CarrionCrow: That all sounds like a massive godsdamned mess,

Don't worry about self-censoring what you say. You're welcome here, whether you're in a good mood or bad, good situation or bad.
1. It is, and I keep wanting to just punch someone but I'm not sure who it would be.I'm not a violent person in real life, well, except for a bout of anti-racist action participation in my twenties when I literally fought neo-nazi's and other racists in several US states,but otherwise, I confine my violence to video games.

2. Well, some people here seem to accuse anyone of posting things like this as merely asking for attention, being dramatic, or otherwise insulting. By here I mean the gog forums in general, not this thread, so far.

That doesn't surprise me.

But this thread exists for people to talk about whatever they want to. So don't worry about that part of it. =)

Yeah, it makes me chuckle when I read posts proclaiming gog.com forums to be the best place on the internet. That depends greatly on your point of view, who you knew, and how much bootlicking you do to certain "veteran" members.

Some people are just asses that want to bring you down for the dreadful sin of being a human with a functioning sense of empathy.

Typical internet garbage.

Fuck 'em.

Only thing here is to talk rather than fight and be decent to each other.
Other than that, it means precisely jack shit how long you've been on the forum, what your rep is or who you know.

Ragnarblackmane: Not really, I posted here awhile ago about my father being in the hospital and his situation hardly improving, he spent some weeks at one of the worst rehab/old folk's homes I've ever heard of or seen(note to self:Die before I let someone put me in such a hole) then was moved back to the hospital after suffering bedsores and for a biopsy. Well, the doctor who performed the biopsy, despite having a "stellar reputation" managed to mash down nerves near his spine which caused numbness and eventually excruciating pain in his right leg. He's being taken over to a different rehab center soon,either this evening or tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile starting at about Sunday morning at 3am my mom got flu-like symptoms and luckily I was staying over so was able to take care of her. We were hopeful it was just a 24 hour bug but she became ill again sometime yesterday, went to the doctor today to see if she had mursa which she might have gotten from visiting my dad in the hospital and spending most of her days there, then got sent to get a test for blood clots in her leg, but luckily they didn't find proof of that.

It's been a hellish few days.

Ragnarblackmane: Just got home from visiting my dad.My mom insisted on going despite having intense pain and other unpleasant health issues, so I drove us in spite of misgivings.
The new rehab center seems a lot nicer,newer, and cleaner than the other place. My dad was really out of it when we arrived, they had just settled him in and he was still on a painkiller cocktail.The worst part is that my mom and I bickered over some trivial nonsense about the paperwork and errata which obviously put stress on my dad. I felt terrible and I'm sure she does but lately our relationship has been adversarial, we're a lot alike and deal with stress the same way.

Thanks to endre, lordtrek,adalia, and LaPtiteBete for the hugs and concern. I often don't like discussing my problems here because I figure "who cares, who should care, everyone else has things going on in their lives" and I trust very few people with these things normally. Lately, though, that faith has been shaken.
Very sorry to hear of your parents' health troubles, Ragnarblackmane. One illness is bad, two together is too much.

Is your mom getting slowly better? Did they find evidence of MRSA?

I'm glad your dad is at a better place than he had been. So many nursing homes here really are hellholes. My dad took his first few whiffs of the place where my now deceased grandmother had been placed by her other kids and got her out of there. My most recent ex is a social worker who worked in a bunch of nursing homes (now at a hospital) and she walked out of several before an interview even took place. At least he's hopefully not in much pain. Don't worry about any stress you may have caused him - you have plenty on your plate right now without adding guilt.

And always remember that the regulars in this thread (the real regulars, wish I qualified) are a caring, non-judgmental source of comfort when all you need is an ear. Or a virtual hug.

If you're a decent person? You qualify. =)

I really do hate that "regular" title. Some people end up using it as some sort of superiority, when in actuality all it means is that a person has a place that they go to frequently.

I'm a "regular" at the local convenience store. Doesn't mean I get to cut in line, curse at other customers and get free stuff sometimes.

That's certainly not how I mean it when i use it re: this thread, but I'll see if I can come up with something better. :)

-laughs- You don't need to come up with anything. It's better with you around, that's more than sufficient.

Not sure if I should drop coin on low-priority items in the current sale. Stuff like the Omerta DLC and Edna & Harvey aren't exactly making me run for my wallet, but I have the other parts of their series here and want them completed.

Seriously wishing Hotline Miami 2 and Pillars of Eternity would get here already.

Thanks again for the supportive posts, it may seem insignificant and simple but trust me, it means something to me.

Thankfully NO MRSA, but of course I'm still on the watch.

The place has really good feedback from a family friend and gets consistently high praise from the staff of the hospital my dad was in, plus judging by my time spent there tonight there are lots of cute nurses.My dad is a gentleman who would never cheat on my mom even if he stopped loving her but there's no harm in looking, maybe it will even help his recovery process:)

I'm sorry to learn you went through a similar experience yourself, the way that the US views the elderly in general has always ashamed me.

On the one hand, I am sometimes defensive of being a "veteran" of some places or communities, but usually so that I can act as a guide of sorts to new people. On the other hand, I hate elitism, even though I've fallen prey to it myself from time to time.


For now, I'm calling it a night. Thanks for the kindness all, cheers.

Honest answer? I don't want to talk about it. So how are you doing? What game are you torturing yourself with at the moment? ;-)

Fair enough.

Until a few minutes ago I was doing a replay of Dawn of War 2. Only thing is, I'm getting bored and it turns out that while you can customize the main character, you get penalized for doing so.

Didn't know that one. So, I might restart the whole game. Or I'll suffer through it so I can get the game done once and for all.

It's nice putting games in the "I'll never feel the urge to play this again, ever" pile.
