Kinglobjaw's Blog

As you can see from my IC Mauritius review posted just minutes ago, Kinglobjaw is back. I’ve been away for exactly a month, and it wasn’t by choice. I’ll keep it short, but it won’t be sweet. Basically, a healthy 19 year old who has not even taken so much as an aspirin or tylenol in his entire life got really ill. I had a bacterial abscess in my sinus and I had to stay in a hospital for a few nights. Was no Ritz yet they charged me $1,800 per night. Here’s where it gets complicated. No antibiotics worked, so they had to make a hole in my forehead to drain the abscess= 5 hour surgery. I could have said no to the surgery, but then the ball of bacteria would: a) hit my eye nerve and I’d go blind or b) burst into my brain which would either cause me to undergo a brain surgery or die. And by the way, the bacteria was staph.

I’d like to kindly ask for everyone (who has done so) to stop blaming Africa for this illness! It could have gotten it anywhere…

There, I told you I would keep it short. Other than that, I’ve been on another antibiotic following my surgery and I’ve been generally weak and I’m not supposed to lift more than 5 pounds. I sure hope my keyboard isn’t that heavy. Oh, and I should be sleeping by now.

Have a nice clicK life,

-Mark
