Want to feel better about your life?

So I mentioned on Cadaya’s journal that I had been part of a play by e-mail D&D game that flopped before we even saw combat because the GM just suddenly stopped mailing. Today he wrote to tell us what was going on.

Hello all, I am finally back after a few days (weeks?) in the hospital.

I wound up getting pnuemonia again, this time it infiltrated both lungs and
I had an alergic reaction to one of the meds they gave me for it which
created a second infection in both lungs and cuased respitory failure, so I
was placed on a ventilator for two days (now comes the funny part) so one of
the steroids they give you for pnuemonia and recovery from the ventilator
causes your blood sugar to sky rocket, well I am a type II diabetic and this
caused me to go into sugar psychosis and I guess I threw my doctor around (I
don’t remember) so anyway they were forced to tranqualize me but this cuased
me to go into a diabetic coma for three days (I think that is what they
said) and when I woke up I had a completly destroyed rib cage (all the
cartilidge had seperated from the bone) so I have been nursing back to
health, I got home yesterday and today is the first day I have been able to
walk by myself, sorry about all that hope you all understand

(name)

I don’t know about you, but I now feel much better about all the crappy things that are going on in my life. I mean, yeah, family troubles, PDD daughter, mounting bills, drugs for depression… but at least I didn’t get treatable illness that progressed to leave me with no rib cage.

Yes, definitely feeling better about life.

    Good lord!

    I can’t imagine that! How does a person continue to survive like that?
