One of Our Own...(Tarberetta is in the Hosptial)

[Sebastian Kain]

I just got an ingame message not to long ago from someone who knows Tarby. Apparently he was admitted into the hosptial recently for food poisoning, or so he thought..

It turns out that he really had a pancreatic attack and nearly died because of it.

It is to my understanding he is doing better right now and it looks like he'll be okay.

I'll give him a call later today if I get a chance.

Other than that I'll keep you guys posted.

My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Wish you a speedy recovery Tarbs.

- SK

[suburbanhell]

WOW. Send him all our best SK.

[Meltman]

Damn man, I hope he's alright...

[Poison]

Please tell him to get better soon and our best wishes, from Sech and myself. He's been having a tough year so far. :/

[ThunderMace]

Sh*t, Find out how he's doing, willya?

[Joe Schmoe]

Holy crap, likewise, hope he's okay. :(

[Akamaz]

same here!

[The Widowed]

I guess that explains why Tarbie's been so quiet lately. What exactly does a pancreatic attack do to you, anyway? It doesn't sound pleasant. :think:

Get back with us soon, Tarbs!

[bpphantom]

Keep us posted SK. Again, let him know we're worried and thinking about him.

[Enlightened One]

Geez. I hope Tarby comes out of it on top, definately sorry to hear about that. :\

Wids, if this is what our friend has, it's pretty nasty... (if not, sorry for linking to incorrect info)

[Graphite]

Oh Gez. My thoughts and prayers are with him.
Thanks for posting it SK.

[Masked Revenger]

Wow. Send him my prayers and well wishes as well.

[Malibu Sally]

This is not good. :(

[Dark AngelHawk]

Please let us know how he is. I hope he'll be ok.

[Sebastian Kain]

Just left him a voicemail, hopefully he returns it soon. :)

[MaligneFamily]

My best wishes. :(

[Krypto]

Best wishes to Tarbo. Hopefully things turn out ok!

[coldcut]

Tarbaretta is in the hospital, or a guy who knows Tarberetta? Either way sucks, but be nice to know which.

Tarbs is in the hospital.

[coldcut]

Okay, second weird question: Tarb is a guy?

[Sebastian Kain]

Okay, second weird question: Tarb is a guy?

Yes, Tarby is indeed a he. Is the first post really that vague? :eyebrow:

[coldcut]

No, I'm just remembering the time when he and Esbat were pseudo-dating. Anyways.

Not really questions for a dude that's on death's door. I'm just ultra unobservant.

[Krypto]

Is the first post really that vague?
No, heh. I thought the title was pretty self explanitory.

(Tarberetta is in the Hosptial)

And yes, Tarbs is a guy. We were all shocked to find out the truth. Especially poor Esbat...he's been scarred ever since.

[Sebastian Kain]

Heh. Esbat knew before most of us...

And yea I usually refer to Tarby has TJ now...his name of choice.

[Krypto]

I go with Tarbo, Trabs, and Tarbs. And sometimes, Tarby Sauce.

[Bitter Babe]

Hope Tarby gets well soon

[Kid Ferret_]

:cry: hope he's ok

[Twilight]

Ack! A Pancreatic Attack, I'm assuming it has to do with the digestive enzymes attacking the pancreatic tissue and damaging the gland. If this is the case, this diagnosis is most commonly known as Pancreatitis, or inflammation of the Pancreas. Treatment often includes medications to relieve epigastric pain, intravenous fluids, and subtotal pancreatectomy if necessary. But hopefully it won't be that serious.

Anyway, get well soon Tarbs!

O_o Sooooo..... it can be bad you say... Yeah, here's hoping it's not :)

[Seraphim]

O_O poor tarby :(

[Druid]

Dang, I hope he starts feeling better soon. Hospitals are not fun places for extended visits.

Best wishes there Tarbster

[razoras]

Tarby will come out of the attack just fine. I sympathize with him though, as my mother began to have gal-bladder attacks once (which ended when they removed it). It's a painful and frightening experience for the person experiencing something like this, not to mention frightening for the whole household.

Not life-threatening now that TJ is in the hospital, though. He'll be good as new!

[Sechmeth]

Oh, poor Tarby! First me, then you...I forgot to save his e-mail adress, so I am not able to send him my best wishes as he did two weeks ago... :(
Get well, Tarby!

[Overbite]

Hope he feels better :( , anything involving your stomach can be pretty painful.


Get some Rest T-Rock... ;)

[suburbanhell]

Any update on his situation?

[iggy880]

I know I missed this yeasterday, but I just wanted to say, get well soon Tarby

[Sebastian Kain]

Any update on his situation?

Hasn't returned neither my calls nor Bree's I believe.

[MaligneFamily]

Oh, poor Tarby! First me, then you...I forgot to save his e-mail adress, so I am not able to send him my best wishes as he did two weeks ago... :(
Get well, Tarby!

There's the option to send him an email instead of a PM when you click his name.

