Well this has been an extremely crazy week. I'll try and recap to the best of my ability so i can cut to the part where i gush about how awesome you all are and how happy your kind words and support have really restored my faith in humanity.
So, at about 12am Saturday night my back started hurting, thinking it was just muscle pains i ignored it and continued to work, at about 3 the pain was almost unbearable so i attempted to sleep it off to no avail. by 4 i was writhing in pain on the floor trying my best to put off the inevitable emergency visit, at this point i was vomiting uncontrollably but was convinced it was just food poisoning and once it was out of my system I'd be ok.
At 5:30 my wife called my mother who picked us up and took me to the emergency room. The nurse's 1st thought was that i was somehow having an aneurysm, this of course freaked out everyone to the point of tears but after an EKG it was ruled out. At about 6:30 i was given morphine and by 8 i was put through tests to find out what was wrong, right away they could see my gallbladder was very inflamed and needed to be removed, but the scans also showed an abnormality on my liver that could potentially be cancer, this of course didn't go over well with anyone and the next 15 hours waiting for results of a 2nd scan was extremely hard on everyone. results came back negative, the abnormality was nothing more then a fatty lump, who'd a thought? :).
the next day i was setup for surgery, gallbladder removed and sent home at 11pm the next day, and have been slowly recuperating at my couch and pc for the past 2 days.
At some point while i was in the hospital My wife Danielle hijacked my facebook and posted the news, it wasn't long till people started sending donations and well wishes.
Now ill do my best to say this as honestly and clear cut as i can.. I appreciate every single amount of effort you've all put into the kind words you've sent me and money you've donated. I didn't expect anything like this at all, being in a drug addled haze for the past 5 days and waking up to something like this was beyond moving and brought me to tears many times. I love all of you guys and hope to repay you all in some way eventually.
Running the risk of forgetting someone i feel the need to really mention a few names of fellow devs that i really love and respect, my Team Meat partner Tommy, Matt from flashbang, Derek, Tyler, Tom, Daniel B, the guys and gals at Kongregate, John, Jeff, Kyle, the wolf fire guys, Matt Thorson, Metanet,Anna, Dan A... the list goes on, and i know im forgetting many... Everyone at Gonintendo, and other wii blogs, all of you guys that twittered and posted on your blogs, Everyone that sent me e-mails and well wishes... you guys have made me feel very accepted and wanted and words cant express how good all this has made me feel. Expect something special in the mail from me in the coming months :).
But of course above all i need to thank my wife, Danielle, who stuck by my side the whole way through, i cant imagine how hard this was for her to deal with, i just feel so grateful for having her.
For those of you wondering about my insurance/money situation please don't worry about me. Ill be ok, you've all done more then enough and i don't go down that easily. I'm healing up well, I'm motivated and already getting back to work on SMB.. i can only imagine what games this experience will inspire :)
You guys are awesome friends.
Here's a pic of my ass in a hospital gown as a gift to all of you!

yay your alive big fan i would've cried if you were well you know dead anywho YAAAAAAAAAY
Glad to hear you're okay. I guess the best way to repay these people (i'm not really in, i've just heard the news but i wish you a good recovery) is to continue making great games. In the end that means more work for you, too bad.
Cheers from France.
PS : What a long... line !
Really great to hear you're better!
I should stalk you on Facebook... It's character building! Do you get to keep the gallbladder? I reckon you could use it as inspiration for some fantastic things, if you ever want to see it again after this.
Potoman: The line is that long for a reason.
Hahah, nice photo - hope the after effects of the removal (you know what I mean) don't linger too long!
"restored my faith in humanity"
Don't get us wrong, we're still horrible people, just caring.
Nice photo, and might as well:
"One of us. One of us..."
sadly they wouldnt let me keep it.. i had dreams of putting it in a jar and dressing it up in a tux.
You have just put a line there because you peed on the floor :P
Holy shit, you have the same butt as me.
hah, my word verification was "urinstr"
Urine Str+1
Nice to see you're getting better !
But, oh boy, I didn't need to see this photo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I wrote earlier : Bon rétablissement !
Man, you're freaking awesome and if you had something serious, i would probably cry my eyes out. Anyway, i see you're well equiped, wink wink nudge nudge.
I wish I hadn't clicked on that link. x(
But anyway, yay you're alive! And I guess that donate thing *wasn't* a hoax... I'll donate excessively, once I get some money in my PayPal account. :)
That sweet ass is payment enough.
got my money's worth. glad to know you're doing better/
