Official WD City of Heroes Thread

Sorry I haven't been around much in the last couple days. I woke up yesterday with blurry vision. Wasn't sure why and thought it would go away after a couple hours. It didn't. So I go to the doctor. While he examines my eyes, he discovers that I have some cholesterol plaque on one of the arteries of my right eyeball. He told me it's rare for someone my age to have that. He even took photos of my eyes with this really high-tech computer camera thing that displayed my eye ball in full 32 bit color on a large 19" lcd. It was great! But it was also an eye opener *so to speak*.

Doctor told me I need to quit smoking NOW! Nobody can prove it's the smoking or my bad diet or the combo of all of the above,.. but I'm not ruling anything out. When he told me to quit smoking,.. I said, "Ok". Then before the eye photo I went out,.. had my last smoke and called it quits.

It's now been 1 full day (over 24 hours) and so far I'm doing fine. Been a little fidgety and have had some cravings here and there,.. but all in all doing well and trying to get through the next two weeks of this quitting smoking process. So yesterday at the doctor all day,.. been up in Sac all day today at a Microsoft seminar,.. and now here I am.

Lets' review:
1> I have cholesterol plaque on the artery of my right eyeball
2> I have an appointment to go see an optometrist to get glasses
3> I have quit smoking and have been successful for over 24 hours now
4> I have to see a medical doctor to get blood work done
5> I have to learn how to eat healthy food
6> I probably will have to start excersizing
7> I think this has a lot to do with me being glued to the computer, barely making time for anything else, eating only snacks, drinking only coke, smoking and no excersize. And more so than ever in the last 6 months.

Nyway,.. a new Wrbby has been born. Right now, the new Wrbby is still a little weak to temptation and a bit fragile,.. but within the next few months a newer, better, stronger Wrbby will begin to evolve. I will still play CoH. But I can't play in the heavy doses that I have been playing because I have health risks now that I am aware of and I have to spend more time doing physical activity so that I don't get worse. Right now I honestly don't know how I am going to manage the time I spend on the computer vs the time I spend away from the computer,... but there has to be some adjustments made one way or another. Just wanted to let you guys know. Wish me luck. :)

Even better than that - I'll be praying for you, bud. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif


How will the cholesterol level diminish?

No surgery to remove the deposits? :confused:



BTW, did you get a copy of that eye picture? You're entitled to it, you know. :p

Thank you :)

The cholesterol will not diminish, or at least it will be very difficult. The best thing I can do is to keep it from getting worse. I'm kinda lucky to have caught it early.

No surgery, no removal. Just gonna have to live with it for now.

No,.. I didn't get a copy. Am I really entitled to it? They were awesome pix actually. Would be great wallpaper. :D

Thanks a bunch, for ur support you guys. However,.. I mainly posted this just so that if you guys don't see me on CoH as much you'll know I might be out joggin a few laps around the block or something. I don't want you to think I'm losing interst in it or anything odd like that.

And just to clarify,.. I definately won't be quitting CoH. Just allowing less time for myself to sit at a computer after work. But first I'm focusing on the next few days of quitting smoking,.. but all the other stuff has to follow soon too.

Anyway,... enough about WRbby's eyeball. Carry on! :D

Glad to hear you're OK and that morale is high. ;)

Good luck with the quitting smoking.

I don't know about the US, but in Canada patients are entitles to copies of their entire health records, files. We used to do that at the hosptal where I used to works with any imaging system records which needed to be seen by other specialists or for which the patient needed a copy.

You could ask - maybe even let him burn it to a CD for ya. :cool:



So. Hum. You going to be available for tomorrow's TF? :D

Yeah,.. I can do the TF.

What kind of assistance do you require to make that happen?

Would a simple phone call to your place of employment suffice?




:p

keep "Sliverfang" in mind, scrapper, good player. he's a friend of mine and will hold his own in battle. on thew plus side...he does not have a life, therefore, he's in for the long haul ;)

on another note, i have this power, conserve power, that has an extremely long recharge rate. if i slot that thing like 3-4 times and put in reduce recharge rate in every one of them, will they all affect it? or is there a limit to enhancing, and will multiple enh. of the same kind be profitable or not?

i checked out a few sites, but haven't seen anything about it?

You can only put 6 slots on your powers, and although some of the ENH will stack and give you more benefit, there are limits to how much you can enhance some powers. In this case, you might be able to use the enhancement calculator(s) available from that Master List link I posted earlier. ;)

Using DO and SO (Single Origin) enhancements will also help a lot.

The Pool power "Hasten" might also help with the recharge times.



Sliverfang rings a bell... from the old V&V crowd? Fatespinner's other character? Have you invited him yet?

How did Faultline go last night? Intense?

went well, did 2 more missions after that, thought i would sleep but got caught up in the lveling :) teamed with some good peeps too, no morons this time. Dark Man-X was there again, might want to ask him too if he's interested-stand up guy.

sliverfang is tom's guy yes.
