Medical Woes And Why Bother?

I mentioned it last year, some medical issues I was having. And today I am just beyond frustrated.

Last year I was overwhelmed with a bunch of GI issues. Ended up in the ER at one point because the pain was so bad and in the side where the appendix is, but I wasn't taken seriously and so I left. Learned not to go the ER unless I'm bleeding out I guess.

MANY doctor appointments and referrals, many tests later including both a coloscopy and an endoscopy only to be told: We don't know what is wrong with you. If it gets worse, call us.

They quietly wrote "Irritable Bowel Syndrome" in my chart while never telling me directly.

Because IBS is often handed out when they don't know what is wrong with you. And while I don't doubt that what most people with IBS experience is real and the treatments/suggestions for IBS actually DO help them. . .not the case for me.

My issues: 100% not affected by food. It doesn't matter what I eat. It doesn't matter if I don't eat.

It eventually went away after SEVERAL months of feeling awful all the time.

Almost five months later and I had a routine biopsy for completely unrelated reasons. A week later. . .my stomach issues return. At the same time the results of the biopsy return. They see evidence of a very mild infection. They say it seems so mild they don't think it is chronic and tell me to start antibiotics when they tell me to.

I look up what an infection of that part of the body does. Wouldn't you know it: it lists the symptoms I have. The symptoms I had last year. Feels GI related, but here it is. . .listing the same shit. Would make sense that all my GI testing came back negative.

I bring this up to the doctor. His RN replies instead telling me it sounds more GI related and to go to my GI doctor.

Pelvic pain. Check.

Constipation. Check.

Swelling. Check.

General discomfort. Check.

Malaise. Check.

I have other symptoms like nausea, but my god.

It was like she didn't even read my message.

In my D&D campaign. . .

The players have been away from the city for 8 days. They are returning tonight.

Some are expecting that maybe I have killed or kidnapped an NPC or two. And I have!

I killed a cat that they had talked to a few times.

I will report back with their reaction.

D&D Campaign Rambles

If you are one of my players, then go away.

I made this campaign with the intention of creating a city where, slowly over time, more and more shit begins to happen that would hopefully catch the attention of the PCs.

My hope/goal was to create this campaign where their choices would affect things and that time played an important role. The players jumped right in and, because of course they did, they often go for things I didn't expect them to.

Certainly kept me on my toes, but I have been doing my best to roll with it since. . .I, of course, know what is going on in the "background." Because of all of this they have helped me come up with things that I hadn't even considered. It's been a lot of fun.

The first part of their investigation lays out the story and offers clues about the bigger picture.

Right now, the PCs have decided to venture out into the forest, trying to find an entrance to the Underdark. There were a couple of potential spots. They found one portal entrance and destroyed it and they have reached the final cave worth exploring.

They get to the cave, peer inside, and it seems like a basic bitch empty cave and that's when my Paladin asks me, "Couldn't you have made your game easier?" Lol. What? Only one person had gone into the cave at this point and there was a hidden entrance to the "dungeon" I wasn't going to let them miss. I was surprised she was giving up so soon. On a funny side note, this "dungeon" is where they are finally going to get a "win." At least if they don't fuck up royally. They are going to rescue a few people, including the NPC tagalong's father. They will also get a little more information and a little secret thing that I won't say just in case two of my players are untrustworthy and reading this :P After the session, I asked the others if they felt my game wasn't going anywhere, and they all said no. I spoke with Adem after we got offline, and he gave me some reassurance.

When I first crafted this campaign, I came up with custom backgrounds to hopefully get the PCs/Players interested in the city and care about what happens to it. Originally, I was going to kick things off with something big right away, but as we got closer to my first session, I realized it would be better to let the PCs naturally care about NPCs and give the players time to grow interested in the different NPCs available. That way when things REALLY kick off and bad shit REALLY starts to happen, it will hopefully have an actual impact.

That's my hope anyway.

