A quick note to everyone:

Not that I've been active lately, but the reason why I was AFK for the last 2+ weeks is that around two weeks ago I suffered a severe concussion (along with a gnarly back injury). I am still in the recovery phase, although I am making progress. It may be anywhere from the very near future to 6 months for my brain recovery to be completed, and my back injury is a "TBA" because I need to go back for a 2nd CT scan (because the first one was all blooded -- up yuck) in order to figure out the extent of the damage. Based on my current concussion symtoms (mostly mild, but persistent), the metabolism of my brain is still screwed up. Although I haven't puked or bled out of my ears or had any seizures (that's the good news), my symptoms include:

- mild tremor (hands)
- some confusion (especially when listening to a wall of talk)
- slower speech and slower response to speech (my wife pointed out that I'm way slower than I was before ... I didn't realize how bad it seemed)
- light sensitivity
- mild pressure inside the head (could be sinus stuff for the most part)
- brain fog
- acute amnesia (the day of/before injury up to about 3h after the injury)
- some memory problems (normally I have a really good memory, but I've been forgetting some pretty basic stuff lately)
- some dizzy spells, especially when waking up
- tiring earlier than normal; some trouble sleeping
- etc.

Overall I am improving but it's a pain in the butt -- quite literally so in the case of the lower back injury. My back injury is slightly to the left side (the apparent hematoma, a.k.a the big bump) is at the middle of my lower back and basically stops at my buttcrack; my left quad gets sore after laying down or putting pressure on the left/middle of the lower back. My limp has improved and I'm feeling less painbut it's still annoying. I had a massive bruise all across my lower back and maybe 1/4 down my butt although it's clearing up.

So that's my update. Once I am better with lights/screens/electronics and my brain has recovered, I hope to be back here more often :) I will stay in touch.

Hope and pray that you have a speedy recovery!!!

Fellow friends and slashers:


I think its time that I relinquish my slashing gear and call it good for now.
I have been increasingly busy IRL lately (As I am sure you can all tell) and I do not think it will quiet down to much soon.
I am finding it increasingly difficult to make time for everything.

I will still be around, as I still plan to help around the site, and will try and make an appearance in vent when I can, but I do
not forsee alot of slashing time anytime soon.

I will be posting up all my gear tonight, and ofc anyone in Labby has dibs first on anything they would like to keep in the guild :)


Thank you all so much for the fun, and I hope that someday down the road I can make a return to the slashing world :)

Keep up the great work guys!

<3
