Welcome to Gaia! ::

I ended up going to the hospital late last night. Apparently with my mother, having convulsions is the split between weak ******** and need to get me treated. I have 8 stones — EIGHT — 2 in the left, 6 in the right, possibly the big one in my bladder, but it was a vague image at the edge of the CT. Got two scans; one with dye showing that I have leaked out all over. Fibrous scars in my right kidney too. All stones are passable size without ridiculousness — under 3.5mm — but I would have preferred live in a country where they discharged me when the things were confirmed moving. They said it was too risky to go in and remove them with lithotripsy or laser as the area is too lacerated and swollen. This morning started with vomiting green and black goo and spending most of the day in writhing pain.

I am here daily. I should be talking to the powers that be about taking on the captainship. I keep forgetting.

*Passes out party cups*
*95% the attendees die*
*looks back into grail room and sees a sea of solo cups*
*cusses* I got the cups mixed up again!

It's been a long time, but I still got some of the old skills at making a comeback.

So how have things been progressing?

Considering I asked back in August, life in general. xd

I don't even know where to start.

Chugging along, working through tough times and their aftermath.

Low points of the last few years: Zander had a series of strokes and we had to let him go, I feel like I failed him every day. My girlfriend cheated on me. Spent over a month total in hospitals due to kidney stone and nephrostomy complications.

High points of the last few years: My grandmother died and I thwarted the trust challenges so I have an income stream (though it probably also means I will lose my medicaid and be insurance poor next year as I will have enough to not get aid, but not enough to afford to buy insurance... that's my political gripe, heh). I have a boyfriend who is not cheating on me. Reached my goal weight after all these years.

In the world of what I know other guildies are up to. Lilygwen had a kid. Craftymama's oldest is in college now. Joe has disappeared off the face of the earth. Lana is struggling through hyperemesis to hopefully have a little girl. Gemstone has now had two kids after all those years of struggling to have one.
