Pam Brooker "Warchild"

[DC1973]

Folks,

Just letting you know here that I recently learned that Pam has been taken into hospital. I don't have much detail other than it's something to do with her aorta, so quite likely a serious condition. I'll update as soon as I know more. My building of the Millennium Falcon wasn't just a test project - Pam's a Star Wars nut and as she's been so helpful to me in building the FDEs for my Black Widow and the Reporter I decided that it would be cool to build the Falcon for her.

Keep your fingers crossed folks that she makes a full recovery and gets to see the Falcon finished...

[eddie]

I hope she will get through this ok!

[falcon409]

Thanks for the update Dean. Pam has been an integral part of the community for many years and her knowledge and passion for this hobby have been a driving force in many projects. I hope for her a positive outcome and speedy recovery.

[Anthin]

Fingers crossed here.Best wishes
Pam.

Anthin.

[MrZippy]

Good luck, Pam! Best wishes. Aorta? Sounds like an aneurysm. I had one operated on 2 years ago. Until then, I was literally a walking dead person.

[WarHorse47]

Sorry to hear.

Wishing her a speedy and safe recovery.

[stovall]

Hope all is well with Pam, keeping my fingers crossed it is nothing serious.

[Dev One]

Add me to the list of wishing her well.
Keith

[Stickshaker]

Please add me too. She helped me and FlyAndy out with the FDE for his Junkers D.I. From WWI to Star Wars, Pam can do it all.

[warchild]

Love you guys tons. Thank you for thinking of me and beig there. It seems my Aorta is completely blocked below my belly button and theres no circulation to the leg at all.. They are going to build a replacement artery for me tomorrow morning, so that i dont lose my legs. The doc says with as bad as my lungs are and my old heart, there is some risk, I admit, i'm a bit frightened. I'll be taking my thoughts of all of you with me in the morning. Wish me luck. I'll post once i'm out of the ICU.
Love ya
Pam

Not sure what time the surgery is scheduled for or where Pam resides, but with the severity of her condition I would think she'd be Priority One this morning. Praying that everything goes well and that divine guidance is with the Surgeons who look to heal her body.

I'm aware she's got some serious health issues, which makes her steadfast FSX contributions all the more poignantly appreciated.

I hope and pray she'll come out smoothly.

Hey Pam,

Will lift you up in prayer tonight at our Wednesday Prayer Meeting. The Bible says that the fervent prayers of a righteous person availeth much and we will be praying fervently for your speedy recovery. Thank you for all your help to me in the past. :tranquillity:

[PhantomTweak]

My hopes and wishes for a successful surgery, and a speedy, pain-free (as possible :D ), recovery go out to you!

I've been through my (un)fair share of surgeries. I was even dead on the table for a few minutes, when they were working on fixing up the eye the horse took. Long story. Anywho, I didn't even have a clue I had died for a bit until they told me about it. While the guy in the other half of my recovery room was coding, ie dead and they were trying to bring him back, right there and then. Makes ya wonder.
But I walked out. A little unsteadily from the pain meds, yes, but I was on my own two footsies. So stoned out, I stood in the middle of a busy street smoking a cigarette and waving happily at the cars going by.

I'll bet you will be too. I bet you'll be dancing a waltz before you know it :encouragement:
Assuming you could dance a waltz before, that is :biggrin-new:

Good luck to you, Pam, and we all look forward with bated breath to hear from you again. Positive thoughts to you!
Pat☺

[Daveroo]

Im hoping all goes well and Pam has a full recovery.see ya when ya back and at it again.

[Bjoern]

Fingers crossed for you, Pam! I'm confident you'll pull through!

Some news, and thankfully it is good - "She is right as rain just coming out of surgery", received via messenger a short while ago. Can't give any more info than that at the moment but it's looking positive. Thanks for keeping her in your thoughts, I know she really appreciates the wider family.

Thanks for the update Paul. Glad to hear the surgery went well. Phew!!

[Penzoil3]

Good news indeed!
Thanks

[tgycgijoes]

Our whole Church prayed for her probably while she was in surgery. Praise God for answered prayers. Looking for a quick a full recovery. Amen.

[heywooood]

Good News for sure - here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery for Pam !

[Hurricane91]

Great to hear the good news. Hope to see you back here soon Pam.

