Kia ora koutou, I've had a bit of a health scare;

I'm OK, but I need to take a couple of days off doing anything potentially stressful, like working on anything related to fediverse.party or SocialHub.

EDIT: Huge thanks to all the medical workers and support staff who helped me last night. See the linked blog post for the story. You folk are legends and this government has betrayed you, along with the rest of us.

Thanks @evan. At a number of points I thought I might actually by dying, although it turned out to be much less serious than that.

It was pretty scary. But my main response was disappointment that maybe I wouldn't get to watch my grandchildren grow up. It was a great relief to wake up the next morning and realise that I'm still here for them.

early warning;

(I am not a medical expert, take grain of salt as appropriate)

If you are sick, *rest*.

My flatmate and I have had a nasty illness over the last couple of weeks. It started with a runny nose, and proceeded to gut discomfort - especially in the kidneys - intense headaches, and fever. Leading to both of us having episodes where we passed out and woke up on the kitchen floor.

Not sure what it was but you don't want it, and if you get it nobody else does. Stay home!
