So I had a few people ask me why I haven't been that active the last year or so. And I've given some excuses to people. But I just got back from my doctor and I decided to give the real reason.
About a year ago, they found a tumor on my pancreas. I went to the doctor originally thinking I was getting diabetes like the rest of my family. My insurance was going to expire soon so I wanted to get it over with. And instead they found a tumor. So I had surgery and got that removed. I told my friends about this irl but not on PC. It wasn't serious enough for me to take a DLoA or anything.
Three months later I went to the doctor for a checkup and it turns out they didn't get to the tumor in time and it had spread to the rest of my body. Well, specifically my chest. I had a huge lump on my chest: breast cancer. I found this all out on my birthday by the way so I wasn't a happy camper.
So in secret, without telling anyone outside of my immediate family, I started undergoing treatment. I was living in an apartment at the time with some friends so I was doing this behind their backs. My flakiness and constant tiredness ruined my friendships with these guys for a while. I was too scared to tell them I was really sick so I decided to look like an ass instead.
But recently I was told the chemotherapy was going to be done soon and I realized it was time to come clean.
So in lieu of having cancer and realizing how precious my life was, the trivial problems of running a Pokemon forum fell on the wayside. I love PC so I didn't want to give it up. But all the stupid, mundane **** people care about here really didn't matter to me anymore.
But I'm back in full force practically (except I started school again so that + work will still keep me busy.) I love you all and hopefully I won't delete this soon out of embarrassment.
