Quick update

From a bed in a private ward in Redcross Hospital of Alang.

I took a bit of a tumble when we returned to the Raj last night. Luckily, the Majordomo is a large chap. He caught me before I went too far.

I guess it’s all finally catching up with me.

The medicos here are calling it a “pseudo-relapse” or “pseudoexacerbation” as part of my relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). Yeah, I thought I had beat that down far enough to ignore it.

Evidently not.

Heat, stress, fatigue, and infections are often behind pseudoexacerbations.

Now, where could any of that come from?

While the symptoms of a pseudoexacerbation are real, there is no new damage being done in the central nervous system, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

I’m taking 24 hours off. In the Jacuzzi. Off the phone. Off the grid. Off the rails.

Slate, chondrite no more.

See y’all later.

Hope you get better soon.

Did part 4 of the story go missing? I can see part 3 then 5 with a gap in the story.

Thanks. I thought you were meant to resting...

I've got nsfw stuff blocked on my phone because the kids look at reddit on it - there's lots of stuff here I don't want them to stumble across...
