Just saying "Hi", everybody. I'm fine, it's just that my internet is down. Well, not totally fine. I went as far as you can go with alcohol without actually dying. I went to an outpatient rehab to get six days of antiseizure to dry out at home and they ran some bloodwork and freaked. "Get this man to the ICU!" The day I checked in, they ran my numbers through a simulator and gave me a 50% chance of being dead in three months. Two days later it was down to a 33% chance. I wasn't worried. All that stuff is built on statistical extrapolation of normal people. When it comes to surviving near-fatal stuff, I'm very far from normal. I was never worried. I'm still weak, but on the mend. And I had a damn seizure! The one thing I went in to be treated, wasn't. Oh well. At least I now know my shattered spine can handle a grand mal without paralyzing me. Basically, 'sall good here. I even found a place to buy weed, not that I can afford it. I actually like being cut off from the internet. It's demanding. Took me about two weeks to adapt to life without it, but by and large I prefer this. It's a hassle dealing with my medical stuff over my flip phone, but I'll take it to be able to simply watch a movie without pausing it a dozen times to look something up, or check this and my email. I hope all is well with you. Stay safe.

  • @Uair I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't seen posts from you in a while! Thanks for this update. Flip phone life is the bees' knees. Personally, I couldn't do without internet entirely; perhaps this is a quirk of my being A Youngling. I find that having it on computer only and not "smart" phone makes internet usage much easier to regulate, though. Take good care, and godspeed in recovery.
