Knock Knock, Neo... er... Wonderduck
(yawn) {stretchhhhh}
Boy, helluva nap, that. I was supposed to have dinner with the folks at 6pm, wonder what time it is?
Oh. Oh boy. That's gonna be hard to explain. Well, lets give it the old Duck U try, hey?
You members of the Pond Scum that have stuck around have been told a little bit thanks to Brickmuppet and Ben, both of whom deserve praise (or scorn, whichever) for keeping me sane for the past very long time.
Short ha ha ha version: blood clot in the leg, with added problems, like a previously unknown UTI and a kidneystone. And with some nutritional problems to boot because this all started with some leg pain like I have gotten for years. But it got worse, to the point where getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom was about the limit of what I could manage... so I stopped eating. For about 10 days, give or take, Then Feb 28th, as I tried to shower, my leg stopped doing leg things,
when I fell, I miraculously missed everything so it was about as good as you could hope for. Except now I was naked on the floor of the bathroom, unable to stand up, or really move at all without the leg exploding, So I called 911 and actually said "I've fallen and can't get up." It only took a few minutes for the EMTs and firemen to show up, and they then proceeded to drag me bodily into the living room, got me on a tarp, and got ready to take me out to the ambulance.
At which point, one of them asked about my collection of Haruhi Suzumiya figures. I was more than happy to chat about the 110 figure collection... I'm just a few obscure figs from having every scale, prize, trading, and posable figure listed on myfigurecollection, and the general consensus is that it's probably the largest collection of its type in the US. So I've got that going for me.
Which is nice.
That was the last fun I would have for about a month.
When they carried me to the ambulance, it was snowing. Also, the streets they took to the hospital need some SERIOUS roadwork, because every bump, pothole, or slight depression in it transmitted itself directly to my leg. i'm pretty sure I didn't scream at all. Much. The ER was waiting for me and thus ended any dignity and hope I've ever had in my life.
NEXT TIME: More Zombies. Oh my god, did that joke feel good.
ALSO NEXT TIME: Welcome To The Pleasuredome Hospital.

Welcome back! Hopefully this means you've flown the hospital coup and can rejoin our flock more permanently!
Hopefully this link works and will be a bit of celebration of your flight to freedom

So glad you're back and posting, hopefully your various maladies have been properly taken care of and you can resume the continuing pursuit of rye bread and anime with rubber ducks in it.

I have to admit I had completely lost track of time and was actually shocked that it's been just short of a year.

So good to hear from you! As Will can attest, I've been about as worried as you ever get about an internet stranger (which, it turns out, is quite a lot). Welcome back!

Hey, Duck! I'd seen some of your posts on Reddit, but it's good to have you back in the old stomping grounds too. Glad to hear things are looking up.

So glad you're back. I may have saved a duck or two for you as well, but I wasn't sure how well received they would be, and I had no idea it would be this long....
Hopefully everything back at home is still okay.
