After reading the post, I couldn't contain the emotion and tears began to fall from my eyes. I have no idea how much discomfort you are currently experiencing, but I have faith that the procedure will go well and benefit everyone involved. I wish I could help you financially, but at this time I am unable to do so. Nevertheless, I promise to always pray for you to have a successful operation. I always hope the best for you.

Thank you and do not worry about helping financially. I do not want those that need the money just as much as me to suffer to help out.

I may not know you personally, but working with you has made it appear as if I do. I really wish you a speedy recovery and will continue to remember you in my prayers. I also appreciate the advice to get checked because I now realize how crucial it is. I also wish you a successful surgery when the time comes, you are a lovable person keep doing good.

Thank you

Woah

I've had a feeling that something has happened in the past years - I don't/didn't know when - but I couldn't think that it was this bad.
So sorry man. Stay strong and get well. Good luck with the surgery.

I can guess that it won't be an easy Christmas this year, but I certainly hope you'll celebrate it more properly (ok, without alcohol, but still...) in February!

Take the bright side of the situation: you've found out before it was too late.
Believe in your chance and, yeah, I'll be repeating that, stay strong!

Thank you, I have had 1 beer since october 21st 2021. Christmas will be a time to be with family and enjoy each other as we never know how long we may have with 1 another.

First i joined the forum i noticed your name in many places here, And everyone was talking good about you and how hard working you always been. I have got a chance to work with you if you remember https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387195
You were always good to the team and we had much fun together, you even raised my weekly salary as i remember and that was my first experience in moderating communities, i learned a lot from you that worth so much i dont know how to thank you. I seen the pictures you shared with us those days in hospital when you were getting checked so nobody will think you are faking it. You have been always honest and helpful
I hope i can help you more but all i can for now is my prayer for you to heal soon and that everything goes well for you, you are always an example of honesty and hard working!
Plus i will take your advice even that Im still young but i will do my best to check on my health whenever i could thank you boss and bless you

Thank you and of course I remember you.

Let's hope I survive this surgery, and everything is fine this time. I'm obviously going to have many obstacles to deal with at that time, but I'm optimistic that I'll be able to get through. Insurance covers some of the costs of the testing and medicines, but not gas, food, hotel rooms if overnight stays, or lost wages from my wife taking days off. I'm not asking for donations or anything, but I do have a bitcoin address in my profile if anyone wants to help out they can. I have been communicating with a few on here that know my story. Jayce, condoras, hopenotlate, and a couple others can confirm this all to be true.

Hi yahoo62278, I don't know you closely and we are only connected in this forum but my prayers are always with you, there is nothing else I wish for you other than the healing you get and the success of your surgery, your healing is everything. keep reminding your wife to take care of her health because women have big worries about their partners.

Why post this you ask? The main reason is to show you that even though some of you think I am lucky and probably live a rich and lavish life, I am human and have everyday problems like all of you. If you'll notice, my issues are hereditary meaning passed on from my family. I urge all of you to get checked and get your kids checked. Whether it be mental health or physical health, it is very important to make sure you are in the best condition you can be in. Don't put it off, get tested ASAP. Not all issues will be obvious and can only be found through testing.

If this story helps 1 person I will feel it was worth it to share my story. I hope anyone who takes the time to read all of this will also take the time to make an appointment and get checked.

this is very true, periodic health checks are very important, I also do that and some dangerous diseases can be detected early.

Thank you. I cannot stress to everyone how important getting checked is. It could be the difference between life and death.

Fucking hell mate.. I don't know what to wish and say, but this is the life. I just hope you will move on, beat this challenge and ya..that's about it. I do remember as well when my dad died, I was 17, getting close to 30 I started as well having some health issues, but nothing as close to yours. Now being over 30, no more drinking, no more nights not slept just because of focusing only on work.
I don't believe in God at all, but, sometimes, either you consider fate to be god, it's all about God's wish.

Good luck and all the best!

Thank you

@yahoo62278 after reading your whole topic I also may wanna share some of my life story ,
My story is that I was also born with a rare disease and it's called Hemophilia. It's a genetic disorder till now there is no permanent cure for it although it has been found out recently and its cost is 3.5 million us dollars, and it is now the most expensive vaccine in the world. And if this happens, the pain of your mild injury will last for a long time, if you cut somewhere in the body in an accidental injury, its bleeding does not clot easily. Now I am only 17yrs old, I am a student of college (computer department) in this I have to be admitted to hospital 4/5 times every year. So my disease is not such that it will kill me, and also it will not allow me to live well, for not get injured since childhood so I have not played sports and now I have to try to do something to move myself where I will not be physically injured by that work, and in the meantime, the forum came infornt of me and So now I think I need to gain knowledge from the forum, I am looking for an income source to live, this is my life. And that's my simple living high thinking .
And I heard your name as one the best manager of this forum after entering the forum and since then the dream has increased following you. I also pray for everyone that everyone can lives a healthy life and also pray for you Because I know what is the meaning of a healthy life .

