    As some people probably know, and others most likely don't, Evenflow and I have been having a pissing match / rep war of sorts for a little while now.

    It's because of something I said, that was very rude and uncalled for, and I'd like to go ahead and make amends.

    Skorponok told me the other day that what I said to Flow didn't seem like something I would have said, and I had to agree. It got me to thinking about it, and whether I should share why I've been a bit...different...as of late.

    A month or so ago, I wet the bed. I didn't know at the time why it happened, I hadn't ever done something like it before, but out of embarassment I just cleaned the sheets and told no one.

    A few days later, I noticed I had to pee every hour or so. So I went to the doc, and gave a urine sample. They found blood and pus in the urine, which is apparently a bad sign. The doc thought it was just a kidney stone, so I got an x-ray to find it.

    But we didn't see any stones.

    So I got a barium scan next, where they filled me up with this radioactive liquid that would illuminate the path it takes through my kidneys, to see if it got rerouted around any stones.

    Nothing.

    Meanwhile, the problem got worse, as I started feeling lethargic and drowsy all the time. Thinking a prostate problem, I got a prostate check, about 20 years before I ought to have needed to. Nothing.

    So they finally decided to just jam a camera up my penis. I don't know how many of you have experienced it, but I've never felt worse pain. The nurse said they heard me screaming in the waiting room. Afterwards, the doc said all they found was a massive amount of scar tissue along the urethra, which they said might be why the camera hurt so damned much. Unfortunately, they didn't find the root cause of my problem. What's worse, now there's concern that it might make it hard, or even impossible, for me to have kids.

    So I've been mad. Scared too. But mostly angry, because no one can figure out what's wrong with me. And I've been lashing out as a result.

    I say all this because I want Evenflow to know, it isn't him. It isn't anything he did, really. He just happened to prick me a bit at the wrong time, and I lashed out. It was unfair, uncalled for, and I should have known better.

    Evenflow, I'm sorry. I feel guilty as hell over what I said, cause I know how much it would have pissed me off.

    And to everyone else who might have been on the receiving end of my lashing out, I'm sorry too. I've not really been myself lately, but I'm gonna try to change that.

    I have had that done back in '92.

    Not only does it hurt, but it feels *so* wrong.

    *shudder*

    Good luck with everything.

    Shit dude, I hope this isn't anything serious.

    edit: never the camera, but a tube inserted to fill my bladder for an ultrasound was enough to let me know that something like a camera definitely wouldn't be fun.

    I'm hoping so myself.

    The blood is gone, at least. They think the scarring may indicate that whatever I had, an infection maybe, has run its course, but they're still gonna have me give urine samples every few months just to be sure.

    When I was in highschool I had something similar happen, although it didn't last for as long.

    A few days of strong pain when urinating, when blood started appearing went to see the doctor and got sent to hospital for ultrasound. They didn't see anything wrong and after another couple of days everything cleared up itself with the cause a total mystery.

    So let me get this straight - you've been sending Evenflow multiple PM's calling Mrs. Flow a whore/bitch/slut and everything else in the book because you have a urinary tract infection? Not to mention all the other insulting PM's you've sent to various others?

    Yeah. Right.

    Oh you've definitely had something jammed inside of you, but I think it was evenflow's boot up your ass, not a camera.

    What's wrong with you is pretty easy to diagnose. You tugged on Superman's cape and spouted off to someone you shouldn't have, and have been getting royally ass-raped in a rep war for the last couple of weeks. Now you're looking for sympathy and public support, with this sad thread that you hoped would garner you lots of sympathy rep. Kinda clever, a thread about being pwned in a rep battle, but throwing in a twist with the whole medical crisis angle to deflect the inevitable criticism.

    Clever, but transparent.

    I've never seen anyone play a 'I don't feel good so I said stupid things' card here before.

    Is that a first? :wtf:

    Notice how he threw in the gory details like the blood and pus in the urine to give the story more dramatic impact? And the bit about screaming so the whole hospital ward could hear him? You'd think he was in a burn unit having the dead skin scraped off. :rolleyes:

    :evilpop: This should be interesting.

    If all this is true, I certainly hope you can find out what's happening to you. And fix it. It certainly doesn't excuse whatever you said to evenflow, but no one deserves to have a camera jammed up their penis and told they can't have kids.

    Well, I think worry can lead to people being snippy.

    However, apologizing around here is like painting a bullseye on your back, having a Marine Recon guy light it up with a laser, and then shouting "Allah Ackbar" at George Bush while a flight of F-117's circles overhead.

    Never, EVER show weakness. Rosencrantz=deadmanwalking. :jayzus:

    Mate of mine had similar symptoms (regular peeing, not blood in the urine) and they ran a lot of tests. I'll ask if they ever identified the cause - I just remember him being on anti-diuretics a lot. Wasn't prostate, not cancer anyway.

    I hope that it's not diabetes or kidney disease.

    :shrug:

    Sokar and LED and others can continue the insults. I kind of expect, and I imagine deserve, such scorn.

    I am, however, genuinely sorry about how I behaved. It isn't like me, and I'm ashamed I let my own fear and anger eke out on people who didn't deserve it (FLow and his wife).

    If this does paint a bullseye on my back, then I deserve it. It's pretty clear who the wrongdoer was in this instance.

    I went into those details not for sympathy, which I knew it would appear to be, but because I want Flow and Mrs. F to know that what I said has no bearing on reality. I don't actually think what I said, and I hope they will see it as nothing more than the ranting of a guy who's angry at something he can't fix.

    Edit: As an aside, after I posted this I said "Sokar will post and say my nickname is perfecty apt now."

    Some people are just predictable.

    I don't recall the entirety of it, but something along the lines of him not being able to sexually please his wife, and other things of the same vein.

    Not my proudest hour, by a long shot.

    Oh, well, no need to apologize then, you didn't say anything that wasn't true.

    What I said exactly? No, I don't.

    I remember it was something about dildos in his ass, and the word cunt was used somewhere, I'm sure.

    Basically, think of the vilest things you can say about a man and his wife, and there you go.
