Hi, it's been a while, but here I am again 
The last two years have been horrible for me and my family. I was diagnosed with aggressive cancer in advanced stage - a completely unexpected and irrational situation.
After intense chemotherapy and radiation everything seemed well. But I got an early relapse and cancer came back. This really knocked me out. The only thing that could help me now was high-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation. This was hell! In the isolation unit in the hospital I learned what it really means to fight for your life.
But it worked and I survived - now I am finding my way back to life. The intense therapy of course had its price: Recovering immune system in my case will take months / years. I am suffering from nerve damage, neuropathy in hand and feet, impaired cognitive and memory abilities, ...
For the third time in my life I am re-learning guitar from the start... and I hope I can get back to shape. Giving up guitar is not an option yet!
Interesting fact btw (about how my brain works): In most desperate times, I was just holding a guitar pick in my hand - and that was really calming me down. My brain over time has stored the conditioning: Holding a pick is joy and happiness 
2025 has to be better!!
A few days ago I bought a used Kemper Remote... finally no more "workarounds"
So it's going in the right direction
And I think I will be able participate again in this great forum 
I am really really happy with my "old" Kemper head in 2025 and with all the updates and stuff to explore...
Greetings Tobi
