Yup, she collapsed last Wednesday after complaining she felt a bit ill after coming back from feeding her horses. Turned out that her colon had ruptured a few days previously sending her body into septic shock...which through experience of third stage sepsis first hand, is a killer. She's been on full life support and in a medically induced coma since then, endured 4 serious life saving operations to remove the various organs which had succumbed to the sepsis and had gone necrotic. Her kidneys were failing leading to her being stuck on dialysis to prevent them failing totally. She's got through all that although still on dialysis for the meantime. Now starts the first of the many, many little steps on the long road to recovery.

We've been together 34 years and this is only the second time she's ever been ill. First time was due to a motorbike accident which had us both hospitalised over 10 years ago...she's never had as much as a cold or flu in all that time. I swear she's been saving them all up for this one...To say I'm relieved is an understatement :)

Fingers-crossed you're both back to normality soon 😊

Have the doctors given a roadmap for Mrs MoleHD's recovery development?

Holy Idris @Mole HD hope you and she are over the worst and it all gets better from here.

Humans and especially people like you, trained to act in every situation, are ill-equipped to stand by and feel useless and helpless when something like that happens and you just have to wait from hour to hour. Hope you had / have friends and family to speak to and support you through this. Im sure everyone here would jump on a boat and come help if we could. This is one off-topic nobody will complain about so dont apologise for letting us know and use this forum if needed to get some support from us all.

Now get some sleep if you havent already, your body needs it and your mind does too. gl mate and thoughts with you both.

Just realised what SC and some of its backers reminds me of. Its when Im mowing the lawn and can hear next door's children over the fence. So far this year they have been on Safari and hunted lions and tigers and escaped from a bear, been in a submarine and had to escape when it started sinking, been to space in a rocket and landed on the moon and also visited some sort of magical wonderland with fairies and pixies and evil witches casting spells....all without leaving the garden and just in their imagination.

Now, how do I get them to give me money for their 'experiences'?

Sepsis is a truly horrendous illness, it averages out at roughly a 30% survival rate once the third phase (septic shock) sets in. It causes your body to fight itself and kill off internal organs at a frightening rate, overwhelming it's ability to recover. Once treatment is started, the medical staff have not only to deal with and get rid of the sepsis but repair the damage as it happens. It starves the vital organs of a blood supply causing them to die, starting off with gall bladder, kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas...you get the picture.

If you aren't physiologically strong in the first place...which my wife was, fortunately... the survival rate is measured in days. As for a recovery roadmap...she's got a very long and painful road to go down, although she's survived. They had to remove some of those organs that succumbed to the sepsis, only managing to halt it's devastating effects before it killed off her kidneys or liver. She might still end up on dialysis for the rest of her life, she also had a good portion of her small intestine, her spleen and appendix removed due to necrosis. They also had to repair the tear in her colon that started all this.

The medical staff still aren't sure if her kidneys, pancreas and liver will recover fully, it's too early to tell...it's going to be a hard road. Small baby steps taking one at a time...but at least we've been given the chance to start those steps :)

Mole, I wish you and your wife all the best, she sounds like a very special lady. As absurd as it sounds from someone you don't know and who lives 600 miles away if there is anything I can do I'd be glad to help.

I lost my wonderful partner of 28 years unexpectedly 2 months ago, the kindness, support and sincerity of people around me, some who I barely knew, was truly amazing, the only good thing to come from such tragedy.
Keep on keeping on both of you.

And on a lighter note regarding bikers, I saw a guy on a very large bike in London recently who had written on the back of his jacket:
"If you can read this my wife has fallen off"

Late to the party, no that is not the right time for that idiom damn it 😅 , but I really hope that recovery goes well and steady and you both can have many, many more bike rides. And horse riding. And cow... whatever it is you do with the cows 😋 .

That all sounds incredibly awful, sorry for you both :( Massive credit to the brilliant doctors and hospital staff :)

Could someone please explain how a game that was supposed to come out in 2016 has audio for NPCs being recorded and the narrative reviewed in 2021? Because when it comes to SQ42, there are only three explanations I can imagine:
  1. Project scraped and restarted because it was horrible.
  2. Adding irrelevant fideliciousness because the Chairman is a hopeless narcissistic perfectionist.
  3. Straight up lying and making poo poo up to continue enjoying the life of an entertainment industry CEO. This is not required though, could be done with SC alone. Unless there is a real possibility that releasing crappy SQ42 would result in people turning away from SC.

I just this minute had a phone call from the ICU that they've woken her up after being in an induced coma to help her recover after the 4 operations she's been through. Although only awake for less than an hour, she managed to speak on the phone and apologised faintly for being ill...and had I been feeding the cats and remembering to take my meds and had I changed the bed and washed the bedding :D

The strength of that woman has me in awe...and thank you all for your kind words. I can go to sleep now, first time in 4 days :)

Glad to hear that and hope things go well.

I'm pretty sure Quavers checks this thread. If so, they might like this finely aged quote ;)

"We estimate to get the base Persistent Universe out there is about 20 million... If I was doing this at a big publisher this would be at least a 40 million dollar game."

2013... lol.

That hasn't just aged badly, its aged, soured, grown bacteria, and the bacteria have now evolved to the space age.

Still, i hear they are developing an MMO called Space Bacteria
