So, I knew this would happen eventually.
At some point in my time here on OS, it was inevitable that I would be sidetracked by medical issues that require more attention than my limited layman's knowledge can handle.
THat day has finally come.
Today, or likely tomorrrow, depending on how I feel, I will be loading myself and my necessary travelling bag into a van similar to that shown above, and visiting the Emergency Room, with the full expectation of being admitted into the hospital.
I don't know whether I will be permitted to have my computer, and thus access to OS in the hospital, and if I am admitted, I have no idea how long I will be incommunicado.
So, I wanted to give everyone a head's up that, if I do disappear suddenly after today, that's the deal.
THIS IS NOT A FLOUNCE.
I *WILL* be back.
I just don't know when. History with this particular chronic issue says 7-10 days
And I know (whether you guys admit it or not) that you are going to worry about me no matter what. So, I figured I might as well be up front and transparent about my potential absence?
Okay?
Okay.
NOTE: For those of you who are wont to pray, I would ask you to please do. But make the prayer that I survive the hospital food. That scares me a hell of a lot more than the medical crap! LOL

You kidding me, dude! I'm more worried about the poor hospital orderly that bends over to pickup whatever it is that you'll keep "accidentally" dropping on the floor!
(okay, I'll admit it. I'll be worried about you, but don't you dare tell anybody because I'll deny it!)
Let's hope he bends over backward, eh? :-D
I'll be thinking of you and hope that everything goes OK. You'll be missed while you are away. And yes we would have worried so thanks for letting us know. Much love to you, Placebo.
Thanks. This SHOULD BE a minor issue, maybe 7-10 day stay if history is any indication. We'll see
Thanks ~HUGS~ I don't want to make a buge dealey-deal about this, but I'd rather you guys know why I disappear than have to wonder and speculate and send my name through the gossip wringer LOL
Will see what happens, but will do! :-)
You get better and get your crippled ass back here so we can have some fun!
No worries, dude. If anything, pray that I survive a week of hospital food! LOL
Ya know, I thought of that, and my first thought was, if I'm still in the hospital on June 10th (very unlikely), I'm releasing myself Against Medical Advice LOL
I make no promises I can't keep....hehehehehe
I should be back in action in about 7-10 days. Thanks!
Thanks
Good luck man. I do pray on occasion and will toss one up for you.
I usually confine myself to their dark chocolate Ensure milkshakes. 3 of those a day for 10 days will pack on some serious lbs for me
Hope this goes well and god help you with that food.
Rated with hugs and prayers

I wonder if rentboys.com does "orderlies" . . .
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I can see that now. "I've got your "Ensure" right here, dude,... and it's one of the big ones!" ;-)
I'll have to find that out. I did once have a steak from a restaurant across the street from a hospital delivered
Linda-
Thank god for Ensure milkshakes and chips! LOL
Heron-
My mom will drive me. And, yes Im aware that hospitals are wi-fi'ed up, but my mother needs this computer (we only have one) for her work, so I will likely let her keep it
Joy-
THanks!
Owl-
eeeeewwww....that place is just horrid! (yes I've been there) LOL
LadyH-
No worries, dear. Worrying always harms the worrier more than benefits the worried about
Jonathan-
Thanks. I'll be fine. Just consider this a tune up
1661-
Hopefully I can get some good painkillers and anxiety meds and I'll be okay LOL
geeesh...I think you just swore me off Ensure milkshakes from now on
Oh I'm sure one or 2 of those orderlies could provide me with something to drink to quench my thirst, eh? :-D
I'm sick, not crazy! If I find a hot boi, I'm keeping him all to myself, trust me. You can meet him at the wedding! hehehe
I'll share my food, I'll share my computer, I'll share my tools, I'll share any possession I own, but, no I don't share my loves! :-) (and I wouldn't really sleep with him, or anyone unless I love him)
Well, now, let's not be hasty....I've not met a boi yet, and I do kinda luv Doug, so let's just wait and see what happens, ya know?
Be well. Give them hell. Don't eat the green jello. Get a nurse that makes you laugh. We will miss you!
I never eat anything green! so that isn't a problem! LOL And I find that most nurses make me laugh, cause they're just as sick and twisted as I am
LOL Send them to Akron (Ohio) General Medical Center (address unknown)
Will do, and thanks!
The able-bodied guy says, "Ouch!" and the cripple just laughs because he's got no feeling below the waist.
I got some black jokes too, so don't think I'm just picking on you...love ya man!!! Can't wait until you get back.
Speedy recovery and stay strong.
As you requested I shall pray that your tastebuds and you will survive this ordeal upcoming. I and my tastebuds salute you! ~R!~
I'll do my best to keep people up to date with stories as they happen
Hairdo-
Geesh,I had to think about that one for a minute...LMAO! Good one
Anthony-
Thanks, man
PW-
Mouthwash and heavy duty antibiotics will be in order after that food!
Buffy-
Thanks, I'll do my best. Hopefully I can get some good drugs out of this if nothing else!
Bob-
Trust me, man, whether I'm hooked to my OS-IV or not, you guys are always with me! Take care of yourself too!
Jeanette-
D'oh! Unfortunately the quality is gonna be going down too, and that's what scares me.
Lou-
Oh, hell, there's no fun in that. Half the reason I survive hospital stays is by being a pesky annoying patient LOL
Puddle-
Thanks hon....thinking of you too!
It will be, no worries
Thanks! Will keep people updated as best I can
