Hey all…
Just a quick update to check in following my last update a week ago.
I mentioned then I had been in and out of the hospital a couple of times because my heart was acting crazy and that I’d be doing my best to catch up as soon as I was able, but that a lot was up in the air.
It wasn’t a heart attack or anything like that. My heart appears healthy and unclogged, which is a miracle, given my history, but there’s a problem in the electrical system that’s proving a bit elusive. If it becomes an ongoing problem, it can be managed easily with medication or surgery. so you’re going to be stuck with me for a good long time. Sorry.
Things are settling down. I haven’t had any more heart craziness, though it remains unexplained. I’ve had a follow up with my regular doctor and have follow ups with a couple of specialists in the next couple of weeks and through the end of the year. Which, to be honest, is really screwing with my schedule. I’m pretty pissed off though as my goal was to finally get back on track and not have a month wherein I had to cram a month’s worth of content into a week and that I could get ahead on bigger projects, but this is not that month. Maybe November.
Anyway… I’m back in the office and getting myself back to my normal routine. Slowly. The first of the October articles will be posted this weekend to close out the Social Encounter thing. The rest will trickle out over the next thirteen days, though I may have to make some changes in my planned content to stay on track.
If I’m incommunicado here and there, it’s just me taking care of things. Don’t worry if I go dark for a couple of days. If anything serious happens, you’ll know it.
Unfortunately for those I intended to catch up with, I will not be attending Gamehole Con this weekend. Partly, it’s to recover, partly it’s on the advice of my doctor, and partly it’s because of conflicts with follow ups and medical appointments.
Unfortunately, I also can’t promise a Live Chat as scheduled. I will get back on that track as soon as I am able.
Good luck. Hang in there.
Life interrupts our best efforts to live. Here’s hoping the next word-of-the-day calendar page isn’t Defibrillation. 🙂
Glad to hear you’ll be fine, take it easy
Glad you’re feeling better!
Heath comes first. Glad you are on the up and up.
Glad we’re stuck with you! Hope the taking care goes well.
Work should be secondary to taking care of your health. Don’t worry about us, we can wait!
If taking time off from articles and cons for a few weeks means we get more Angry for longer, later, I guarantee most of your Angreons (both paid and unpaid) would quite happily (or angrily?) wait for the next pearl of wisdom. If any other site referred to me as an idiot, and uneducated, I’d leave. But here I stay. Get well soon Scott.
Thrilled to hear that the rumors of your death have been greatly exaggerated. Do what is necessary to keep your heart healthy, you’re not a Klingon <3
Have a good recover!!
Heart trouble always feels scary. Take care of yourself.
Great news sir, take care!
Dude, don’t apologize for keeping yourself alive. Heart problems and brain problems are things you don’t mess around with. We’ll be glad to see you when you get back, whenever that is.