Aww, sorry to hear that you suffer with such an illness. 3.5m holy hell. Noone has that unless they're Elon Musk. Is there no way to get Insurance to pay for it? I hope you can get it figured out.

Thank you for sharing, I have never been the type to visit the hospital for checkups, reading this made me realize I have been carefree with my health. You made us remember we are humans behind the keyboards too, we should be nice to each other because you never know what the next man is going through until he speaks up. You have carried the burden well, I doubt many persons here knew what was going on before now. I never imagined that youre going through so much and still putting up with forum activities consistently, managing bounty and signature campaigns is a tough job and you done yours elegantly. I wish you a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Thank you

As some of you know, I have been dealing with a lot in my life over the past 2 years. Honestly, I have been dealing with it a lot longer, but the last 2 years have been where it has gotten a little scarier than the rest.

Sorry to hear this news about your health condition... I had no idea this was happening to you especially since you have been fairly active in forum all this time, and I didn't notice your absence.
Hang in there and please update your health status after next operation, but I am hoping everything will be good in the end.
You have the support and prayers of bitcointalk community.

When you got nothing to do but lay in a hospital bed and heal, you find plenty of time to read and post on here. My laptop is probably half the reason I'm still sane. If I had to lay there and worry all day I might have lost my mind. Plan will be the same for the 2nd surgery. I will likely be a little busier as the recovery will not be exactly the same, but I will still have free time to myself daily and try to be online.

Hopefully this time you get better and recover fast. We all will be waiting to hear from you again. You have helped many in this forum, and hopefully we can help you this time. Get well soon man. We are all here with you.
that's all i can say now, i have lost words what to say.

Thank you

I remember your case, I think from 2021 when you said about a heart problem. I had a heart attack myself a little earlier, luckily for me it was milder with very few consequences.
I believed that you fixed it all and everything was under control, now I'm a little taken aback by the seriousness of your case. A heart transplant... I'd honestly be scared shitless.
I really have a lot of respect for you, I sincerely wish you a quick recovery and that everything goes well.

Thank you. I'm scared but at the same time I have to be strong for my wife and kids so it's all buried inside. Telling you guys is kind of therapeutic in its own way as well.

Quote from: TheBeardedBaby on December 19, 2022, 11:01:28 PM

Oh man... I'm wishing you from the bottom of my heart the best outcome.
I held my breath and i couldn't stop reading the post until the end. I've been though difficult timed myself those past couple of years too, in a different but still dramatic way.
You are one of the icons of the forum, and you have my respect.
I believe that you will recover completely and after many years this just gonna be a bad memory.

And people, the check ups are important, i lost my father the same way almost 10 years ago and my kids never had had the chance to meet their grandfather.

hard lesson learned the hard way and i have an appointment for the next year.

Thank you. Hopefully everything is fine now? Or will be with your future appointment.

It crushed my heart reading your story while there was a small drop of tears in my eyes knowing about your condition.
Back then (2017) when I remember, you were the first manager that I worked with and I can't forget that. I'll try to help you financially by this next week as much as I can, a little amount that only I can afford. I respect you as my first manager here in the forum and you've my sympathy.

There's a lesson in this story that you've shared, we should give value to our health not becomes it's too late or becomes complicated, regular check-ups should it must than knowing it's too late and it becomes complicated.

Just pray and don't forget to call and speak to God, merciful Jesus will give us a trial but won't let us suffer once we call his name.
Just surrender to him your problem and will surely hear your voice. If I know your true name, we will pray for you and ask for the fastest healing together with my brothers and sisters in the church.

More power to you sir @yahoo62278 and thank you for this advice.

Thank you

I am speechless after reading the post. Regardless of what you yourself might say it really does take a lot of courage to put out that much of your private life out there to such a public and open forum. I sympathise with you in the situation you find yourself in.

In a country such as USA where medical care is not provided universally free, it makes you wonder why successive governments spend billion of USD$ on foreign aid and defence when they cannot look after their own citizens aptly.

I hope the operation is a success and hope to see you posting around the forum as you have so for many years.

Thank you. I have spoken with some from Canada where medical is paid for and it's not a perfect system. Apparently they can control what surgeries you can and cannot get. So Idk if I would like that or not. My surgery is going to cost over a million dollars but Insurance will cover a good chunk of that.
