Update: I'm not dead yeat
 

Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't kicked the bucket. My blood pressure isn't exactly under control, it' still hitting dangerous levels but I started a new medication yesterday so I'm hoping. My vision's pretty screwed up; I can't say if it's gotten better or worse since I was released from the hospital. It comes and goes. I can still read, so I guess it's probably about the same.

Well that's good

I agree... Hey if any mods notice this thread doubled could they be merged or something?... I don't think I hit submit twice, but I might have.

good to hear

Take care of yourself.....

Damn man. Hang tight and take care. Hope everything takes a turn for the best...

Dagwolf dont forget about the magnifier feature included in XP Programs / accessories / accessibility /magnifier :2 cents: Might help you out sometimes.

Your thoughtfulness is appreciated! :thumbsup For a minute I thought you were yelling at me.

Using the big fonts feels like giving in, but I think I'll try it tomorrow. Trying to keep focused on normal fonts hurts after a while. :)

dying is bad last time i checked

There will be better days, Dagwolf!

:1orglaugh Size 5 would be fine.

Wish you luck.

still the same is better than getting worse, so fingers crossed for you mate.

hope you get through this

my eyes loe that great font

i am glad you are better....

take everything easy bro, hope everything will go back to normal

Hope you are getting better man !

That's good you are alive. Me too! :)

Glad to hear you are still alive and kicking! Keep your spirits up, it helps a great deal..trust me on that

Nice news man... Keep fighting!

Has anyone tried this magnifier? It's incredibly distracting. Wow!

I'm having a decent day today, btw. Hope everyone else is too. :thumbsup

So I take it you're going to be doing some regular exercise now?

Yep, gotta do it.

Hopefully you can clean up the diet a bit too.

Good diet and exercise helped my father lose 20 lbs and stop taking insulin for his diabetes.

ok NOW I'm dead.


:1orglaugh no actually I'm not feeling too bat ATM.

good to hear

Hope it gets under control

My biggest problem right now (besides the fact that I can't spell the words "bad" and "yet" apparently; maybe i'm just not noticing and correcting my typos as much) is that I have trouble finding my mouse cursor on the screen.

Hey yeah, I can! :1orglaugh That's an improvement. I'm really happy you did that.

i'm a miracle maker

Ok you can have the credit. I don't care, I'm just happy I can read that. :1orglaugh

and for my next trick, i will give Magic Johnson AIDS, AGAIN!

dagwolf.. you might invest in a 2nd monitor if you dont already have one, just a cheap large CRT.. like a 21". something with a very favorable dpi (lower is better)

then you can run everything on this monitor, then drag the "magnifier" window to the other monitor.. and enlarge it out.. so it'll follow your mouse around for ease of reading

Gawd no, I tried that thing and it made me seasick. Besides, blurring isn't that much of a problem; it's more like "low contrast". Plus my peripheral vision is gone, and there are spots where I can't see at all.

I also have trouble adjusting to sudden changes in light.

In spite of all that, though, reading normal fonts isn't much of a problem if the contrast is good.

If I do start having trouble reading again the first thing I'll do is switch to 800x600.

get better soon man

i miss your posts :(

Wish you all the best

dagwolf.. the mouse cursor thing. go into mouse properties, there is an option that if you hold down the CTRL key, it'll make your mouse cursor flash and stuff so you can see it

Hoof to hera that mate :thumbsup

Stay happy, Dagwolf!

hey take care of yourself.. and remember.. this hushmoney skin wont help!
