TAKING SOME TIME OFF FOR HEALTH REASONS

author=Craze
RMN's userbase gave you Crohn's with our psychic powers that we use as a hivemind against you

WE CAN ALSO GIVE YOU DIARRHEA
























i mean, shit sucks, I feel bad for anybody who has to undergo stuff like that, but, like, why do you think RMN cares, haven't you left three times or so anyway

I like to think some people here care like...all of the people who posted that they care. But idk, psychologically speaking RMN is a bit like a badly healed wound for me. It irritates me like an itch, causing me to pick at it, which just causes more pain. A rational person would just leave it alone, but no one has ever confused me with a rational person.

But seriously I just post here because I figure the people who have expressed sympathy/concern would like an update from time to time; occasionally I get PMs or IMs asking for one. If I'm wrong (???) I'll stop. Also when I'm hospitalized I'll stop. Probably. A 99% reduction in posting (Kentona probably has the stats) is pretty good for me.

"This is Max, from the hospital. Fuck all of you. *ACTIVATE MORPHINE DRIP*"

If I actually thought that everyone here hated me as much as a few people here do, I would obviously post. I mean, it's not like I'm S4D : P.

Next time I post I'll tell you guys about the Xanax bullshit...possibly the most unhelpful prescription ever.

Edit:

I agree with this, I thought Craze's post was sincere and funny, without an ounce of nastiness, I know Max's situation, but do we all have to stand mute and erect like around a deathbed?

Most coherent chana post in the history of ever.

No, I honestly want you guys to just be yourselves; most of you are delightful. I don't expect the fact that I'm controversial to abate just because I came out with the fact that I'm seriously ill (and actually have been all along). Just please refrain from saying things along the lines of "nobody here cares that you're sick, pussy, because nobody likes you". This is not the kind of thing anyone should have to see shortly before they go into surgery. I didn't think that I'd have to like...specify that...but...welp.

*looks at calendar*

DO NOT WANT

two days to the surgery full on panic mode xanax doesn't do shit

OH MY GOD people I don't fucking want this shit to happen.

happy easter to me clear liquid diet starts to say, laparscopic ileocecectomy on tuesday

don't want don't want DO NOT WANT

just read about a 73 year old man's experience with my exact procedure online. he actually did really well for someone that age, he's kind of a badass. his was for a "maybe" cancerous polyp that was too big to remove during a colonoscopy. he seemed completely scared shitless of the surgery beforehand even though he mentioned being in the military and looking at his age probably fought in either korea or vietnam.

fuck.

long term eh?

If the ileocecal valve is removed it will result in an effect called 'dumping.' In other words, the compartmentalization of the last part of the small intestine will be lost and as the material moves into the end of the termal ileum, it's remaining in that portion of the GI tract will be compromised. The fecal material exiting from the terminal portion of the ileum is extremely liquidy. The valve allows for sequential/timed delivery of that material into the ascending colon. Since one of the functions of the colon is to 'recycle' fluids - by recovery - some of that fluid may not be recovered and the contents of the large intestine may remain more liquid if a portion of both the terminal ileum and ascending colon are removed during the surgery. This may result in more frequent output of stool whose contents may be of a more liquid form. Some find they're able to modify their diet to decrease the unwanted side-effects. You may want to discuss this with your doctor.

WHY IS THIS PREFERABLE
