And I responded. But there's no need to post a comment about this, as I'm automatically notified of new PMs every time anyways. ;)

I'd love to, really, but as un-eventful and same old, same old the last several years have been on my end, as likewise is this feed.

There's nothing meaningful happened I could be mentioning here, no progress in my projects, no life-changing events in my real life, nothing at all.

My last status update still applies, well, minus the mention of my intentions for the anniversary. I really need to learn to not post about these anymore in future.

He always was an Alter Ego of mine anyways.

Why thank you. It's actually the name of a story character of mine, or better yet the name of his story. My first mods were made in order to put 'him' into the game, so I could play as him, with all that makes him 'him'.

When I was asked to share my mods in public, I made his name my author pseudonym.

I didn't even reach to 5 in counting, already was I gone. And when I opened my eyes again everything was over already, there was no pain and no nothing. That drug's a real sledgehammer to knock you out. And quite frankly, I prefer it this way round than the way it was 20 years ago, where I was able to see and feel them fiddling around with the long tube, first into my rear end, then into my mouth and down into my stomach... all the time wondering if it was the same tube now or not. cO

Well, the first time I was undergoing such a procedure was almost exactly 20 years ago, when I was still a young minor, and due to my anyways rather slim and scrawny build they couldn't risk giving me the strong stuff in the children's clinic I was in back then. So then I was able to witness everything going on around me more or less clearly before passing out shortly afterwards, much like you did. But nowadays the recent 6 runs always have been under Propofol, the Milk of Amnesia.

(Geez, who ever came up with the restriction that more than 2 lines of response get cut off by the site after posting them? O.o)

Every time I got a paper to read about the 'potential' risks and had to sign an allowance for them to proceed.

If those risks were anything near close to 'likely', by now I sure would've had a couple of them happen to me already. I'm optimistic now. ;)

By now I've had 3 endoscopic examinations of my big intestine, 3 gastroscopic examinations of my stomach, swallowed a plastic capsule containing a video cam taking several thousand photos of my small intestine over 14 hours on its way down into the big intestine, where it's then exited the usual way, and 1 examination of a 3rd of my upper small intestine with a smaller endoscope on top of a gastroscope, where they finally found the source of my bleeding.

In this extremely rare case they'll need an ER team to take over. And this they couldn't provide during the few days before Easter. So I have to return after Easter for the operation.

And you're right, there's no sense in worrying too much about the 'potential' risks. They may be 'possible', but they're far from 'likely'.

Thank you. Nah, it's a routine operation they say. They'll move with an endoscope about a 3rd into my upper small intestine and remove the source of the bleeding with a tool on the top of it. BUT there's the small chance that removing it will cause another massive bleeding, and while they can in theory stop this also immediately with another tool of the endoscope, there's another small chance it won't stop bleeding still.

Thank You. I'm on the way to getting better, now that they finally found what they believe the cause for my anemia. They just need to remove it, which they didn't feel comfortable with in the crowded days before Easter.
