Apologies for the personal nature of this post but I wonder if anyone has been in contact with vanislander recently?
We had an arrangement to meet up last sunday but he didnt show nor has he opened a couple pm's I sent his way (my only way of contacting him).
Probably nothing but I'd like to know things are okay with him. |

His sudden & utter silence continues to perplex me.
I dont know vanislander well but I've met him & we've corresponded. I'm a bit concerned.
Anyone else here had contact, or maybe knows where he was based on Geojedo & could check in on him? |

| Perhaps the isolation became too much for him, he hit the wall, took the midnight flit, and is, even as we speak, sitting on Lamai Beach with a fat spliff between his lips. (Oh, no, that's my fantasy.) Seriously, I hope you manage to hook up. |

| VI is from Vancouver Island. I think his father is back home and retired, it may be that he had to go to Canada very suddenly. He is not the kind of person to miss an appointment for no reason and then disappear. Hopefully all is well with him and his family. |

Maybe he fell in love with Geojedo so much that he just can't stay inside his house.....
I hope he is Ok though.... |

Hello! 
I'm back in Korea, back on my feet, and back at it. Thanks to all for the concern.

Quite the opposite. I spent the latter half of April and first half of May in my apartment sicker than a jindo gae in a clobbering sack, at least it felt like it.
The foot I broke jumping off of a cliff in New Zealand refused to heal, became swollen and sore as could be, up the leg and with back and chest pains that resulted in what I considered to be mild heart attacks but which one doctor diagnosed as nerve damage in my leg and spine, requiring expensive tests to be sure, which came back negative; another doctor said I had a series of strokes and recommended exploratory surgery (I kid you not!); a third doctor (after being totally unsatisfied with the first two) said I had a viral infection of the chest which was totally unrelated to my foot and lower leg pain, which was related to but different from the bronchial pneumonia I had at the time (many ESLers get sick in the spring, in April I got something as well). Basically, that doctor said my heart was sick and I'd get better. He prescribed antibiotics and rest, which I did, even though I could only sleep for an hour at a time before pain woke me up, or the constantly paralyzing (falling asleep) sensation in one arm or another, not to mention the foooot pain. I went to work a few days each week, with the director understanding each time I had to stop teaching in the middle of a class, and I often didn't make it to the end of my shift. I spent no time in the PC room and my home computer had a major virus of its own, or some sort of hacking, spyware gunk which kept RPC (Remote Procedure call) as sooon as I booted up, starting a 60 second clock before the computer shut down and I had to pull the plug each time to prevent who knows what from ha | |
