I'm finally back...

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

Hello every one, I haven't been on the forums for a week or so, so I guess I'll explain...

First, a couple weeks ago, I started feeling extremely sick, like the flu or something. I had this for about 5 days, and then I started to feel a little better. I got on, posted one pathetic, short, insignificant message and got off. Sadly, I started to feel bad again, so I went off to the doctor's office, and it turned out I had... *dramatic pause for effect* pneumonia! Well, I had to stay at the hospital for about 5 dreadful days in which I had to do several annoying treatments to move all that crap (not literally crap..)out of my lungs. I was on oxygen, too. They sent me home yesterday, still hooked up to oxygen. I still have to take some treatments and stuff, but it isn't nearly as bad as having some sweaty, creepy doctor creep in at 2:00 in the morning and force to suck on some weird tube blowing out smoke...

Any way, for the people who don't really care what I'm ranting about, in short: I had pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital for 5 days. Well, I'm happy to be back... to any newbies who never met me, I am Melvin, or Mel, Melly, Melv, and an obscure one: Van Helsing. Hellooooooo to you...

Edit: Oh, this is my 455th post... good one for it, I suppose.

Welcome back, Van Helsing! I haven't had any good laughs for a while. I'm glad you are back, buddy. MSN has seemed kind of vacant without ya.

pneumonia.. if it's as painful as it is hard to spell, I feel bad for ya man! The worst sickness I've ever had is I got the flu REALLY bad.. I seem to not get sick very much, and when I do it's just little meager things. Oh well. It's both good (I'm not sick!) and bad (I have to go to school!)
