Health Update and CBH News

When I last posted post surgery I was feeling pretty good all things considered. That lasted about a day. Unfortunately, there were some complications from the surgery (I had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia which made so itchy that it was nearly impossible to sleep for a week) and after that I started to really feel the effects of Uremic Poisoning (a result of my kidney failure) which, believe it or not, also made me so itchy that it was nearly impossible to sleep. So, that was my December (Christmas was nice, though). I've started dialysis which has made me feel much better but it's been a bumpy road there too and complications have forced me into more surgery next week (Hoo. Rah.). But it's apparently that or having a shunt thrust into my neck for emergency alternate dialysis (trust me, I'm trying to leave out as many ghastly details as I can). I'm frustrated that things have not gone more smoothly and I'm impatient to get on with my life (altered as it will be but better). I don't expect to continue with these Health Updates because I don't want to be The Sick Guy anymore. And to that end...

Comic Book Heaven: LIVE! returns to WonderCon in February. I'll put up a proper reminder a bit later but if you plan to go to the con keep Saturday (Feb. 28) morning open for some CBH-style fun (by the way, I will be fine by then so don't plan on seeing me hooked up to an oxygen tank and wheeled in by a nurse or anything like that -- I will be a comic book comedy beast and ready to roll).

Good to hear! Well, the good stuff is good to hear. I itch for about an hour after I take a shower. Go figure! A bath, no problem, but something about a shower drives my skin crazy. If I itched for a week I'd probably murder somebody. So I admire your restraint!

No Wonder Con for me. If you ever bring the show East I'd love to attend.

I'd like to combine a road trip with a Southern US or East Coast con one day but family obligations keep me tethered to West for now.
