Okay.... so on june first i started puking for the 5th time this term, in 15 minute intervals. on june 3rd, i was STILL puking so badly that i was only able to get 4 hours of sleep since i had started. I hadn't done anything up to that point, because puking that long is normal for me. However this time, the pain was increasing exponentially, instead of receding as i wretched....i was also severely dehydrated, because unlike the other times my fluid retention didn't improve on the second day... and was hospitalized and underwent an emergency bowel resection after ex-rays and a CT scan proved that about 50cm of my small intestine were completely dead, clogged, and that all of my small intestine up to that point was swollen more than 3 times it's healthy size. It turns out that my "stress condition" was caused by scaring inside my abdomen, and that not only do i puke hard enough to break blood vessels in my eyes, but i also scar my insides each time i do it. As i puke, more scars form, and cause more frequent, and more violent episodes of puking, which caused more scars, and even more frequent and violent episodes.... the surgeons say that it is likely that now that the main portion of interior scarring is removed (about 60cm of intestine :/), that i might be done having these episodes. During the hospital stay, the place they cut me open got infected, and they opened the wound up. they released me despite this.... in the proceeding week i changed the wound dressings 3 times a day every day, which was supposed to pull the infection out... but it didn't. The signs got worse, and i went back into the hospital to have them look at it. it seemed that the bacteria had eaten into my fascia, causing a small hernia. They claim that they could not fix the hernia without risking spreading the infection inside the Fascia (the wall that protects your vital organs), and that my flesh was too inflamed to hold new stitches....so they widened the wound so the dressing changes would hit some of the tunnels that had formed, gave me an abdominal binder, and sent me home again after doing a few more scans and testing. last Thursday they called me back into the hospital, because the results of those tests worried the medical team immensely...yesterday they sent me home again, with a vacuum hooked to my wound that i must keep engaged essentially 24/7. I am now plugged into a wall to keep the vacuum charging, and in intense pain due to sitting up, which causes the wound to fold painfully.... I missed finals for all of this, and because of that, i did not pass last term...so i need to do a heck of a lot of medical appeals in the hope that i can save something of my college future.....
[/skipable (for lan)]

I am deeply sorry for my lack of posting during this period.

So lan....my question for you at this point is.... am i still hollow mod? Or better yet, am I still on the supreme court?

What all is changed? I really am sorry that this happened...especially since i never got a chance to appoint a deputy in case of emergencies like this.... :/

If i have been demoted, i certainly understand. It has been a LONG time with all of this crap. *bigsighandcollapse*

[/skipable (for anyone else...and technically lan too, since there's no law that says he has to read anything i type :/)]

You're still the mod. And we've just removed the stat system, and have Attributes added. We've closed most of Seireitei until activity increases.

Also, mom says you could sue your original doctor for malpractice, because had he actually done his job and ordered tests none of this would have been happening. And yes, you are still a Judge biggrin

And you cannot help that all of this has happened. I hold nothing against you, Aria, and I'd be a royal a** if I did. You know I'm here for ya.

Also, mom feels for ya. She had a small bowel obstruction and went through similar situations recently, so she feels for ya.

She's healed fully now. But it took months, almost four, for it to heal properly.
