Huge thanks to alternate rat for keeping the place going while I was away.
I'm still not "back" back though. I'm currently laying on my back with 2 JP drains ducking mysterious fluid out of my side, a third drain drilled directly in the center of my chest and juggling nine medications.
I've had to relearn how to walk and I still suck at it. Moving around is a massive undertaking, and there is a hard limit on how long I can remain standing.
Gonna write you guys a novel about all this once im feeling better.
Thanks for sticking around.