[Sebastian Kain]

UPDATE: The update on Tarbs Status is that he's doing much better now, that person that contacted me before is a family friend of his, and says that he's doing much better now. :)

[Yin]

=============================================

Gold Rush

[Impact]

Glad you're feeling better Tarbs. Hope to see ya around again soon man :)

[Tarberetta]

Hey all! Thanks for all the well wishes. It has been an....experience, to say the least.

First let me say, SK and Bree, I recieved your voice mails 3 days ago through the reverse voice-mail access feature. Cell phones aren't allowed here in the hospital, so I couldn't call back and there is no long distance service from my room here (not to mention that your numbers are stored only on my phone and even starting it up is a nono :/ ).

Now, when I realized just how long I was going to be here I asked one of my best friends to message SK and Poison as they were the only 2 global names I could remember offhand. So sorry for the stranger sending you a message out of nowhere :)

As for me...well I'm *still* in the hospital, and although I don't know when I'll be going home yet, it has to be getting close as I'm now eating soft foods and not having any reactions.

I got to the hospital on Friday the 24th with no idea what was wrong with me. My abdomen hurt like hell, couldn't hardly stand on my own two feet, couldn't stop vomiting (and dry heaving). Eventually, the brown stuff I was bringing up occasionally, turned into blood. By the end of that day, the staff had managed to pump me full of pain meds, anti-stomach acid meds, and had drawn enough blood to get my my 3 gallon pin. I couldn't sleep all that night as I had to keep forcing myself to belch to keep myself uninflated (and that wasn't working the best :/ )

The next day the staff finally got a stomach pump tube down my nose and into myh stomach to pump out all the extra gas that was coming from outta nowhere, and they upgraded me to morphine to pain (that's good stuff!). For a laugh, it made my hallucinate alot :D

The only other problem was them waiting to see if my pancratitus (sp?) was going down enough to start eating food again to avoid having to put in a central line to feel my throught IV. Six days later, with no recovery in sight and my whole body hurting like (muscle cramps!) from lack of nutrients, they finally got a central line in me and started me on IV nutrition. So, that's how it's been even since. I don't have to worry about dying anymore, just when I get to go home.

The dying part is no joke either, the blood I was vomiting out when I first got here was explained to me as my inflated enzymes digesting my own intestines. Normal enzyme counts are supposed to be 40 and 50, both of mine were 990.

So, I've had alot of time to sit and think about what I've been doing in life, what I'd change, and what I *am* going to change in my life when I get out of here. I think of it as a wake-up call and a second chance. I do laugh and am happy to think though that when I thought of friends to notify, I thought of the guru community. You guys and gals mean alot to me, and I know your thoughts and prayers have without a doubt helped me along in my recovery.
I cannot wait till I get a chance to bust heads in-game with all of you again!

I'll try to keep the updates coming, however internet access in my room was not an easy thing to get and I hade to literally back-door my way out onto the net, but hey you guy's are worth it
:tarby:

[Grae Knight]

That is quite an ordeal. I am glad you are pushing through it. Keep us updated on how you are doing and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

[Sebastian Kain]

See! I am not crazy!






















Really Glad to see you are doing better Tarbs. :)

[Akamaz]

yes you are.... crazy like a Fox....

[Bitter Babe]

Glad to see you are doing better Tarby :)

[Joe Schmoe]

God, glad you're okay Tarb. :) Celebration anyone? Weee, so relieved

[Poison]

Glad to hear from you, Tarb. And glad to know you're better. Now don't stress yourself and make sure you get 100% well, hear me?

[bpphantom]

Glad to hear you're doing okay Tarb! :)

A 2nd chance is always better than the alternative. Puts things in perspective too.

/thumbsup

[ThunderMace]

Glad to hear things are looking Up Tarb

[Sebastian Kain]

Glad to hear from you, Tarb. And glad to know you're better. Now don't stress yourself and make sure you get 100% well, hear me?

That's a threat from Poison and Me. And You know I carry a big stick..

[Xielos]

Glad to hear you're better, now you can go do stuff you always wanted to do before you died, like go sky diving :D

[Quakester]

Gad you're looking up Tarbs. :)

[Tarberetta]

Looks like I'll be going home Monday so far. I hope so...these 4 walls are driving me crazy.

[razoras]

Huzzah!

[Poison]

Awesome, good news!

[The Widowed]

Yaaaaay, Tarby!

*double take*

And yaaaaay, razoras' new avatar! :D

[TOTAL ECLIPSE]

glad too see you getting better

[Bitter Babe]

That's great news Tarby :)

[Tarberetta]

Well..Home from the hospital Monday..but I was crashed out all day when I got home and didn't get up till 1PM today! Never realized how weak I'd be :/

Anyway..I'm hoping to get into the game by the end of the week. Maybe I'll have a new issue to play around with then since I'm off work till the 28th.

And, thanks again for all the well wishes, I appreciate you all! :tarby:

[Quakester]

Welcome back Tarbs! :)

[Dark AngelHawk]

It's good to know you're ok! Just take it easy for a while now.
