Trust me, I know what I speaking of...
Dr.
Last week or so, I noticed a player with "paulo" nick, probably on the FRA vanilla server.
I tried to chat with him in the chat box asking about his health and well being, but he did not reply at all..
and he was more involved in driving APCs and stuff like that
Can't be sure if it was "ROGER THAT" paulo or some other paulo
Hi all,
No jime1, it wasn't me. All who knows me, know I would reply and would be friendly.
Sorry for the long time without knews. My mood is not as used to be. Long time without coming to Simple forum.
Being at home all days, rarely going out, too much careful needed. Once or twice a week I go out to a park, always with some family (can't be alone for now), to walk a bit in a nature envirement. Still with low sensibility in feet and hands. Still forbiden to go to malls, shops, restaurants, cinemas, etc.
Unfortunately, I have to be submited to another agonized bone marrow transplant. More weeks hospitalized.
It must be done due to a few factors, i will not boring you with details.
It must be done between 3 to 6 months after the 1st one.
So, the fight will go on. But to be honest, I'm tired of this situation, can't eat this, can't eat that... too much carefull with everything...
Anyways, thank you all. All the best to you guys.
Cheers,
Paulo
Update.
After 3 weeks hospitalized, finaly I'm at home.
For now (maybe first 3 months), I can't leave home unless to go to hospital. The good thing is that I don't go to waiting rooms anymore.
In this stage, I have specific waiting rooms away from people. The blood analisys are also in specific rooms, away from big rooms with lots of people. As my Imunitary system memory was erased (as many things), my body is behaving like a baby, learning everything from new.
One odd thing was my lost of taste aswell, weird, very weird. First time I eat or drink something is strange, not the savour my brain remembered.
I can't eat and drink many things. Everything must be boiled and cooked at the moment and nothing of leftovers.
Feel very tired and nervous. Sleep, or at least I'm in bed or siting down usualy more than 23 hours.
Btw, while in hospital they attached a catheter between my neck and my shoulder, wiyh three pipes.
One of them was to colect blood every days at 6AM, the other two was always inserting many liquids in my body.
The catheter pipe was linked to my heart with a 10cm tube.
Anyways, its over now. Long recovering and periodic exams and analisys to try to control the beast.
Cheers,
Paulo
Hi all,
Small update.
As you know, I was hospitalized April the 9th.
11 and 12 I've got that crazy hard chemoterapy. Just for curiosity, regular levels are 45ml per day of it. I've got 450ml on thursday and more 450ml on wednesday. Had 1 day rest just with some liquids in my catheter ( placed between my neck and my shoulder with three exits).
On friday, got my own bone marron (the one with good cells, removed a few weeks earlier), about 1 liter.
Untill monday, things went quite well, I even joined RtR+SW server a few times.
But after that.... Man... 2 agonized weeks with all my body trying to get all my weak parts.
that chemo destroyed the bad, but also got down all my body defenses,
All my levels were like a baby when born, very low. In my room is not possible to open windows, it's sealed, when door is open, there is a device that push the room's air outside never leting outiside air comes in. Only one visitor and he/she must come in with gloves, mask and gown.
Will not tell more secondary effects I have had those 2 weeks, they were too many, no need of that.
Feeling a bit better now, at least I can type
The beast did not gone but at least is sleeping and I hope for many years.
Thank you all for your kind words and for the strenght.
Will stay at Hospital for a few days/weeks to recover with my new hair cut, yes head and pubic hair were gone LOL.
See you soon guys,
Paulo
Thanks for all the tips guys.
Finaly, my son in law fixed the issue related with resolution and I can play now.
See you soon,
Paulo
P.S. I'm in bed at hospital now, the real deal has began.
I will check it.
Thank you guys.
You have enabled DirectPlay in Windows ?
Hi Dink,
Yes, DirectPlay is enabled.
Paulo
Hi all,
Thanks again for the support.
Next monday, April 9th, I will be hospitalized.
First week will be quite hard, will be under heavy and agressive chemotherapy.
As I said before, I will take my laptop to hospital. Unfortunately, after install all the BF1942 stuff, it doesn't launch.
It desplays a black screen for half a second, but then, doesn't execute the game.
My laptop is an HP SGH8TQ28 with Windows10 with the following speccys,
BTW, I have BF1942 running fine at home and had it running well aswell in my shop. Both with Windows10 installed.
So, any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Paulo
Update
Hi all,
Phase 2 is over now.
I was hospitalized for 4 days to remove my own bone marrow.
During 5 days, I had to inject two times a day in my belly, a stimulater for bone marrow produce more blood.
During two days, I was linked to a machine for 5 hours each time. Machine divided the blood in plasma, platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells.
After some filtering, the machine chosed the good cells from each one, collected them and joined all four again to a container.
Now, if I had produce enough and healthy blood, I will be hospitalized again for at least 1 month, get a very agressive (it will destroy bad and unfortunately some good things aswell) chemotherapy in order to make an auto transplant of my bone marrow removed earlier.
Upside is that I was, and I will be in a private room on 7th floor with view to Lisbon-Almada bridge and king christ statue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDey4RNfaAw with A/C, internet and a 40" LED TV with cable channels.
Waiting for phase 3 now. I don't want to be lame, but aside from family, you are the only ones who I share this moment of my life.
BTW, I will take my laptop with me and try to play, while hospitalized.
Cheers,
Paulo
Thank you all, again, for the support.
@dary
Thank you for your tips, some of them are similar to my daughter's.
In Portugal, we have a national health care system, albeight I have an health insurance, I am not using it.
