I'm not dead (yet). There was a long string of "you have x." "We removed X successfully." "We found Y in X when we dissected it." "We removed Z as a saftey precaution against Y, by the way you're failing Uni now." (Yes, cancer, yay.)
But hey, I'm now all of 21 (birthday yesterday), and I've a year off Uni (taking a year out because I missed so much), so I should be able to return to working on Topaz.
