Hey guys,
It's been a rough weekend to say the least. I'm staying at my relative's house in San Jose (about an hour south of San Francisco) while I recover. I'll try to answer as many questions I can with this, but there are a lot of unknowns in the equation right now that will need to get sorted out in the coming weeks.
So basically what ended up happening was that my gallbladder decided to give up on life and just die. I've found out since it happened that this runs in my family. (thanks ancestors) If I had been alive 100 years ago I'd probably be dead right now. As it was, my gallbladder had actually started to get a bit gangrenes already before they removed it. They kept me in the hospital an extra day to make sure nothing had started spreading. Luckily it looks like everything worked out and I'll recover completely in a couple weeks.
Right now pretty much everything is painful, but getting less each day. I still had insurance from IGN so the cost shouldn't be too astronomical (hopefully). The big thing is that I probably won't be able to fly for a while, which will prevent me from getting to Korea to cast the OSL anytime soon. I'm still talking with them and nothing's off the table yet. Just have to kind of wait and see now.
So that's basically it. Don't know exactly where I'll end up in the next few weeks, but the most important thing is that I concentrate first on recovering. The doctors seemed to think it'll be fast since I'm a pretty healthy guy already. Hopefully they're right!
Btw, having a tube shoved into your nose all the way down to your stomach is about the least comfortable thing I've ever experienced. Thankfully I was able to immortalize the moment forever on Twitter thanks to my cousin, Vaughn, who was there with me.
In conclusion: No idea what's going to happen in the next few weeks, but I'm recovering quick and I'm sure my future still lies in esports!

Good luck DOA! Hope everything works out.
|
Good luck bro, here's to a speedy and healthy recovery.
|
Have an quick and full recovery. Hope to see you casting some amazing SC2 action soon.
|
Get well soon Doa! I heard things about you in the hospital and/or being sick but had no idea what was going on.
|
Oh man that sucks Best of luck man, I hope you make a full recovery really fast. The galbladder isn't needed to live a normal life btw? I don't know much about such things.
|
That sucks, glad it worked out though. Feel better soon!
|
|
Have a speedy recovery and hope you can get back to casting soon
|
Glad to hear everythings ok. Get well soon! Who's gonna break down the build orders!? lol <3 <3
|
Oh, so it wasn't a kidney stone. It was your gallbladder. D: I'm glad you're ok, man. Best of luck. I wish you a speedy recovery :D
|

Hey man, get better as soon as you can!
|
Get well soon, hope to see you cast again aswell when you are able to!
|
Glad to hear your feeling better broski. We miss you at the house . Hopefully we'll see you soon.
|
It's okay man, you don't really need one of those anyway. You can store your gall somewhere else. Maybe hollow out your appendix and keep it there, if you still have it.
Get better soon! I look forward to you casting again, but obviously not until you're up to it
|
Get better! Love your casting, hope to see you at OGN!
|
DOA, you shall get better! You will be back in Korea faster than you'll even realize, because all of the eSports community is behind you!
|
omg Doa! You've been through a lot. Take care, man. I really want to see you in Korea again. And thanks for taking that picture of DRG with his fan club shirt. It meant a lot. <3

Glad you're recovering at home now! I've had that nose tube thing, but not all the way to my stomach -- it's an awful feeling! I can only imagine how much worse that would be. Doesn't it interrupt how you breathe since your epiglottis normally closes so you can breathe?
Hope you're back on your feet soon!
