Well this was pretty much inevitable. I've explained my situation to some degree in the c-box but probably haven't conveyed the severity so I'll just give a general rundown. Take my usual hospital topics and amplify them by ten: Eating is pain, moving is pain, blinking is pain, sitting is pain, sleeping is pain; if you can do it then it causes pain and is amplified to the umpteenth degree. I'm not exaggerating when I say if left to my own devices without the aid of serious medications I would probably be dead in a month.
Thankfully my doctor seems to agree and has emergency STAT ordered my IV treatment, I will be receiving it early in the morning in about 4-8 hours depending on when they mix it and the nurse can pick it up.
Unfortunately this is far from a foolproof or even a good idea, it's simply the only choice I have left. The medication, especially when taken while in a critical state, is incredibly dangerous. Side-effects under my current level include seizures, asphyxiation, and perhaps the most likely of them all due to the multiple open cuts on my body (caused by inflammation drying and cracking the skin) is infection and a high likelihood of sepsis, infection of the blood. These aren't small chances when somebodies in poor health, some of them like super-infections have up to a 25% rate of occurrence.
If any of these occur you can guarantee I'll be in the hospital for an extended period, or given the condition of my health very possibly dead. So that said I'm letting you all know what's happening, and if I disappear you can assume things didn't go so well. Even if I don't have an immediate reaction there's still a window within the first two weeks for infection, so it's hardly a do-or-don't-know thing.
Under the assumption that I do disappear Zhiel is in charge and can do as he wishes with the site, or if he wants to pursue a rebirth of the site as we've spoke then I ask that you support that.
Anyway that's that. Thanks for writing with me these past few years. See you around, or maybe not.
