Albert Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I just wanted to let everyone know that @CPUWIZ has been in the hospital for the past several days. He went in after an ucler ruptured and was told by the doctors if he had waited much longer he wouldn't have made it. Since being admitted, there have been other issues that have come up as well. CPUWIZ has been a friend of mine for many years and has been a moderator here at AtariAge for nearly as long as the site has been around. He has also helped us with various circuit board designs over the years for different systems, and has helped many others with their projects over that time. I'm hoping that he'll be released from the hospital soon so he can continue his recovery at home. If you would like to send some positive thoughts his way, you can do so in this thread, and I'll point him to it. He has limited internet connectivity and I believe he only has his phone with him, but I'm sure he'll stop by as he's able. Just don't expect him to respond to any personal messages or emails at this time. Get well, CPUWIZ, we're rooting for you!! ..Al 15 78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know how to turn the IV off if nobody else is around and something happens. So sad to hear stories like this. I went through a spate of requiring (routine) frequent bloodwork about two years ago, and frequently frustrated nurses who couldn't stick my mischevious veins. I encouraged them on through the bruising by telling them I was giving them free reign to stab a lawyer. My favouite question to the techs: "so, how did you get into phlebotomy?" The blank stares I received usually made me giggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
