Semi-back! Mini update. Where have I gone?
8 years ago
ACFI was great for a first year con and I will probably be going again next year!
Things kinda went down hill quick right when I got back home though. Husband ended up with, what we thought, was some sort of stomach bug earlier in the day and after a few hours, he got worse. His fever reached 105+ and his limbs cramped/was shaking so bad. We had to take him to the ER (it was really late at night too, we didn't get home til almost 1 am). We didn't know what was going on and the ER doctor for that day didn't tell us shit, didn't even tell us how high his fever was. No real guidance on what to do or where to go next. He got a little better for about a week but relapsed hard, ended up in the ER again. This time we got a doctor that actually explained what happened, gave us direction, etc. Much easier transitioning than the first visit (still a very shitty situation but at least we're going in the right direction). Rinse and repeat. Was good for about a week to a week and a half, then a small relapse again. Went to the ER again to get more information and a medicine concoction to calm down his acid since we figured that might be one of the few culprits causing him so much pain. It helped. We did a follow up with a family doctor, who has done tests on him. So far, things are stable, but he still needs to go see a specialist (hopefully this is soon, I think he got a call but I'm not sure). When seeing a specialist, it could take a few days to a few months. Currently, he's doing fine (for what he's been through) and is on a very strict diet for another month and a half.
So that was my after-con experience. All my attention went to my husband for a few weeks. It was a tough and rocky road, emotionally and physically.
Now that hes able to get back to work, I can finally start working myself. I'm really sorry for the wait and the worries for my disappearance. It wasn't expected, at all. :/
PS: Currently, I'm going through some testing myself too due to my hypoglycemia, anemia, and (MAYBE) thyroid. I'm going to see a specialist for those on the 7th. I have another specialist I need to go see soon too but have yet to schedule it. Go me.

Yikes! We are happy he is better! No need to be sorry, you're health and his are more important. Will pass this info on to Koyia. She still can't log onto FA since the forced password resets and the devs don't care about helping, so she quit trying.
