But I'm alive. And well

But honestly, what could I have said? "Sorry about your leg Uncle Bill. That sucks. I hate that for ya."

That's a good start, you know? It's rough, but I am sure he'd be glad to hear from you.

[rojir]

I talked to him last night. He said the leg wasn't too bad, that he's moving around just as well as he was. It was rough to talk to him, now that he's telling me the situation is getting worse, and he's likely going into renal failure, and as a health care professional himself, there is no way he was going to go on dialysis.

It's a tricky situation. We did kinda the male thing of "grunt. Yeah."

Royal and his father do that when discussing Nancy's death. This is the male way of expressing sympathy, and it's okay. I'm very sorry about your uncle, though.

My character: I'm a pretty hard worker when I'm inspired, but my work ethic in general is something people really notice about me. I can be moody, but especially these days, I keep more of what's really bothering me inside than is what's good for me because I'm afraid of how others will react, and I genuinely want others to be happy. I'm very random, mostly irreverent, and I make people laugh. I believe that I'm innately a good person and want to do good works.

I totally get where you're coming from.

I think a call would be a good start. People in pain love to tell people how bad they feel and appreciate the vocalized support. It is scary when someone who's a rock for you gets sick. Ask me how much I freaked out when my Dad went to the hospital, or when my grandfather died. It is a mortalizing(?) experience. Then you realize that your someone else's role model and to them *you're* the one who's indestructible.

It's all a circle, bb. I am sorry to hear about his amputation... that must be scary and painful..

oh and my current character is named Saliah Coldfall. She's my DnD druid. She's half human/ half genesai with an animal familiar (Dire Wolf) named Paw Paw, who's really more like a giant sheepdog than he is a wolf. She's pretty rockin'.

My grandmother lived without a leg since she was 8 years old, and she was more of a super(wo)man because of it. Quite possibly the best example of a super(wo)man I've ever known

[rojir]

My god. You are an alt-aholic.

And with the exception of the warlock, they're all level 30 or greater.

I said when I started that I didnt really know what I wanted to play, and that I'd try everything. So thats what I'm doing. So far, Pally, Druid & Hunter are the candidates.

[rojir]

I'd go with the Pally or the Druid. Multi-spec awesomeness...as opposed to Hunters, who do dmg.

I relate to not knowing what to say. I've got friends who have gone through stuff I can barely imagine, and I just don't even know what to say, or how to say it. And I feel like my words won't do any good. And then I remember my friends and family that were there for me during my divorce, and I remember how much it meant to hear from them, to hear any words of encouragement.

[sooper]

I forgot about the part where I tell you about my character. I'll go with one you don't know about because he's a non-OWBN PC. He was in a superhero campaign, could turn invisible, but about 50% of the time couldn't turn visible again afterward. Also had a compulsion to prank people. Hilarity ensued.
