I did wonder why I'm not really get emotional involved in Andromeda yet. There is a possible reason for it. My RL got some weeks ago a kick in the butt - heavily - twice 1.) My job is on stake .... 2.) my hubby got the diagnosis *Tumor in spinal cord* A surgery was immediate and unavoidable to avoid a complete paraplegia soon. It was even for the specialists in the University Hospital a challenge to get rid of it. And it was a long and difficult surgery. More then 8.5 hrs - all was possible. From a stroke, to complete paraplegia and even death. They removed his spinal bones to get to the tumor. Under constant watch of his nerves and neurological things they did remove the most of this thing. Some needed to stay cause it is to close-knit to the spinal cord. It is called a Lipom and on this place ( inner spinal ) very rare., but its a good nature tumor ! The Prof. told us it will to 80 % not come back. All in all the last couple of weeks are like walking on broken glass. Now I am just grateful and relieved - it will be a long hard way back before his left leg ( its atm numb and he can't walk ) doing his job of walking right again. It needs patience and strong will - which he has. So yes - I think I have maybe no emotion left for a game

ladyaly: I can see how those real life circumstances would be of influence on how immersed you feel in a game. Those things take up a lot of your energy. I really hope things will work out all right for you and your husband and I hope your husband will have a speedy recovery *hug*

SO - my job is at stake as stated before, but now my Boss had a heart surgery - and I have all the problems on my responsibility, too. Sometimes I feel I am so stressed out I can't bear it any longer. Consequence is insomnia and always dead tired. Not a good sign I assume. I try to get through 'til June. My Boss should be able to fully be back then - and my hubby is doing very well so far. He can walking already on a walking frame and soon on 2 ... mmh how is it called ? crutches ?
I have to stay healthy and strong 'til then for sure.

More or less - This year is a pretty wild ride. At least I had 1 week off end of June. Boss is again away for 4 weeks now and the situation in our business is dire. I fear a burnout on my side and try to prevent all I can to stay cool and not to strong emotional evolved. I am just happy that my hubby made really progress with learning to use his left leg again. Sometimes he can walk with a small support from me holding his hand. Our goal is to go through all this 'til September and then taking 2 weeks off to fly to Sardinia

I can imagine. Seems annoying that your boss is gone for so long. Especially when things are that stressful. I hope September comes round soon. Some time to get away from it all is good, because really the last thing you need is a burnout. I'm glad that your husband is making so much progress at least Take good care, ladyaly

well - he is making Holidays for 4 1/2 weeks. He does need this - he said. Part of me can understand his wish after the heart surgery to go away - but the other part are angry, and terrible stressed. And to cap all of this - he just gave me the stuff he always didn't make and said - You can do this in 4 weeks ... Its important stuff, agreements and follow new laws from germany... *sigh* Thank you GroundSquirrel = I try to take care as good as I can

When you feel like your life around you is starting to fall apart and you get buried in the pieces, it's not easy to dig back up. It's good to try to find the happiness in all the little things that you still have around. No matter how bleak things look, there are still lots of things to be happy about. I wish you and your husband all the strength, happiness and recovery. I pray that your husband will recover quickly and strength for you.
I think I know what you are going through. Stay strong!

So many thanks to you both - it means a lot to me And I think you both have that experience like me, in such parts of life you learn rather quick who your true friends are. Also life tells you a lesson - if you like it or not - it shows how breakable all is, just in case you forgot it.

Update isn't really good. Hubby is fighting heavy pain attacks - the tumor in his spine is still far to big .... Its hard to help a person which starts to get depressive. Also my Job - just right now it looks the office will be closed in between the next 12 month.... No mind for playing - but it helps a bit to get a distance between all the damn stuff it happens this year to my life.

I'm sorry to read all this, ladyaly It's really not helping when life feels like it has to throw all kinds of crap at you at the same time. I really hope things will turn around for you both soon. And I hope you both have at least some good support dealing with this ***hug***

Back from Vacation - and it did wonders. Sardinia was great - a wonderful Island. Hubby got a LOT better. It was good to have distance from all the mess we had to bear with. I look much more optimistic into the future atm Hope you both are fine. I read and look at the things you 2 post, but I'll not going to play ME:A. Biggest reason is the fact they do not give us any new stuff or DLC

Back from Vacation - and it did wonders. Sardinia was great - a wonderful Island. Hubby got a LOT better. It was good to have distance from all the mess we had to bear with. I look much more optimistic into the future atm Nice to hear! I guess the weather was nice and warm there? Unlike here... I'll be going to Japan next month - haven't been in Asia (or outside Europe) in ages. Really looking forward to it. Hope you both are fine. I read and look at the things you 2 post, but I'll not going to play ME:A. Biggest reason is the fact they do not give us any new stuff or DLC Quite understandable... It does look like ME is not on EA's radar at the moment. It would be about time for KOTOR3 though since Star Wars is hot again.

ladyaly : Glad your vacation worked out well at least. Hope it helped to recharge your battery. So I guess this means we're no longer getting any updates on Yvette huh? This forum and playing ME:A have pretty much been the only reason that I haven't completely gone insane.
