The Last Poster Wins [v30]

[Chakramaster]

Yeah that's a major part of medicine. If it's not taken on time, things could worsen...and that's not good. It'd be nice if they could do something to help maintain things.

I'm so sorry to hear that Noble. I hate to hear you're having to go through this. Hopefully they can find something soon to help get you through this.

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah I’m recovering from the procedures now. They initially said they were gonna move me but now they’re saying they aren’t and blah blah blah.

The second procedure’s results are already back and they couldn’t find anything which is both good and bad.

[Neo Emolga]

Holy cow.

Hopefully they can move you out of the ICU soon, because that's not a pleasant place to be. I'm a bit shocked it has escalated to be this bad, but I'm hoping at least the worst is behind you and you can at least start toward recovery.

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah I mean I’m not in critical condition or anything, they just want me under much closer observation for now. I’m finally able to eat a fully liquid diet which is nice. I’m hoping the worst is behind me too. It’s putting a lot of stress on me and my family. Plus I run out of official leave from work this coming Thursday which weighs heavily on the mind.

It’ll work out somehow, I know it.

[Chakramaster]

yeah probably a good thing being under a closer watch just in case. Since they don't know the exact reasoning yet. Just wish they could help find something as to why.

Still got prayer out for you and your recovery.

[Noblejanobii]

I have been moved out of the ICU and supposedly am progressing well but they still don't really know what's wrong with me. Gotten a lot of speculations on various ends of the spectrum, but nothing concrete. C'est la vie.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers though. I'll take whatever interventions by whichever deities I can get right now.

[Neo Emolga]

VERY GLAD you got out of the ICU. It's high risk for catching infections there, but hopefully now that you're out of there, it won't be long until they get to the bottom of this and get you what you need to get discharged and go back home.

Good luck and all the best, Noble. :3

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah, they think they've figured out what I have and we've got a treatment plan set in place. Unfortunately, it's not the most ideal situation it could have been. It sounds like I'll be discharged by the end of the week, if not sooner, but the trade off is I'm going to be essentially home bound for the next six months-ish. It depends on how I respond to the medications and treatment.

I've contracted an extremely rare immunocompromising disease that is lifelong and of which there is no cure. I'm counting my blessings that I'm alive and that we caught this early, but at the same time, getting confirmation that my life will never be the same is a lot to take in. I have a lot to tackle in the near future, including how to handle my job and stuff. My parents and friends are here to help every step of the way as they can, but the road ahead is long, and we're just going to take it a step at a time.

[Chakramaster]

Man, like you said that's not good news at all. Can only hope it's not like they say and you only get better. It is very good that they caught it early for sure. Seriously take your time and don't rush back into things. Take it at an easy pace for sure. Hopefully you can figure out something on your job side. By home bound I guess you mean no longer in DC?

I'm sorry to hear all this Noble. I hope things will only get better for you soon. Is there a name for whatever this is you contracted?

[Neo Emolga]

No cure... yet. I wouldn't give up hope, even as bad as things seem right now. At least you're alive, but there may be medical advancements in the future that could resolve this disease in due time.

But like you said, try not to swallow all of it at once. Take things day by day, one step at a time. We're all here to support you. :3