The reason I'm not using it, it is because, cancer patients in my country don't pay anything.
Just for curiosity, my 12 chemotherapy sessions so far, had the cost of 24000€ (supported by the government) . Now imagine the cost of all the exams, analysis, and pills I have mentioned before, if we didn't have this national system.
Cheers,
Paulo
UPDATE 4
Hi all,
On January 2nd, started the 3rd cycle of more 4 chemio sessions (every 3 days), this time the 1st one it was a mix of 2 chemiotherapy.
1 subcutaneous injection in belly and the other was a 30 minutes intravenous in my arm, along with the daily +20 pills.
Next step is the final exam named PET. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_ … tomography
I will keep the fight and try to join RtR+SW, when I feel that I will not play like a huge dumb.
Best whishes for all, for a happy new year full of success, peace and health.
Cheers,
Paulo
UPDATE 3
Hi,
I just left my chemiotheraty 1st cycle, having one week resting of 20 dailly pills (without counting SOS pills; pain, relaxing, sleeping and motion siknes).
Next Tuesday, will begin 2nd cycle of 12 days chemio, every 3 days.
At the moment I am at home, Doctor don't allow me to make Christmas shoping and to go out there, even to lunch or dinner.
She just forbiden me to be outside. My immunity system is half under the minimun parameters levels right now.
Howhever, I don't have AIDS, Herpes, Sifilis and hepatitis.
As my tumours don't produce anti-corps, I have to make blood analysis every single weeks.
I will have to do another biopsy to mine bone marrow, this time in my chest, Doctor wants to know what is happening with my body genetics
because, exams and analyses just don't match with my ilness.
Right now, I am most of the time seasick, confused, tired and with lots of pain.
I just want to get my bazooka and shoot those damn bugs, that for now got 35% damage of my bones.
I will keep the fight tho, family is helping me and my female cats are a huge company.
Cheers,
Paulo
Thank you all for your kind words and for the strength you give me.
UPDATE 2
Made some more X-Rays, Dr. wants to see the extention of damage on the bones eaten by the tumours.
Made one biopsy to the bone marrow, went well.
The biopsy to the bowl was quite hard, the appliance that collects 3 cm of bone in depth didn't cut it well.
So, Dr. had to fracturate the bowl a bit in that spot to release the biopsy. It was hell.
Next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, will have 4 sessions of 3 hours each of injecting cortizone
in my body, as a preparation to start chemotherapy.
So, today I will be in RtR+SW for a few hours, but I guess I will be back only on next Friday.
Cheers,
Paulo
- UPDATE
Hi all,
I will just summarize the subject.
My blood, due a disease, is planting tumours on my bones, for now in both femurs, hips, spine and shoulder blades. The good new is that all organs are not contaminated yet. Even tho, they could be in future if I didn't make all these exams in order to attack the disease.
I must do more byopsis to my bowl and my bone marrow and a few more exams.
Next step is chemotherapy mixed with radiotherapy (this mix is due to the bones that are already being 'eaten' by tumours), and then Bone marrow transplant.
Tommorow and Friday , two more days at Hospital and wainting.
Cheers,
Paulo
P.S.: All Doctors have said to me - Paulo you must be distracted, try to do something you like and focus on that.
We will take care of you, no matter the time we need.
Therefore, at least today, you will meet me at RtR+SW.
At least for now.
Thank you all for your kind words and support, means a lot to me.
Next week many exams, then the final diagnosis will be maybe at November 6.
I will update whenever have news.
Cheers,
Paulo
Hi all,
A few months ago I've started to walk limp with some pain, on the right leg.
Thought it would be something that would fixed for itself.
Last month decided to go to an Orthopedist and check what the hell it was.
After X-rays and ultrasound, Doctor said to me: - Paulo you have both Femur Heads weared and your right Femur cut you meniscus (tendon). Now I want you to make a Magnetic Resonance Imaging to your right hip and upper femur.
Went to Doctor one week later and he said.
- Paulo, watch my PC screen please. Unfortunatly you have a few tumours on your hip and your femur.
I wil send you to an expert Doctor.
Went to the Doctor yesterday, now he wants me to make some blood analysis, computerized axial tomography, two biopsys (one to hip and one to femur) and an exam that i will be injected with a liquid, that liquid takes 3 hours to get to all my body and then will go inside the machine (Nuclear Medecin), to detect all stupid bad things.
Doctor want to be sure that all my bones are not contaminated.
Now I wait.
Just wanted to share this here, because after so many months with you, I am sure that some of you will pray for me. Those that I know they will wish the best for me. Those that I care for them also and developed almost a trully friendship.
Cheers,
Paulo
Clearly I am being targeted for my political beliefs. Several admins have said that.
Sunshine has insulted me several times while she was admin.
Basically I was banned because I said "pick my cotton". This is ridiculous!
Admins here abuse the "chat spam" penalty, anything they don't like counts as "chat spam".
I have never been criticised for my game play and I am often #1 or Top 3.
Again: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GAMEPLAY, JUST WITH WHAT I SAY POLITICALLY.
Bans should be for those who TK on purpose, not those that hold different opinions. This communist stuff has to go.
Hi T-BONE,
When you are playing, just focus on playing fair and having fun.
This way all players will have fun and you'll be not kicked or banned, for being desrespectfull.
It is really SIMPLE.
IMHO, you are having too much atention than you deserve.
Paulo
Very sad. My deap condolences.
I believe I've got the CD game in 2003, played for a few months always offline.
TBH, CD was in a shell untill last year when I installed it in a PC in my shop, for those moments without costumers.
Since then, play almost all day (with many costumers and phone interruptions)
Finally, 3 weeks ago, installed at home aswell to play at weekends, when wife have work shifts.
But only when is not running at TV Motors Sports
Cheers,
Paulo

