Ah, the old "hooker and STDs" sidestory.
Lol. These characters are definitely more real that ones in other campaigns.
I think in all the games I've been in only two have made it all the way to the conclusion.
One was a 3.5 game (I was a Paladin) and the other was a pathfinder beta (Bard)
I hope to get this to a conclusion :P
So, Arista's mom had a burst fracture of her T12 vertebrae (don't ask me, I'm not medically versed) and it probably lodged itself in her spine when she moved during her sleep. They've got her on morphine right now.
What does that mean? Is it treatable?
They'll have to do some x-rays and whatnot, but her vertebrae is shattered.
Uh. That sounds bad.
That sucks I'm really sorry to hear that. It's definitely something that can be taken care of but not a fun recovery period.
*tosses hands in the air* Just have to wait and see.
Did the message Skaar sent about the iron and materials ever get there and are shipments coming in?
Michael sent it. Shipment hasn't arrived yet.
Cool.
So, they took her for an MRI this morning...but it'll be a while before we get the results. She hates the C collar, but they don't want to take it off until they rule out any further injury to her neck/spinal column. The neurosurgery docs came around this morning and said due to her age they really don't want to go in surgically, if they can help it. So, first they are gonna try putting her in an upper body brace and start physical therapy. Since she's 80 years old, a surgery could end up doing more harm than good and there's a whole lot of scary complications that could come up, so that's a last resort.
However, this is gonna mean her staying in the hospital for a few days and being immobile....which isn't going to sit well with her either. I'm gonna get some rest today because I have a feeling I'm gonna be staying up there with her again tonight so that my dad can come back to the apartment to get some sleep. Well....I'm gonna try to sleep at some point I should say.
Glad to hear things aren't worse, get some sleep, you need it.
Well said, Sadhana. I really cannot believe that they didn't x-ray an older person who had a fall in the first place. That sounds like a malpractice suit waiting to happen.
I am super f&+#ing pissed now. This damn computer posted what I said twice and then when I tried to delete one of them, they both got deleted! Now how am I supposed to remember what the hell I said?
OH well....it doesn't say exactly what I wanted to say, or as well as I said it before...but, it'll have to do.
Yeah...so the sleep thing. Pretty much not happening...my body is ready to shut down, but my mind won't shut the hell up! LOL Well...that and funny thing....when you tell people that you'll leave your phone on so they can reach you....people end up reaching you. OH well...such is life.
Heading out to grab food.
Grab me something too...LOL
Ugh...my stomach is all messed up now. Not enough sleep + too much stress= bad belly. I should really try to get at least a couple hours sleep before heading back over to the hospital tonight....I just don't know. It's like my brain is on overdrive right now.
I hate when that happens. Having a brain on overdrive and a body on E. It's even harder when you're trying to sleep during the day.
I ate enough calories to power a third world country for a week.
As soon as my food settles, I'm going to head to the gym.
I can't eat and go to the gym...my body is just too sensitive. Even if I gave it a couple hours. I would have to go to the gym and then eat something light. Especially in the summer months. The heat just makes me sicker than s!$#. Just about everything disagrees with me these days.
My roommate's the same way (I think most people are).
I'm the complete opposite. If try to work out on an empty or near-empty stomach my muscles empty of all potential strength and I feel like a wuss.
If I go to the gym after eating....I just throw up.
Exercise-induced vomiting is not fun. Ever.
Nope...no kind of vomit is fun actually. I rather try to avoid it when at all possible. LOL
I don't know. Throwing up when you've been drinking or you've got the flu is usually a bit of relief.
Agreed. I was grateful to have thrown up my bad choices when I saw Eric and got sad all those months ago.
That totally depends on what it is you were drinking and what the food combo was. I've gone through some that were just nasty as hell and then you can vomit only for so long before you start feeling just awful...body aches, head ache, weakness, ect ect ect. Really not cool, at all. I keep phenagryn handy just in case because my stomach is just so sensitive. Sometimes I can't tell what's gonna set it off.
@Nicatha Huh? It must be over my head and under my feet, cuz I sooo am not understanding what you are talking about. LOL
Oh, last time I threw up was because I saw an ex and got upset enough to drink too much. I think I mentioned it here when it happened because it was such a rough night. :-)
Sounds like she ran into someone she didn't want to see and got drunk.

Ahhh I see...sorry...my brains a little fuzzy so I probably didn't remember it. I left my x's in other states...so I don't really have to worry about that. I only ever had one x to speak of in AR and he disappeared....so, no worries there. LOL I like living in x free zones, makes life easier, nicer, just more pleasant all around.
I'm ten years younger than my siblings and I learned what not to do by watching them. So I typically avoid drama like it's the plague.
It also helps that I don't drink.
I'm hypoglycemic so I really don't drink much anymore at all. Last time I tried was at a friends house when we went for dinner and that was sooo bad. I probably wont ever do it again. LOL the drinking, not the friend....well, you know what I mean.
I am also one of the types that isn't a fan of physical activity after eating real food. Anything heavier than yogurt makes me say no to going-ons right after eating.
Heading back to the hospital now, have a good night.
At least it's Sunday...never needed time off like I do right now.
Poor Harakhty, never gets the respect he deserves.

Harakhty has a Charisma of 8. Any lower and he could inspire people to riot just by asking the time of day.
That is fair. I still like him.
I hope everyone's prepared with their Protection from Meanness buffs.

I hope everyone's prepared with their Protection from Meanness buffs.
I have spell penetration for that.
There's no protection from that.
He hasn't been mean to Skaar in quite sometime.
Only because he's not around him.
