OK, quick update. I have spent the past two days bouncing in and out of hospital with suspected appendicitis. They've released me, but I am still considereed at risk, and may have to go back in for surgery if things relapse. Also, I am away Friday through until Monday, and may well be without internet.

Also, it's my birthday. Whee! Gimme cake!

Not a fun thing, been there, done that.  If you need to take time for recovery do whatever you need.

OH, word of advice, don't go on a twenty mile horse ride three days after surgery.  just sayin.

LOL!  I don't have my appendix anymore so I don't have to worry about that.  But I don't recommend needing to have 1/3 of your colon removed.  Colon cancer sucks.  I mirror The Narrator's advice.  ;)

Owie, yes!!!

I'm going to crew a larp instead. But in a stately home with food and beds and stuff. So should be okay. :)

It's not a murder mystery is it?  ;) If it is, don't end up one of the victims!

It's not... and I am not playing. I am providing NPCs. One of whom will be Puss in Boots! I plan to be fabulous!

did i miss anyone?

happy birthday!

Time to watch Alec Steele

Get your hammer on!

In reply to Melanie Moore (msg # 148):

Is tummy feeling better today or is appendices still giving you fits?

Improving, but not great. Just hoping it will last out the weekend.

I have a suspicion that Melanie (Pixie) may be in the hospital with appendicitis.  If this is true then I wish her the best and a speedy recovery.  You have my every sympathy.

If this is not the case, get off your lazy ass and POST!   Just kidding, I understand things can get rough and life is unpredictable.  I hope your LARP went well.

As it happens, I came very, very close, as I had another attack while at the LARP, and have been in serious recovery since Saturday night. Surgery more or less avoided, still possible, but I seem to be slipping into remission, thank the gods. I'm travelling tomorrow to see family for some convalescence, and shall have full access again, and can post in abundance then. Sorry to have held stuff up so much. Posts shall begin again once I get to destination tomorrow, I hope!

Thanks for the concern. Appendicies are a darned nuisance, it seems!

Glad to hear you're doing ok Melanie, look after yourself!
I had no idea appendixes could be so tricksey. It sounds rotten!

Sorry, hectic weekend. Will get caught up soon.

Cool :)

Holiday weekends are often pretty quiet on RPoL, which I hoped explained the quiet

No worries, that happens.

And Michael is right, RPOL is a ghost town around holidays, but I've noticed most weekends tend to slow down lately

want to see a work of pure craftsmanship and beauty?

Skip to the end to see the finished product if you are not interested in watching the details.

This young man's skills are growing at a truly impressive rate and he is super critical of his own work and he is always trying to improve. I also think he has an espresso drip into a vein, only explanation for his energy levels

I am waiting on a few individuals to post before I continue.  if there is nothing by friday I will move things forward then.

I've been waiting for Kieran, I was going to post anyway tomorrow (not that I had a lot to add), but if you're waiting until Friday I will too

Happy Satyrday everyone.  I'm a day late and a dollar short as usual. I know I promised an update yesterday but I got distracted by a Shiny.

I am not sure where Kieran or Melanie have vanished too, I am hoping Melanie is not in the hospital.

Yes, fingers crossed for Melanie...

And no worries, boss :)
Although, y'know, *twitch* *twitch* a chance to post would be very welcome

I am now home. Trying to catch up on things, but do not wait, push on ahead. I'm currently in the barn I think, trying to protect poor HeSee. I'm still pretty run down and sore in the abdomen, but *should* pick up now. I hope!

RThank you everyone, the good wishes are very much appreciated. <3

Glad to hear you are doing better.