Same here, i gave multiple kicks.
Sad but true.
Gave him a few kicks aswell by disruptive playing, stacking and inappropriate language.
When I've meat him about one year ago, he seemed to be a fine player.
Really hope he just begin to behave better.
Hi Notapix,
It was me who banned you for 1 day.
The reason was attacking with kills, allies main base at Mimoyecques.
As you have been playing RtR+SW for a while, you have seen a lot of warnings for no attacking enemys main bases.
See you soon.
Cheers,
Paulo
Turn on PC
Select BF1942
Launch game

That link is from admin section ..1. I don't think some have access to that section 2. Not sure it's the best idea to be posting links to admin forum in open forum?
Please forgive if I have spoken out of turn
You're right. I have deleted the link. Sorry for the slip.

Let's hope for a quick fix.

This person, we know him by many names, does nothing but complain, call people names, and teamwound/sfv. You give him a short rope and he hangs himself. Every time.
He was doing the usual lame troll today morning at Essen.
He asked if he could steal an enemy plane from Allies base (as he didn't know), we said no, you can't.
And he started an argue. Told him to take a look at rules in SIMPLE forum, he replyed that he doesn't read forums. -.-
A complete waste of time IMO.
Cheers,
Paulo
I hope admin of this server will die from cancer. Bye.
Not nice, not nice at all!
Hi Horus,
Please make sure you read the rules carefuly.
Yesterday you were droping bombs at enemys main base at Salerno, even after a warning.

Hi Lawliet,
Welcome to Simple forum, at last.
Cheers,

P.S.: Thank you Abas and Paul
Hi,
Today morning I have banned for 15 mnts a player named abderahmane for DIS and TK at Essen.
2 mnts later he was joined server, then map ended.
Next map at Eagles Nest, I asked him how did he evaded the ban, Lawliet who was playing saw that aswell and asked me if I didn't have banned the player.
Unfortunately I had to exit server, but before, banned abdrahmane for 1 day.
Now, 2 hours later he is at Kbely Airfield playing. Isn't evading a ban a very bad behavior?
Just wanted you guys know it.
Cheers,
Paulo
Pls unban,plssss server good
Completely agree with you, SIMPLE servers are good.
That's why Admins have the task to keep servers as better as possible.
Few days ago, I've kicked you at Essen for SFV and Twounding and I saw you been kicked by others Admins aswell.
Enjoy the 3 days and do what Arkos sugested, read the rules.
See you soon.
Cheers,
Paulo
