That does not sound good at all, cause when such happens you need serious medical treatment.

Ye, that actually happened about 4 1/2 years back. My stomach started feeling bad one day, which got worse throughout the day to the point that I couldn't keep anything down. Went to the doctor, who advised that I go to the hospital because I had signs of an infection. The whole time I'm stubbornly trying not to let on about how I'm actually feeling to the extent that on one of those random admission questions at the hospital, when asked to rate my pain I was like "Ionno, a 2?" when at this point I couldn't even stand up straight. Needless to say, my surgery lasted longer than everyone thought it would, I stayed 6 days in the hospital, and spent a month recovering. To add to my stubbornness, I tried to get my butt off the bed just 2 hours after getting out of surgery, causing the drain they had to put in to spring a leak. That was some experience. On the up side, I learn reeeaaal quick to get over my fear of needles due to just how much I had to be exposed to them.

I've never had any organ removal though, when I was in hospital for what would become the origination of how I found out I was diabetic, I was never fond of how I could not get a single hour of sleep from every damned time I'd attempt to sleep, there would be someone trying to draw blood, which literally drove me nuts.

I had a ruptured ovarian cyst once and it hurt so bad I went to take a shower and vomited everywhere just because I was standing up. I thought it was my appendix because it was in the same general area.

Fortunately I've had no such incidents since then. A lot of hair, but no more burst cysts :)

I can't wait until the advent of holographic computing. It will really be something. I'm saving up my money for it, big time.

I wouldn't be surprised if a typical person tries to copy the way I live would suddenly drop dead due to several risky consequences that involves injury(my pain tolerance is too tolerant), stress(superfocus isn't really normal and my working memory would drive someone mad), deprivation(of sleep and social interaction), malnutrition(I'M an unhealthy eater and very picky), and other physical(too much endurance), mental(how aspies operate), emotional(I have no true normal relationship and I'm a bit immature), and spiritual disturbance maybe(due to all the former possible reasons).

And don't worry about me. :| I chose, and I take it. Good or bad, I won't regret it. Even if someone out there kept saying "Laugh now, cry later". No, sorry, but I already 'cried'.

If my mum tried to live the way that I do, she'd end up in the loony bin. She wouldn't be able to handle it. She'd probably apologize for all the things that she put me through, last year around this time.

Oh wow. Yeah, thankfully it wasn't to that extent for me. Actually, at one point they wanted to start glucose testing on me (apparently due to one of the medications they were giving me), but after 5 days of daily blood draws (plus the one at the doctor and the other one when I was being admitted), 2 IV lines, and 3 shots to the abdomen, I declined having my fingers pinched.

Yeah, appendicitis can sometimes be tricky to diagnose simply because other things can mirror it. Actually, people were doubting it was appendicitis in my case, because my pain was on the wrong side. Not sure what caused that.

I've decided to put off seeing Rogue One at the cinema and watch it when it comes out on DVD instead.

I do however plan to see Power Rangers and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 at the cinema.

Sometimes the mirror image is more relevant than the one looking in the mirror itself.

Sometimes it's best to stay out of people's lives
