No not serious, just potentially bad. I have scar tissue from a previous operation, and sometimes that clamps down on my small intestine, closing it off. So basically I go in, they give me a Nasal-Gastro tube (very painful) which continually pumps out my stomach and monitor me until it untwists itself. Then they gradually restart my digestive system.
I'm good now. Thing is, as soon as it's over, it's over. Just have to watch my diet a bit.

Yuck. Can't they rid you of the rogue scar tissue?
Not that they wouldn't of thought of that of course

I was wondering where you were.
Now I know.
How are you now? Do you have to take time off working in the lab?
Well, to cheer you up, there have been some new additions to the cabal gallery.

Nah, I don't have to take any time off. I'm basically ready to resume full activity. I'm taking today/tonight off, so that I get my balance back - I've been basically bed ridden, so I'm a little uncoordinated right now. I just don't want to fall off something or damage the machine. That's what is so weird about this - I go from hospital for four days to fully normal.

Thanks FB. Marsh man is closer, given the number of times I've ended up muddy and mosquito-bitten...
