Alive and Eating
Last week after returning from PhilCon, I stopped posting for a few days, except to say that I had not eaten in several days and my headache medication had stopped working.
First off, I’d like to thank everyone who sent me kind thoughts, either through comments or e-mail. They were very much appreciated.
Second, I have a condition known as Ulcerative Pancolitis. In layman’s terms, it means that the length of my colon is covered in a series of ulcers. When I have flair-ups, eating anything becomes absolutely impossible, which often causes my stomach to shut down entirely and stop processing anything, liquid, food, or medicine. This is what happened to me last week, and I hope you can understand why it prevented me from posting.
Though I am still weak, and find my appetite severely limited due to my stomach shrinking after nearly six days of not eating, I am recovering and feel well enough to resume. So now I’m back to work, with 150+ RSS entries to catch up on in Google Reader, pages to update on the site, and entries to write up for everyone here on gaming goodness.

Whoo hoo!
Glad you’re back man! Take care, ulcerative Gastro diseases suck! We have a bunch of researcher over here (I work for a genetics research collective) that work on Cronh’s and other such things and a lot of breakthroughs were seen lately!
ChattyDm’s last blog post..The Case Report James will Never Write: Post me that Purple Heart, I’m gone!
Thank you much for the good wishes!
I consider myself pretty lucky that there’s as much research going into Crohn’s and UC as there is these days..
