Nice to be Back

[rizon72]

Ugh, this year has been anything but kind so far. Started with a nasty cold in January. When that was finished got a backache. That backache persisted for several weeks went to the doctor because I popping Motrin like tic-tacs and it wasn't helping. After a couple of doctors appointments, muscle relaxants, x-rays and pain pills they put me for an MRI thinking I might have a slipped disk (joy). Meanwhile I have no appetite, thinking due to the pain in my back, living off ensure.

 

Then lost all feeling and movement below the waist, not a fun thing. Went to the ER, another MRI, then a CT scan of my upper chest.

 

Doc told me I had an infection in my lung (which explained my being out of breath by just walking to the bathroom) and it had spread to my blood and then my spine which caused a collapse of two disks causing my paralysis.

 

A six hour surgery later, 8 days in ICU, four more in the hospital before going to inpatient rehab for 45 days and then outpatient for 2-3 months and I'm almost back to normal.

 

But its nice to be back, though I need to reinstall Skyrim and NMM as before all this it was acting up and messed up, nothing a clean install won't fix (though I had forgotten my password to Steam).

 

Now I just have to do the reinstalls, and go through the mods and see what good stuff has come out in the past 5 months.