[warchild]

Heheh. You guys are awesome.. Glad you were there. waking up was a bit dicey but we finally came ut of it. Doctors rebuilt the entire artery, out of Nomex none the less.. At least i wont catch on fire quite as easiluy. Over all i'm geeling much better now. Symptoms i had been attributing to the emphysema actually belonged to the clogged artery. and the doctor pushed us real hard to operate, because apparently i had hit the end of the road. I got lucky.. Nurses are taking really good care of me. I've been trying to get the guys to bring my computer in.. Prolly not gonna hPPEN THOUGH.So bear with me. it's gonna be an adventuresome week. Going to encourage you all, to make videos for fun.. YT is my only form of entertainment and frankly, your mosr=t humble oferings are so much btter than the glossified wanna be docomentaries already on there ;)..
Love ya's.
Pam

[hairyspin]

We have the technology, we can rebuild her. Just concentrate on recuperating, Pam, we’ll mind the shop meantime. :wavey:

[odourboy]

Fantastic news!

[stovall]

What a relief, great news Pam. Take it easy during your recovery. That means while resting you can keep in touch with SOH.

[big-mike]

All the best Pam, hope you have a speedy recovery.
Mike

[Ramjett53]

So glad you are doing better Pam. It was comforting to hear updates from others that things had gone well, but it was :ernaehrung004: to see that "Black Cat" avatar and your own words in here. Rest, take it easy, sit back and watch YouTube and get well. That's the only thing on your agenda young lady. Don't make me drive to Oregon during the Idaho elk season and place a 24-watch on you! :wavey:

Randy

[IFlySWA]

Very happy that you're on the mend, Pam. :encouragement:

Brian

[paiken]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Pam. Didn't know you were in the maintenance hangar until this morning since I normally don't frequent the FSX forums since my conversion to P3D. Just do what the mechanics tell you (they call themselves doctors and nurses, but we know better). Hang tough. We're all rootin' for you!

[bob407]

Great, great news! So happy for you Pam.

[manfredc3]

Great news. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Pam, Glad to see you are getting bored already - good sign, just stay positive, no fire eating though just to see if you are fireproof!
Keith

[magoo]

Ahhh...I'm pleased.

Keep yourself comfortable, Pam. Resist the inherent boredom of the rest & recuperation cycle, and get ye-self well. All these mind-breaking flightsim activities will happily wait for your timely return, when you so choose.

Wellness first.

:ernaehrung004:

[MrZippy]

This is all great news, Pam! Keep in mind that flatulence is considered a "good thing" while in the hospital recovering. Ya gotta prove yourself worthy of going home.:encouragement::biggrin-new:

Well done Pam. Arteries eh? who needs 'em...

Now all you need to do is adjust your cruise lift scalar and get back to work...

I've been away from flight simulation for quite some time. Most, if not all I spoke with while here, I've lost touch with them as well, unfortunately.

I don't know why, but I decided to log-in.

::LOL:: Damn Ive missed you.. It's good to see you.. How the hell are ya doing?? I'm personally mostly flying the dark side these days. I like it over there, but i like it here too with the people. I try not to influence too much because everyone needs to decide for themselves.
But yeahhh, you shouldnt stay a stranger.. sure the sands have shifted a bit and the landscape has a few new bumps ans ditches, but its all home and its all good.. Temorarily retiring from building again. My OBlood oygen level has been so low its been a wonder i could think at all, and it may be rising slowly with this artificial artery implanted but i still want to see where it goes before committing to a project.

[Ivan]

Hello Pam,

We from the CFS1 group don't get out of the sub-basement much so I had not seen the news until just a few minutes ago.
Glad things went well and hope you have a speedy recovery!

Take Care.

i've been in outpatient therapy for the last couple weeks now, but i finally get to go hom,e tomorrow.. Got some new airplanes for xplane, got some new tennies, go a new staff and walking umbrella. I'm back up to around 93% blood oxygen now which is fantastic.I just dont have a lot of it any more. Still, its no longer a matter of the cloggged Aorta costing me my legs and maybe my life.. At least i can make my own pot of coffee once again.. Not quite just a talking head any more...

[PhantomTweak]

Fantastic! So glad to hear things are, and have, been going so well for you!

I, and I'm sure all the others, wish you nothing but the best. and we all hope that everything keeps going so well.

Now, get back to work! :biggrin-new: :biggrin-new:
That's a joke, by the way...:dizzy:

Take care, take it easy, don't overdo, and get all better soon :encouragement:

[Sundog]

It's good to hear you're on the mend. Now just keep resting up until the day you wake up and say, "Damn, I don't remember the last time I felt this good!" Then rest some more and fly a lot of simulator time. :)

[Odie]

Get better, Pam! Glad to hear that your recovery is progressing and you are feeling better! :applause::applause::applause:

It is amazing how fast they (doctors) get you up and moving around so quickly these days.

Oh yeah.. I've been hanging out with these guys since 2006. We may argue a bit and sometimes get downright almost uncivil, but aa finer bunch of people your not going to meet. I love these people, and will always at least be looking in from the wings.. They grow on ya, ya know.. :) :)