I would LOVE to write an actual campaign book someday, after this is all over, so other people can enjoy it. Hopefully it will turn out good enough for me to do so~

Two atheists continue to watch House of David

I swear someone could film us reacting to this because we get so animated watching it.

Adem: (Pauses the episode like 2 minutes in.) They wouldn't have cavalry. They would have been using chariots. Me:

Later. . .

Adem: Oh my god why doesn't David just leave? GO. Me: . . . Adem: He is supposed to have passion in his heart? GO THEN! LEAVE! Adem: (Mocking voice) Oh but I can't. My dad won't let me! My dad said no! So I guess I will just stay! Me: Isn't there something about respecting your father and mother? Adem: Yes! It's one of the commandments! Me: HE'S RESPECTING HIS FATHER THEN! Adem:

Me: THIS IS WHY GOD CHOSE HIM!!!

Earlier...

Adem: (Yelling at the screen.) Thou shall not bear false witness! It's one of the commandments!

Finally...

Show: ". . .They have more chariots than we can count." Adem: I haven't seen a SINGLE chariot!!!

[anigraham]

Two atheists watch House of David

It's a fun show. We are 6 episodes in.

Adem: God is a dick! Me: It's the Old Testament. Adem: Everything bad happening is God's fault! Me: It's the Old Testament! Adem: Saul's suffering. David's suffering. Even Samuel is suffering because God is being a petty dick! Me: It's the Old Testament! Adem: God is the bad guy here and I wonder if it's the writer's intention! Me: It'S tHe OlD tEsTaMeNt!

DAVID

Note: I couldn't help myself. I had to see what he would look like as a photo-realistic person.

D&D Ramblings

So I am running a campaign for my friends. It is a pretty basic plot, but lots of fun it seems.

The short of it: More and more shit keeps happening to this city, some people should do something. And you can blame the drow for it.

Anyway! When I originally planned this campaign, I was imagining everything happening in the city itself for the most part, but the PCs found good reason to explore the area outside the city.

It's been a lot of fun for me as I have been thinking about things outside of the city and letting them rummage through it all. I have the basic plot in mind and what the BBEG is doing in the background so it's been entertaining to see how things go based on what the PCs do.

Anyway. They have spent several days outside of the city and soon they should be heading back. I had everything planned for this Friday's session only. . .I watched two D&D DMing related videos and I have new ideas and something I want to set up and it's like. . .why do I do this to myself lol.

Amusing how I went from a session where I had a solid description, combat, and a couple of important items planned to. . .I need to draw out some maps, figure out some NPCs, two combats, and a trap. I know it will be more rewarding than what I was originally planning and it gives me a way to release some new information that I wasn't sure how to get in front of the PCs.

The Graham Aker art masterpost (for now)

the last 2 might be updated / edited once the Exia portrait set comes out since those two are meant to be a pair / set (I'll post Exia in a bit + lore but she's right next to him in chibi form in pic 1).

Speaking of Graham, after drawing him I realised just how similar his hair is to Setsuna's??

Using Tumblr Like OG Facebook

Every single day I chase my own tail Like a rat inside a maze Gotta get, gotta get, get away

I'm running out of time For me to break this I'm tired of feeling like I'm never gonna make it

[ooppo]

You guys aren't going to believe your fucking eyes

[oncillaphoenix]

the spirit is willing but the flesh is experiencing technical difficulties

[anigraham]

For me the spirit isn't willing either. Meanwhile the brain is trying to turn off and on again to fix wtf this is.

[anigraham]

Depression

I wonder if I track the intensity of my depression and my Tumblr usage, if you could find a correlation.

Anywho. Life sucks. Had a breakdown because of work. Two managers wanted me on a call. Told my manager I couldn't right then because I was on the phone with my doctor.

Join the call once I was able to.

My Manager: (Jokingly.) Ani was probably on the call with their psychiatrist, trying to get more meds.

Me, who was actually on a crisis support line:

D&D Campaign

What if I used Tumblr to ramble about my D&D campaign since I have no one to talk to about it and what if the two players who know about my Tumblr don't read my posts about it?
