Okay, time to clear things up. The reason I've been out is because I was hospitalized. I went into Diabetic Ketoacidosis, an acute symptom of Type 1 Diabetes, which I was subsequently diagnosed with. I've been given a glucose meter and insulin, as per usual, and I'm currently at home, typing this. I'm totally fine, and just wanted to get this out there before people start asking questions.
man, it's a relief that you're alright. all sorts of crap went down while you were gone. of course, i'm not gonna bring that up here because all that matters is that you're alright. glad to see you back, bro, even if it's at a time in my life where things aren't so great.
