All my best to you, Izno!  As I’m sure you know, feeling down after heart surgery is common, and the meds can contribute to it.  It’s a slow process, but I wish you steady recovery.  Stop by when you can.

Glad to hear your recovery is going well, Izno (apart from the pulled muscle, but that’s a temporary issue).

It’s not uncommon for a shift in interests and activities to occur after such an invasive operation. Sometimes it’s temporary, sometimes it’s more permanent. Because of the increased oxygen flood after the operation, because of the medication, because of tiny blood clots from the operation itself causing minor damage, etc. Totally natural and nothing to worry about.

Good luck with the recovery, get well, and know that AG isn’t going anywhere, so we’ll be right here when/if you return.

Take care!

I think a decreased interest in adventure games is a sure sign of decreased blood flow to the brain, isn’t it?

Mini-strokes due to blood clots. Smile


Nah, the increase in oxygen could make Izno want to go on adventures himself instead of playing games about them. Cool
Or not.
I’m just repeating stuff I heard a top surgeon say on TV, I don’t know WTF I’m talking about…  Innocent

Thanks for posting Iznogood - & your ‘sick note’ Thumbs Up is a little late! but I can’t think of a better excuse for ‘failing your duty’ on AGSotD Laughing & please don’t be so hasty with your resignation! I’ve enjoyed all of your screenshots along with the interesting descriptions. (apart from that one never to be mentioned again!) I’m sure I’m not the only one! 

It’s not surprising that you’ve lost the “spark / will / interest ...” to post on AGSotD as it can happen to anyone for a while without even worries about their health - the brain works in mysterious ways!

I am very close to someone who went through serious surgery as you have & know that recovering physically is far quicker than getting over the emotional/psychological trauma of it which can take months up to a couple of years ! Both Lady Kestrel & TimovieMan have reiterated this in their posts so it really is too soon for you to make a decision Iznogood! (& probably even know where your head’s at!)

Meanwhile I’ll try & look after your day for a while with the intention of keeping your inspirational seasonal theme with the hope that your ‘spark’ might come back eventually! Just say when & carry on! Smile 

NB But if anyone else is interested in ‘looking after’ the Wednesday slot before that please post here!  Smile

There is also the option that I took, which is sharing a day with someone, until Iz returns. You did it two days a week for a year. Karlok did it five days a week for a year. I did it one day a week for a year and found myself burning out. Hope some peeps out there will step forward and take up half the load. And it doesn’t matter if it’s “topic-oriented.” Just posting your favorite screenshots from your favorite games is enough.

Standing up and applauding in the rafters. Think you and chrissie need to work out the details. But it sounds great.

AGSOTD has been here forever. Or so it seems. Good to know that there is interest in seeing it continue. Bravo Advie, and chrissie, and everyone else.

Yep, get well soon Izno, take all the time you need.

It might seem a million miles away at the moment but just maybe that “adventuring” spirit will be back one of these days with a vengence! Smile

The idea at the moment Advie is just to ‘fill in’ on Wednesdays giving Iznogood the opportunity to take over the slot at any time he feels up to it but okay…..
as it’s the final day of summer I will post a screenshot later & then you are free to take over from next week.

I’m sorry I’m not keen on the one week on & one week off, yes, I know it works for Tim & Oscar but it doesn’t suit me so perhaps someone else would like to involve themselves in that arrangement. Alternatively would you like to post one month on & one month off if you don’t want the full commitment of taking over completely? which is more appealing to myself.  Smile

NB Sorry Advie, I forgot to add my thanks for offering to contribute to the thread!  Thumbs Up

Thanks, it’s not a new avatar though, I’ve had it for years & it’s one that was designed for me by a now deceased member on another forum which I’m using temporarily until I can sort out my current & very trivial ‘identity crisis’ - I believe it’s the goddess Bastet Laughing NB what does ‘Mau’ mean?  Smile

Great! You’re willing to try one month on & one off to see how it goes - I’m interested to see what you’re going to post!  Thumbs Up So you’re going to start next Wednesday - yes!  Smile

Thanks for the kind wishes everybody.

And I’m glad that Chrissie and Advie are willing to take over, and also curious to see what Advie is planning.
