    Default To those wondering...

    Anyway, I'm sure you have noticed my absence from the forums. I have a very good explanation for that. Most of the past week was spent at the hospital. Why? Because I found out that my kidneys failed on me and now my life has been changed, maybe for the better or worse.

    As of Thursday, I had since came back home, and I have been readjusting to living at home. It will take a while, but I will be posting a whole lot less and trying to spend as less time online as possible. I will also be needing to clean my blood three times a week, and thiose are more annoying than it is scary. It takes a whole freaking long time to do so and I get bored while getting my blood cleaned. Anyway, I think it's like mandatory for members like myself to post these threads to inform everyone of what has been going on with me as of lately. I'm sorry I had to miss my EoY, I would have love to answer your questions while they were being asked, but I couldn't at the time.

    Blam kidney failing on me. It has been going on for months without me noticing until I was getting symptoms prior to my hospital stay, when I was throwing up, feeling terrible, and not peeing as much as I should. It was terrible, I had a very high bloood pressure at about 250, which is not good for me. So I went to a clinic through my mom's begging. Had I not gone, I may not be alive now, as I would have passed away last Sunday.

    Anyway, how do I feel? Well, I feel a lot better, but I still am experiencing some setbacks, like my vision for one. I can see, but everything is darker and thus it takes more effort for me to see things a little more clearly, so I'm not going to bother correcting the small typos I make, if I make any.

    Anyway, if you guys have any questions regarding my situation, or something, feel free to ask me and I'll try to answer to the best of my knowledge.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Yes, I'm aware I will make typos, but with my vision, it's tough for me to spot them as easily if my bision was perfect. Please don't bother to correct or notify that some of the words I typed are misspelled. Chances are, it likely is, and I didn't spot it right away. I am aiming to type as much with as few typos as possible in the condition my vision is in. Instead, ask any questions about what I'm going through, or say that you're sorry to hear what I'm going through. Just don't bother to say "you spelled _____ wrong." I know I may have typoed something wrong, don't tell me what I know.

    I'm really sorry to hear about this, Proto. It's a terrible thing to happen, and as you say, the consequences will be life-changing. I sincerely hope you can get past the initial difficulties and that you'll be feeling a lot better soon. I suppose that the best thing you can do right now is look on the bright side, and remember that things could have been a lot worse. Best wishes to you.

    I know this may be asking for too much, but if anyone wants to send me a "Get Well" card through the mail, feel free to ask me for my address and let met know you plan on sending me a card. I will appreciate it very much, as I probably won;t be moing as I thought I would be earlier this year.

    Get well soon, Proto. That's an awful thing to happen...and...well, you're being super-brave about it in my opinion. *huggles*
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I hope things work out for you and you get better, Jeff. But I am quite curious, what does this mean for you now? Like, what exactly happened with your kidneys, do you know why they failed? And yeah, what sort of changes will you have to make?

    Renal failure... that's horrible. Especially for someone so young. At least we live in an age where it's treatable... maybe, in future, you'll be able to receive a transplant.

    There's little I can say except to wish you all the best, and to ask you to hang in there and persevere.
