Hehehe…
I’m still here if you’re wondering, but that’s the first day when I can communicate with the outside world. And because my little project here (i.e. communicating with the past) is accessible only through my home link, I had to take extraordinary precautions to do it. You need a special clearance for this, and I don’t have it (at least not in my state).
Long story made short: two days after I wrote the text below I suffered a severe brain reset, because the new neuropathways that the scansurgeons made were offset by a mere 0.0002 millimeters. Enough to plunge me into coma.
In order to fix that, they had to put me in a device that lowers body temperature and atmospheric pressure, and to slowly and painstakingly work their way through my brain with a superscanner. Now that’s very nice that my insurance covers this, because otherwise I would have been pretty dead by now. Ok, you could still meet me in the Sim, but for me it would have been all buh-bye…
Two months passed, time in which my brain was maintained into a state of semi-consciousness, without acces to the damaged part of my memory. They also had to regenerate parts of my brain that regulate different organs in my body, and there’s why I was forced to sit into that device all summer long.
One week ago I started functioning on my own, at 100%, but a series of supplementary tests were to be made in order to ensure I was fine this time. And yes, I fully recovered this time.
If you think that’s amazing, you’re damn right. I had access to the most advanced medical technology that’s available today. Sadly, not all people can afford this, even today. And there’s a single reason for that: there are only 20-30.000 such units in the world. They’re hugely expensive. And they require years of training for the surgeons and medical staff operating them. This comes with a tremendous cost.
OK, now I’ll just keep up with my kinetotherapy and my gym excercises, and then start to resume work.
Hope I’ll be able to write at least once a week, at least until the snow comes… We’re in august now, so we have only 2 weeks left for the first snow storms to come here in southern Europe… 2108 is a blast, I tell ya!
