eye is not affected. My main debility is a lack of energy that causes me to tire easily...especially after an hour working here on the keyboard.

Anyway, I hope to be able to come here every couple of days and manage short posts. If I have missed something you believe is critical, please email me with the URL for whatever it is:

The doctors have advised me that the condition can persist for as long as six months. As I came down with shingles on 10 October, that means I had better be fully recovered by 10 April.

GO BEARS!!!

Gary

Welcome back. Even though I must now declare you an enemy of the state (of Wisconsin, that is).

Some day you'll see the light (the green and gold light, that is).

Take care.

Welcome back and my heartfelt wishes for a speedy and full recovery!
