Thanks to all for the concern. I'm not — yet — six feet under!
Perhaps when a player has foreknowledge of a Chihuahua absence, a private notice could be sent to Alan. And he could signal us (without tipping off the cyber bandits) that all is well, or not.
Unfortunately, my absence was completely unplanned.
IIRC (my recollection is quite hazy), the absence began with a computer crash about the same time changes to my prescriptions went less well than expected. Among the side effects has been (and continues to be) insomnia and brain fog. One consequence of the insomnia was wandering about the house at night (in a daze) and sometimes dozing off whilst on my feet, resulting in falls with injuries — like into the corner of a metal filing cabinet. But the worst was a backwards fall with my back too close to a wall for my leg to move freely: a broken fibula in the ankle area requiring surgery to insert screws and a plate. Now I'm struggling just to get around the house and only go out for doctor appointments. I am fortunate to have a wife who takes such good care of me!
I'm (slowly) rebuilding my computer's OS and have begun to catch up on Forum messages. It was much appreciated to see concern expressed. It will probably be some time before I regularly resume playing the Chihuahua games as the brain fog makes the game difficult.
