Bad News (Unrelated to theO) [1/17 UPDATE]

Guys, I'm going to have to go for emergency surgery soon, though I don't know when exactly. Just expect me to disappear for a little bit. I wanted to let you know because I consider you all my friends. Thanks for your understanding and support.

Update: Thank you for all the supportive comments. That means a lot to me. I don't have a date set yet as to when it'll happen. I just hope it doesn't conflict with Anime Central.

Update part deux: I saw the surgeon yesterday. He's giving me a choice between two surgical operations. He gave me the pros and cons of each. I just hope I make the right decision. Either option is going to be invasive, and I'll have to spend roughly a week in the hospital. No date has been set yet.

Update the Third: I have to see at least two more doctors next month for input on my procedure. My case is just that complicated. Also, gotta take some medical tests. Still no surgery date, or even an estimated date. I'm getting a bit impatient because being on a liquid/soft food diet is SUPER HARD. At least it's likely that I'll make it to ACen this year. I hope.

Update-4-All: I just came back from seeing my surgeon. The tentative date for my surgery is August 20. What all this hinges on is my being able to lose 10 to 20 pounds between now and then. Wish me luck.

5 golden updates: The tentative date was tentative for a reason. My surgery has been pushed back to October 1 because my surgeon wants me to lose even more weight. I have to spend FMA Day in the hospital. T_T

I'm to six-y for my update: My surgery date has been pushed back again! I don't know when it'll be now. It could be as soon as October 8 or as far away as December! At least I can sort-of enjoy FMA day.

Seven updates all around you: I kept meaning to tell you guys this, and now I finally have a bit of time to do so. My surgery is going to be on January 28. For realz this time. I've hit my target weight and everything. That means that my Secret Santa is getting their present a little bit earlier than everyone else.

Upd8: OK, so maybe it wasn't "for realz". My surgeon had to postpone AGAIN. This time it'll be February 11. At least, that's what I hope. I'm so frustrated! >_<+
