I'm sure he's busy working, or his computer must have pooped out. I haven't seen him in a while either.

Someone already 'Exclusived' me. If you remember.
Sorry I've been dead for awhile but, I'm not doing so good - health wise.
***Warning to anyone who's not 30 years old yet and can't talk about medical stuff without giggling their heads off. Look away, now***
For the last month I've been suffering with a slight stomach pain that's increased to 'curling on the floor, weeping' pain in this last week.
So, I went to the doctor and found out that I've got peptic and duidenum ulcers.
Along with severe pain I've been cursed with diarrhea and the hemmoroids that go along with with.
I've been given a prescription of Omeprazole (Prilosec, basically), advice to buy a bunch of Preperation H (Preperations A-G were a complete failure) and to take things easy.
In the mean time I've been sleeping a lot.
I'd wake up.
Go to the bathroom twice in an hour.
Muscle through a shortened work day, going to the bathroom twice more.
Come home. Bathroom 3 times.
Sleep.
Wake up three times for bathroom.
Repeat.
I've been drinking water like it's going out of style because of the diarrhea and because the cold helps quell the pain.
I'm also eating bananas by the tree because the excess water will flush the potassium out of your system.
...even though every swallow of banana feels like a sword being shoved into my stomach....and 10 minutes later a sword to my gut.
Although, potato chips seem to go down pretty good - as long as I chew them up really well. But, I don't want to become a ham beast.
To top is all off:
Friday I was having a "good moment" and went to do a simple lifting task and popped something out in my back.
It's Sunday, now, and it feels a lot better (thanks to Bayer) so I'm not going to worry about that part at the moment.
Of course, today isn't a work day, and, as we all know, real pain doesn't set in until Monday morning, right before work.
Right now I'm awake long enough to check how the internet is doing.
I'm thinking about going to the grocery store for some milk but, I'm not quite physically able to at the moment.
I hate getting older.

That's bad that you have been sick. I'm sorry to hear that. We hoped you took a nice vacation and toured somewhere really fun.
But at least you know your site friends missed you. It's good to be missed isn't it? ;D

Yeah get better man. I can't say age gets any easier. But hopefully you can get treatment for these problems. If you're going to be our next President you don't want opposing media to learn of you having had health trouble and make voters uneasy.

Ahh, can't fool me... it must have been scurvy. What happened, did the Scourging Chipmunk run out of citrus fruits?  ... In all seriousness, I hope that you recover from the ulcers quickly and with as little suffering as possible. |

Yes, I admit. It's actually scurvy.....heh. The Scourgin' Chipmunk ran afoul of some con-man suppliers who loaded me with 1,200lbs of oranges. After I left port I found out the oranges were actually decorative wax fruits for your coffee table.  *** In real news: I'm still suffering with pain and I still have severe diarrhea but, it's calmed down to about 3-4 times a day. Which is nice. Also, my 'immediate' pains from eating have stopped, for the most part. But, the '10 minutes later' pain is still in full form. Bouncing (i.e., driving my trucks and hilo) still kills - having eaten or not. So, I'm still delegating those jobs to whomever I can get my hands on. My 'work' now entails sitting at my computer and inputting shippers and invoices. Making manifests for drivers and logging and billing packaging and freight that we stock for several companies. My days are 4-6 hours now, instead of my usual 10-12. I'm afraid I'm going to get used to this and when I get back up and running I'm going to be hurting for awhile - tuckered out. The doctor says that if I still have pain by next Thursday that I'll have to go down and do that thing where I drink that chalk stuff and get an MRI on my gut. |
