Earthmichael is very sick right now

[Lord Avalon]

Hope your doc can figure this out.  If not, put him to work at a borehole & get a new one.  To relieve boredom, imagine sending insurance administrators to the punishment sphere.  Do you eat the same thing for breakfast, or does it vary?

[Dolgorukov]

A punishment sphere would be too civil for these villainous scum. Send them to the cyborg factory to meet Ace and his "special enhancement"!

EM, hope you'll uncover the root cause of what is plaguing you and get back to being your healthy self.

No, introduce them to  , and let him decide what to do.

Just a quick update.

I was diagnosed with a long technical name which means my stomach and digestive system is operating too slowly.

I have been given a regimen of drugs to take 30 minutes before meals to try to prevent attacks.

Unfortunately, even after starting these drugs, I have had two attacks in the last two week, and had to be hospitalized in each case for a couple of days to get the nausea under control.

I think I can see some correlations for the attacks.  In the first case, I had a meal with some ground beef (hamburger helper type of thing), and  though the grease was poured off of the ground beef, I think it was still too greasy, and I think the grease factor set it off.

In the second case, my daughter was visiting from out of town and we had a big dinner and I think I just ate too much.   My doctor tells me now to stop eating the moment I feel satisfied, and to plan to each up to 6 small meals a day to recover some of the 40 pounds I have lost since the attacks started in early July.

I bought a Vitamix blender, and am fixing many of my meals as smoothies to ease digestion.  That seems to be working so far; I have not had an attack after a smoothie meal.  Any day that nausea stays at bay is a good one, and it has been four days since I got out of the hospital from the last attack.  So I am hopeful that the current drugs, small meals and smoothies, and low fat will keep me out of the hospital.  Your thoughts and prayers are very welcome!

EM is not in good shape right now. I'm sending him my best wishes for him to heal quick. I'll surly miss him untill he's back.

His oct 8th post seemed to indicate a positive direction being taken. Im sorry to hear it got worse


I got a taste of how infuriating the doctors and medical people can be recently when a close relative was injured on old rusted equipment and then even infected and when she went in the first time, was told to just go home and wash it  Now on antibiotics and stuff to fix it, and keeps getting brushed aside and not taken seriously. If they would just go the distance and really fix the problem when it comes it the first time it would save alot of headache

Does anyone have another way to try to contact EM?  We're all pretty concerned, given the givens...

[t_ras]

I dont think he is in condition to be contacted right now. But Ill be enquiring his thoughter (who has been posting for him) as time passes.

[Buster's Uncle]

Has anyone heard anything?  I'm EXTREMELY concerned...

There's nothing on his Facebook page, so I messaged him.

[Earthmichael]

I am sort of back for now.  I am checking my email, and was thinking about checking the forum.

My health is poor, so I am on disability from work right now.  I will try to answer specific inquiries if you have them.

I am not up to starting another game right now, and am sorry if I let some games I had going lapse.  I always hate it when it happens to me, and hope I did not let too many people down.

Thanks for thinking and praying for me.  I will try to resume any game that anyone brings to my attention, but will not be starting any new games for now.

This is news worthy a fifty-Lal post.  I mean, I'm sorry you're still sick, but I was worried that you were dead.  I hope you're at least able to follow the forum and comment a little.  It's great to have you back.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Glad you're still around, Earthmichael.    Hope you get better.

Keep kickin', EM.

[Kataphraktoi]

[Vishniac]

It's not because we don't post here that we don't think about you.
Get well soon!
