Are people away?

In reply to Tealon Holdron (msg # 291):

I am here

Somewhat... as I've been posting in my other games, mom insisted on coming home from rehab on Monday even though no one thought she was ready yet, and then we promptly had to send her to the hospital in an ambulance Tuesday evening. She was then in ICU for a day. Seems to be doing better now, no one seems to be quite sure what is wrong. So I've been dealing with that this week.

Family comes first.
I used RPOL as a way to escape from this stuff when my mum was dying.

Do what you need to do.

I'm.hoping that the gear Barrage spell takes out the other guards or at least injures them enough that anything else puts them down quickly, also hope either the dog creatures run off or back right up, would be interesting to know what they are and if one could be taken then retrained (not by me as I don't believe I have anyway handling)

Well guys and gals. In 2wks time (10th Dec), it will have been a whole real life year since Tealon put on and demonstrated the first Harness.

Let's see if we can hurry this bit along and get someone else in one too, it's fun :-)

Is everyone ok?

In reply to Tealon Holdron (msg # 297):

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Yeah, that.  Happy New Year, everybody.  I hope that 2017 is good to you and I am looking forward to RPing with you into the New Year and beyond!

I celebrated the new year by watching Rogue One. OMG, the girl they had playing Princess Leia at the end for one line was amazing.

In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 301):

Happy New Year all.

Happy Eighth Day of Christmas

In reply to Ioelenna Winterspire (msg # 305):

It's the 13th day in old money ;-)

In reply to Tealon Holdron (msg # 306):

Happy Ninth Day of Christmas.

I'm hoping others agree that now the horrible year that was 2016 is out of the way, we can start this game moving quicker again.

I know that real life gets in the way quite a bit however. Most people do seem to log in a lot more regularly than the posts indicate.

Blessings to all for a good year ahead.

Is everyone ok?  Seems we have stalled again.

I am still here.

Excellent, Danyka is too, she posted :-)

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

For those who may not have heard, eight days ago on Sunday night just after dinner, I suddenly developed a severe stomach pain--level 7. While I struggled with it for half an hour, figured it was probably food poisoning. It wasn't like any other stomach pain I'd ever experienced before. Then I wound up throwing up 4-5 times, though afterwards the pain level was only 5. An hour later, I threw up 2-3 more times and the pain level dropped to 3. And there it stayed. No more throwing up, and it didn't go away. I couldn't find any position where the pain was lesser, and it was too high to let me sleep. Finally called the EMTs about 1 a.m. and off to the ER I went.

A dose of femital (or something) dropped the pain to 1, and eventually it went completely away. However, the hospital continued to run its test to try and determine the cause. I'm not convinced that they ever did. One doctor concurred that it might have been food poisoning, but the other doctor concluded that it was a problem with my gallbladder and recommended I have it removed. He scheduled laposcopy surgery for Wednesday. If it went well, I'd be hope by Friday. Turned out it was in bad shape and required full abdominal surgery to remove it.

Let me tell you... in all those movies/shows when they talk about a painful wound to you abdomen, they aren't kidding! Every muscle in your chest and abdomen, and a few in your arms and legs, are all tied in together. So every deep breath, every burp, every hiccup, every yawn, every laugh, every cough causes excruciating pain! This is on top of the pain meds!

Every movement... sitting up, standing up, sitting down, laying down, stretching, reaching, bending... causes pain. One such movement at a time is usually okay, but then requires an hour of sitting still and getting over it.

Alas, the hospital's discharge procedure was rather inept on Sunday, and I wound up having to make a dozen such movements so that I could get my meds from the pharmacy before it closed. So after I got home and settled in, it took around 8 hours for the pain to subside.

It's slowly getting better, but will probably take 5-6 weeks for the surgery to completely heal and the pain to completely go away.

But, I'm back! Not sure how much I'll get to in the next two days... have to reorganize the house a bit as I'm mostly fending for myself.

Anyway, I apologize for the absence and lack of word.

Flaming heck.
You make sure you take it easy.

Sounds like you may have had food poisoning that affected your gallbladder, two kicks in the gut at once (not that I'd know but its a guess).

Glad to hear they caught it though as I've heard if it goes, similar to ependix, it could be fatal.

Take time to recover right before sorting your home out of you could harm the wound.

Good to know you are feeling a tad better and to see you back here.

Sorry to hear about your health woes, GM.  Take all of the time you need to recover; heal up and come back to us.  I suspect that we will still be here ... ;)

Hope things are improving with health GM
