The Attack of the Martian Death Flu

[Epsilon]

So this has not been a fun six days. I came down with some horrible flew like symptoms on Friday, tried to power through on  liquid diet and hit showers/baths and this becomes nonviable Monday when I can't even keep liquid diet down. Head into the free clinic hoping for some pain relief and flu meds but they rush me to the hospital. The hospital does what it does until I start mentioning trouble breathing (always mention trouble  breathing to be skipped up the queue, this is not actually sound medical advice).

So flurry of blood tests later and I may or may not have pancreatic issues (bad), diabetes (worse) and they still can't figure why trying to eat solids causes my lower back to feel like a spike rammed into it. 

But things are under control and I feel better, if not well. Or I will once I get more than 15 minutes of solid sleep/
