AOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooohhhhhhhooOooooooooow
Greetings! WOLF PACK !
I'm a new cub here and wanted to thank our leaders for accepting my membership to the Pack. I was actually led to us by HB(horriblebreast), who spoke very highly of the squadron, and once I did some homework on the Pack, it was a no-brainer.
My loyalty will never be in doubt to any of you. Mark my words. My goals are simple. Become the best pilot and leader I can be, never forget where I came from, and treat people the way I want to be treated, on my way to becoming a force to be reckoned with in the air.
I am 51 years young. Love the game. I play on an Android device, but not a tablet ( which would certainly help me see better, and improve my stats to the black)
A short history will help those of you understand my side of life somewhat. In 2011, I married the woman of my dreams. A beautiful, kind, family loving, God praising woman who has changed my views about life. Life was good until she had a stroke at the age of 47, in June of 2013. She did not suffer the typical losses of stroke sufferers in terms of mobility, rather in sight, going blind in one eye and losing her balance quite often. Daily therapy since that day has allowed her eyesight to almost return to normal minus seemingly permanent periferal vision loss. She's a fighter. Taking care of my bride is my lifes focus, so if I don't fly for a few days, rest assured that she is in my care during those times.
Until recently, my own health has been excellent. 4 months ago, while at work, I developed a pain in my right foot while climbing a ladder. I didnt think much of it, since life had been pain free, and I continued on. Long story short,at the urging of my wife, I saw a doctor who sent me for tests. It seems I had superficial veins leaking blood into my legs which ended up causing fatigue in my legs. Upon further investigation, I was found to have blood clots behind both of my knees, which I am currently being treated for. So far treatments have been unsuccessful in an attemot to "bust" the clots. I am scheduled for blood transfusions if all else fails, and possible surgeries to implant screens to catch any part of the clots that do break loose.
In closing, I simply ask that my pack brothers and sisters keep my wife and I in your thoughts, and if so inclined, in your prayers. I thank you for taking time to read my intro.
Fly well.
Fear not the darkness. For when it is just dark enough,then, and only THEN, will you begin to see the light of the stars.
Your Brother
James
