Life is a series of ups and downs.

 The older faces remember me and the new ones haven't a clue.  That is why I am writing this. To let old friends know where I have been

and the new ones to get to know me.

 

 I joined FA quite a few years back and loved it here.  The most fun I had ever had.  I met so many new people and had a blast gaming with them.

 

 After a while, I had a few heart attacks, but then had a massive heart attack.  I ended up having an emergency quadruple bypass.

I didn't let it stop me though, I tried to hang out and play as much as I could.

But not long after, I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and my health crashed.

I was already dealing with extensive nerve damage and this put everything over the top.

 

 For those of you who do not know, CHF causes fluid to build around your heart and in that process your heart struggles as it beats and

the fluid build up causes your lungs to also fill which makes it hard to breathe and in turn causes things like, Upper Respiratory Infection, Flu, Pneumonia and so on.

Because of this, I took time off from gaming and focused on my family. 

 

 My health continued to go south but at the same time, I had my first 2 grandchildren.  They changed my life, caused me to want to live and I decided

from then on out, I would do whatever it took to live and see them grow up.

 

 Right in the middle of all this I had another heart attack, I had a 90% blockage and as I was having the heart attack, it caused me to have a stroke.

I spent quite some time in the hospital trying to get better and only about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I got out. 

I decided I would enjoy my grandchildren and my favorite past time, playing games.

 

 Well, that is what brought me back around here.  I decided, I would come and try to have some fun with my old friends and hopefully make a few new ones.

I don't know how long I have left, or what God has in store for me, but I plan on living life as full as I can, doing the things that make me happy.

I will be around as much as I can and try to help out where I am able.  It feels good to be home and hopefully I will be able to stick around this time.

 

Love,

Chameleon  ❤️
