Hello everyone.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Nigel drove into his drive way this afternoon on his own.
No further details as of yet ...
He could have had some kind of stroke or Seizure.
He suffered from blood clots in the past.
I hope is ok (mentally)
Eric

So wonderful to hear, Eric. Thanks for the updates.

Gary

Thank you Eric, that’s great news!

Thanks Eric...it is wonderful to hear he is home...hopefully nothing too serious has happened to his health.

Ian

So prayers DO in fact work!!! Wonderful outcome.

Great news for sure.

Thanks Eric. Hopefully he’s fine and can just keep on rollin’
JM

Prayers are often answered. Thanks Eric! Wishing Nigel and his family the best. I know they are relieved!

Thank you, Lord ...
Prayers are always answered, but sometimes it's not the answer we are looking for ... In this case, at least to our knowledge thus far, we got the answer we wanted ...
We will continue to pray for Nigel and his family ...

I'm sure you all felt it too, but after reading Eric's post about Nigel missing, every other post on this board became insignificant ...

Just got home today. On Monday I had a nervous breakdown at midday on Monday. I couldn't make it back to work or home so I went to a nearby motel and got a room. And stayed there for a few days. I wasn't able to phone where I was until Wednesday. And then I was able to drive home. Kerry was very happy see my car rollup. I am feeling much better now. I really appreciate your concern.

So blessed to have you back, Nigel ... Praying for your good health going forward ...

So good to hear that you are ok. Sounds like you took care of yourself during your episode. Now you need to continue takeing care of yourself so you don't have a relapse. Praying for your complete recovery.

Fantastic news Nigel, so glad you are back and ok. Stay where you can talk to someone and be safe.

As traumatic an experience it must have, it must be wonderful to see the number of people that care, and were worried about your well being. Great to have you back Nigel.

That's wonderful news!!
I'm very happy that Nigel now is back home and safe.
Get well, and keep staying well Nigel.
We wish you all the best!

Glad to hear you're home safe and sound, Nigel. Wishing you all the best.

Nigel, I am so happy to hear from you and that you are OK.
Thank you for letting your Synthzone family know.
AS you can see everybody was praying and rooting for you.
Let me know if there is anything Claudia or I can do for you.
Hope you fell better.
Eric

Thats a way to explain it...


I am just happy with the fact that he has been found
And apparently is okay..

Good news Nigel. Glad to have you back.
Take Care,
jingleman

Nigel, were testing the people on SZ, just to see how much they cared? (smile)

Happy to hear you are OK.
Concerned, John C.

Great to have you back safe Nigel take care of your self. Cal

Best wishes Nigel, hope everything is sorted out soon.

Glad you made it back home Nigel. May your journey continue forward and be peaceful.

Best wishes to one of the best and most fair-minded forum owner/administrators ever.

"Didn't Sleep at ALL last night"....was a tossin ' and turning"....Not the song, sillies,but the situation.

There is some criticism that on line friendships are not particularly deep, complex or sincere.

For me and many others, Nigel, that's certainly not the case here.

Much love to you and Kerry, always.


Russ

Good to hear that Nigel is safe.
Is Nigel the owner of the Synthzone ?

If yes, Nigel, do you have a second confident person in your life that has all the passwords and the knowledge to let the website up, in case of problems?
If not, I can help you to be your backup in case of emergency
We don't want Synthzone to be definitely down suddenly !
We are never enough careful

Oh my - Just now saw this thread. Glad to hear things are getting better - Take care of yourself, sir!

Yes, Nigel is our Synthzone father
He owns it
Eric

Talked to Nigel and Kerry an hour ago.

What an unbelievable relief.


They are so good for each other.


R.

For me and many others, Nigel, that's certainly not the case here.

Much love to you and Kerry, always.


Russ
Russ, I love your post, that’s the nicest part of you.
John C.

This is just great great news ! I am quitting my job this month after 14 years doing highly stressful and target driven work . I had a breakdown in February this year and it caught me by surprise . Thought I was coping with the stressful environment but I definitely was not . I made a decision to re priorise my life and feel so much better just by making the decision . I have two very diverse job offers In completely new disciplines . Looking forward to what the next stage of my life uncovers .

Nigel it is never too late to take back control of your life . Been praying for you and will.continue to do so . You are the best . God bless you and your family .

Unfortunately life has never been more stressful than it is now, with no sign of it getting easier anytime soon, you are essentially working for the machine rather than the machine working for you. (Take the phone (And computer) away from most users these days and their life collapses in front of them)

This one tore me up. I've been playing Three Dog Night's " Easy to Be Hard" all afternoon.

My admiration for Nigel goes way beyond the Synthzone. And the combination of Nigel and Kerry...the unquestioned strength and the way they fit together and support each other is humbling.

We should all be very lucky to have that kind of life affirming support.

Thanks to you both for being a very important part of my life.

Lots of love,

R.

Now this is funny. I need funny after the past week. Thanks so much for all your support. It was something that has never happened before and unlikely to happen again I am told. The condition is called Transient Global Amnesia ... never heard of it before.

Thanks so much Eric for reporting this back to the forum. Went to hospital after I made it back and after a barrage of tests and a Catscan there was nothing amiss. Which is a good thing I guess. Kerry was worried it may have been like a mini stroke or something. I am told it is usually a one off condition called Transient Global Amnesia that apparrently only affects men and shouldn't reoccur. It was just weird temporarily losing all reference. I am glad I knew enough to stop driving and pull into a motel.

Nigel, it's so good to hear that you're OK and doing fine, and that your family and we have you back in 'normal condition'.

Never heard of this before, so to learn more about what happened, I found this:

--------------------------------------------

Just thinking about it .....
Maybe the SZ family should celebrate that everything went well and that our 'chief in charge' is 'back in the saddle' again?
In stead of sending flowers, we could use the little yellow donate bottom at the bottom of the page?
Only a suggestion guys ......

Nigel, let me set the picture. I divorced my first wife. Then I left New York and moved to Florida with my new wife. My first wife and her husband moved to Florida, one town away. My new wife said; I can’t believe this. (ouch)

Her husband was out of town on a business trip. My daughter called and told me something is wrong with Mom. We went to see what had happened.
Nigel, she seemed OK, but parts of her memory were gone, her symptoms were very much like yours. That was 30 years ago and she is in good health; her memory came back shortly after.

Great to see you back, John C.

PS, the strange thing about this story is that she never lost the part of her memory the dealt with the bad things I did in our marriage. (aaaaaaaaah)

Nigel, I wish you all the best.

Hope everything is OK Nigel. Sounds like a vacation may be needed.

Hi Nigel,
Something I considered too. (Transient Global Amnesia)
I am so happy everything is alright with you.
The best therapy for us is music...
Healing, uplifting and food for the soul.
All the best to you and Kerry.
Eric

Nigel, when you are ready for that much needed vacation, I'll be more than happy to take you and Kerry on a two week cruise on Chesapeake Bay, all cruise expenses paid by me.

Good luck, old friend,

Gary

So glad to hear this, you have been in my thougts and prayers, please take care . . .
