Hope you feel better, Son of a Noob! I'm glad everything turned out OK!

BrokenVisage, can we please stop going out of our way to make up ways to put that stupid fvcking "... Profit!" thing in every post? That was pathetic, and not funny.

k.. since I rarely do it to begin with I'm sure you won't have a problem seeing me do it again.. not like I would even listen to a dickhead like you if I did, I might even do it more now so good going, loser.

Get some rest. While you're resting, start planning the trip to either Vegas or Mexico for your friend. He has earned the opportunity to catch some STD on your behalf.

What are friends for?

I'm glad you're not dead Son of a N00b, I would never truly wish that on anyone, but I don't believe your story. Call me an as* or what ever "expletive" you or any other AT members would like, but I believe this is BS.

I read Lumbar tap and it brings back horrible memories.

I had the bad version of Lyme Disease when i was like 10 or something. It was further complicated by Pseudo-tumo-cerbrai (Not sure how you spell that) and a bad ear infection (which led to my ear drum bursting). After all of that the one thing that sticks out most is the spinal tap. Dear. Sweet. God. They didn't numb me (a little kid at the time) at all, they merely jammed the needle in and all that stuff. I got at least 3 a week for multiple weeks. At one point, (not knowing that being put to sleep made all pain cease) i fought off the medicene and flat out refused to go to sleep, willing myself to stay awake.

In all of that glad to hear you aren't dead, and sorry you had to suffer through a Spinal Tap (even though you were asleep).

When was the last time you read about a "Spinal Tap" while the patient was asleep Kevin? :confused:

Gamingphreek, I think you need to research "spinal taps," and realize how "alert" the patient needs to be for this 15-20 minute procedure ;)

All i know is that i was wide awake and it was the most painful thing in my life thusfar (hopefully no worse). So it probably didn't feel to good for him, even though he had painkillers.

I really didn't know that they had to be awake, Zim. Ill just take your word on that part :p

Son of a Noob: Don't worry about what others think. On ATOT, someone could say "the sky is blue", or "you need food and water to survive", and you'll still have at least one person say "shens" for no reason. It's happened to me, it's happened to plenty of other people. Just forget about it.

Glad you're okay.
