Concerned about vienna
 

He expressed some health worries recently and since his last appointment was due there's been nothing...

Yes he's not the only one though, I hope all is well with him!! :oops::hmmm:

We miss you vienna you were our favorite over in the music department for all of your descriptive offerings :yep:

Adding my concern too.

If you're "lurking" out there vienna, please say "Hi", 'cause you've got some genuine friends quite worried.

:yep:

I'll add my concern also. My favorite antagonist over on the US politics thread and that wealth of musical knowledge is very much missed.

Wishing you all the best vienna and hoping you return soon.:salute:

Here's hoping all is well :salute:

Well he does seem like a very well spoken, creative, thoughtful, and super intelligent kinda guy. Surprised he managed to stick around here as long as he did. Probably needed a break from this insane asylum :D:subsim:

Probably true, what with crazy squirrels running around and the other crazies. :D I noticed Vienna hasn't been in the music thread-one of his favorite haunts. As U-crank said, when it comes to music, Vienna knows it.

I hope he is well as he is, " one of the good guys. "

Hurry back Vienna and know we are thinking about you.


Thanks for letting us know, Eichhörnchen.

...there I was, at 10,000 feet, and I had just gotten tone on the MiG lined up in my sights, when I spotted two more MiGs coming up from behind...

...no, wait...

...that's the wrong story...


Well, I'm more or less back. The new year has been a bit of a challenge thus far. On 2 Jan, I went in for a cranial MRI and two days later I was sidelined by a hell of a lot of symptoms that, at first I thought was a very bad cold or flu. The symptoms lingered for well over a month and pretty much laid me low. They finally went away, but then I developed severe pains in my hands which rendered me unable to do much of anything, much less typing. The pains subsided a little less than a week ago...

Getting back to the MRI, I had an appointment with my regular clinic, who had ordered the MRI, at my insistence, this past Wednesday, 26 Jan. I hadn't heard anything from either the clinic or the MRI imaging people, so I have been going on the idea no news was good news. There was that incident a couple of weeks ago, when I received a letter, out of the blue, from my Medicare insurance carrier; they were asking if I had given consideration to creating an "Advance Medical Directive" a politer sounding name for a DNR, better known as a "Do Not Resuscitate" order. At first, my reaction was "Hmm... Say, I wonder if they know something I don't?...", but I just figured their systems had figured out I'm an old geezer and spat out what it felt appropriate, so I just put it the back of the list. When I got to the doctor’s office, I found out they also had not been given the results of my MRI; there was a bit of a scramble, with several phone calls back and forth, They were able to get the results sent electronically and my doctor reviewed them and left to consult with some other doctors; then he came back...

It seems the MRI found some sort of damage to some of the smaller capillaries in my brain; it has been deemed to be irreversible. My doctor said it may or may not be an indicator of early onset Alzheimer’s and he is referring me to a neurological specialist to make further tests. Until the neurologist makes his determination, I guess I’ll just have to be patient...


I want to thank all who have expressed interest or concern about my whereabouts and for some of the kind words or thoughts; it is very much appreciated. I may or may not be here on a regular basis going forward, but be assured I regard you as friends and will do my best to minimize any concerns…

Again, many thanks…


I noted how some of the comments in this thread edged closely to eulogistic…


Hmm… Say, I wonder if you guys know something I don’t… :hmmm:






<O>

Hello Vienna,

i am glad to hear from you ! Well you certainly have to wait for a definite diagnosis and some plan to treat whatever comes out then.. having something to do with MRIs and neurologist(s) lately i have an idea of what you mean.

Hope to see you again more often here, if it is not too much effort. Sometimes relaxing and doing real world stuff is of course not the worst idea.

No, you misunderstood. Surely. And besides logistics and all that is always the eu's fault :O:

Welcome back or at least you have risen :D

We miss you looking forward to your bashing our president Trump
and of course your picular music interest always peak us for more.

Keep the faith that we love you :up:

Good to hear from you Vienna, you had us worried.

Wishing you all the best and hoping for a good outcome. :salute:

Hi, vienna. Nice to see you're back!:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

More than happy to second that.
