Steve Warner's Dark City

[serenity]

I'm home in bed now. "Luckily" it was a concussion. Glad it wasn't a hematoma or skull fracture or anything else I freaked myself out reading about on WebMD.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the well wishes and prayers a lot. And the leftover cake.

Welcome back bateman.  Glad your doing ok.

Take a bath, then wrap a hot towel around your head.

Bateman,

so sorry to hear about what you had to go through. Sending positive energy your way, and here's to a complete and full recovery.

bateman- 
Good to hear you're physically ok.  Another often neglected issue after an assault is the emotional trauma which also needs time to heal.  We don't leave home expecting to be mugged.  Don't be too hard on yourself about what you 'should have, 'could have' done.  Take care...

True.  Bateman, you might want to get a bottle of Scotch, a decent pair of cigars, pull a chair out on the porch and self medicate.  Works for me.

Sorry about the cake man.  But, the prayers are ongoing.  Be well and know that we all love you Steve.

Steve - I was shocked when I read this thread just now.  I'm so very sorry that happened. What pricks!!  Grrrrrrrrr just makes me mad when I think about it.
Very relieved and happy you're okay and resting.  A candle is already lit here and I'll be sending LOTS of good vibes and healing energy.

I wish I were close enough to drop off some of my magic muffins.

Good advice from both.  I'd also add my strategy of using first-person shooter videogames to blow off steam.  Blasting scores of virtual mutants/nazis/aliens can help. 

In any case do what ya gotta do to recover, it may take some time to get past it, just be patient with the process if you can.  Take care man.

Steve- I'm glad you got checked out and are taking care of yourself. We want you back to your snarky, brilliant self ASAP.

PS- I checked in on your cats and I must say, they are really spoiled!

Yeah they are.

..I freaked myself out reading about on WebMD.

I do that all the time.  I've convinced myself I've had more fatal illnesses than I can remember.

Hang in there.

WebMD and the internet is about the worst place to identify a problem. Seriously I think doctors and clinics invented it to generate more clients: "Doc I had this headache and sneezing the past few days and yeah I know it is ragweed season but I think I might have the beginnings of the Sumatran encephalitis spread by the Nias Island spider-mite...."

Get well Bateman!

I totally agree. I've had a little luck with putting "natural remedies" into the search bar, along with the dreaded hypothesis, but the results have been iffy. Does anyone have a good medical site that doesn't have pictures of boils in the corner?

Yes we shall be monitoring bateman until he returns to healthy snarkiness levels.

LOCK THEM UP & THROW AWAY THE KEY! *stamps feet*



They hurt our sweet prince Bateman. UNACCEPTABLE!

[albrecht]

I suggest binge-watching all the Deathwish movies, Equalizer tv shows, and followed up by "Rolling Thunder" and "The Exterminator" and "Outrage" (a made-for-tv classic with Robert Culp and "based on a true story!"

Get well.

[popple]

GET WELL SOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

[trostol]

GET WELL SOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

[GravitySucks]

OK, you, had plenty of time.  Get off your ass and do a podcast. Move it!

[popple]

I'm currently conducting surveillance around Bateman's compound. I am disguised as a starbucks frap...



When summer hits I'll be an ice cream cone. BATEMAN MUST BE PROTECTED! He is the future~



I have a pine cone disguise as well but there aren't many pine trees to make it believable.

Spinner, that porcupine video trostol posted upthread would cheer me up even more than muffins if I was having a rough day.  Whatever it is, I hope it gets better for you soon.
