I can't believe I only just discovered this site!
Hey RPOL Friends, sorry for disappearing without any warning. I'm sending this quick reply to all my rMail friends as well as the threads I've started here in the GPIA, Beginners, and everywhere else I was posting before I began suffering from one of my migraine-like Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome episodes. Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) is a neurological disease that used to be called "abdominal-migraine" because in addition to uncontrollable nausea and vomiting it also shares a lot of typical migraine symptoms like light sensitivity, halos, etc.
This time, I was unfortunately unable to both abort the nausea-stage or terminate the vomiting-stage of CVS with my home medications. I ended up having to go to the ER and was hospitalized upstairs for about a week to stop the uncontrollable vomiting, deal with the extreme amount of pain, begin to tolerate liquid to solid foods without nausea, and get all my electrolytes back to normal levels so my kidneys could do their job once again. When I got to the ER I was pretty close to renal-failure because the constant, uncontrollable vomiting caused my potassium levels to plummet to near-zero levels. This isn't the first time this has happened and it definitely won't be the last.
Thankfully, I was admitted to a different area of the hospital than the many Covid19 patients. Luckily I continually tested negative for the epidemic while hospitalized and after discharge!
I'm out of the woods so to speak, I'm still not feeling very well, but at least I'm back home! Once I'm finally feeling up to it, I fully intend to get back into developing my Eberron game(s) here on RPOL.
Like I said, I'm doing better now. And my wife and parents and other family members luckily didn't catch the epidemic from taking me to the hospital for my CVS attack. Thank goodness that they're all okay too!
I'm sorry if I worried or disappointed anyone who might have thought I lost interest and just abandoned RPOL. When I'm feeling more up to it, I'll reply with more info pertaining to the game(s) I'd like to start here. Thanks for your understanding!
If you'd like to learn some more about what Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome is, please let me know. I'm happy to explain more about this awful neurological problem I have. Well happy isn't exactly the right word, but you get what I'm trying to say.
TLDR? I unfortunately had to go to the hospital (not due to Covid19 thankfully), but I've been discharged and doing better now. I don't want anyone to think I just disappeared from RPOL without any warning. As my health continues to improve I'm looking forward to continuing to start an Eberron game or two here! I'm sorry if I made anyone think I just didn't want to continue setting up my Eberron games here on RPOL. I fully intend to pick up where I left off before I was hospitalized during my CVS episode. Thanks for your understanding!
