Looks like we lost our Dm. Nice to have played with you folks but I've been burned to many times like this.
Have I lost something or are you just out of faith, brother?
This has indeed been quite a long wait, we've been moving really slow, but I don't think Ghost has disappeared, specially after he had spent so much effort on the beginning of this game.
Get in a couple of other games and hold in there man!
So I got sick.
The first sign you’re in trouble is when you visit the doctor’s office and the last thing they say to you before you leave is “We’ve called the hospital and they’re expecting you”.
The second sign is when the doctors at the first hospital transfer you to the second hospital because the specialist they would normally have you see has gone home for the day and they say “We don’t think waiting until he gets back in the morning is a good idea.”
The third sign comes when you realize that it hasn’t even been 24 hours since you visited you doctor’s office and they’re taking you into surgery.
The panic sets in after the surgery. Strangely enough it is when they say “You’re so lucky you went to the doctor when you did. We caught this early enough you’ll get to keep your leg” you realize that it could have killed you.
The funny thing is I didn’t go to the doctor because of the fever or the pain in my ankle, in fact I almost didn’t mention it. It was just my regularly scheduled visit because of my high blood pressure, but my doctor saw me limping, and he dragged the whole story out of me. How everybody got a cold and then got better, except for me. How whenever I stopped taking ibuprofen the fever came back. How I had twisted my ankle the week before. Turns out everyone else in my family probably had just a cold. I didn’t.
An antibiotic resistant bacterial infection was lurking in my system but it wasn’t strong enough to effect my mostly healthy organs. Then, I hurt my ankle and it attacked, setting up shop in my bone and started pumping out all sorts of nasty stuff into the rest of my body. The surgeons went in and cut it out. I spent about a week in the hospital and have at least a month or so of recovery ahead of me. I’ve managed to avoid the at home IV antibiotics, by taking massive doses in pill form of a powerful antibiotic that doctors weren’t sure would even work, but it did.
I’ve been at home for a few days now and I can’t say for sure when I’ll be up to posting regularly. I’ve been feeling guilty about not posting but I haven’t been feeling up to trying to post a coherent message from my tablet either. I’ve finally grabbed my daughter’s laptop and typed this up. I’m just not sure how long it’s going to be before I get back into the swing of things.
If I’m a player in your game I’m sorry. If it makes sense please run my pc as it makes sense. For those of you who I’m the game master … well it’s going to be a few more days.

Ikvvy would say it's destiny!
Good luck on your recovery, Ghost.
First things first.
Glad you're still in the real world.
Take your time. And here's some good wishes to go wïth.
Jeez, Ghost.
A similar event happened to a friend of mine; he almost lost his foot.
Get better, and take your time!
0_0 Hoping you recover Ghost. We'll be waiting here when your ready to go again. Lucky that your doctor has sufficient ranks in the Heal skill. Get better soon.
That's some crazy news. Please don't feel guilty. Take as much time as you need to feel better!
Well now that I know what is up I feel better knowing you haven't gone Awol. I'll still be here. Take care and hope you get better.
Sorry about the wait. I'm going to try to update at least 3 times a week will I recover, I actually think I can do 5 times a week but we'll see.
I got a nifty wheelchair, a pair of crutches, a walker, and a protective boot thing for my leg that looks like storm tropper armor from the knee down. I also get my blood tested every few days for signs that the antibiotics aren't working. That's the good news, the bad news is that since I'm a prediabetic (a real condition, that I've had for years and years) my healing is slower than normal in regards to things like cuts and incisions (like a surgery that leaves a six inch scar on my ankle). Therefore my recovery is going to run longer than what they expected at first.
Still I'm back to being able to spend at least sometime everyday sitting upright in front of a proper keyboard.
Thank you all for your best wishes and your patience.
Get better man! You're a lucky guy not to have lost your leg!
Gotten pretty quiet from most of us
Well, I'm still here.
I am also still tuned in
I think we are waiting for GM to be able to update after Ikkvy's questions.
Don't feel rushed Ghost, take the time you need :)
Well unless our GM shows up very soon I will drop. Things are moving too slow to have an enjoyable time in a dungeon crawl.
FYI everyone: I will be away in sunny Curacao from Wednesday the 25th until Wednesday the 2nd. I will have my phone with me, but since I'll be on my honeymoon, I don't know just how much posting I'll be doing.
Congrats, and enjoy. It seems you'll be able to keep up. :)
Wow nice. Have fun
Enjoy!
Common Ghost, get out of that hospital!
Awesome! Have fun!

Have you returned to the world of the living, Ghost?
Or have you literally taken your avatar name as a mantle?
This thread dropped off my list, inactive. I don't know if that's a good sign, or bad. Good hopes, though.
It's still on mine as Active but not much activity.
I guessed this is it. I'll be using this alias for another game.
It has being fun and this counts as one of my most epic of games.
Yes. I have missed, and will continue to miss, this game, and you all.
Indeed, best of luck to all. And I hope our GM has had a full recovery.
