Health Update: It's Been a While!

Hello people! It’s been a while since I posted one of these health updates for you. The reason I haven’t posted anything is simply because I haven’t had anything to post, but for those of you who don’t know what’s been happening over the past couple of years or so here’s a brief rundown of what went on.

Just over two years ago a misdiagnosis from my GP led to me being hospitalized with pneumonia. I underwent a series of procedures and major surgery over two stays, totalling four weeks in total, to remove the fluid from my right lung and to repair my damaged diaphragm. The surgery left me with constant chronic pain in my right-hand side which affected my neck, shoulders, chest, ribs, back and hip. The chap who performed the operation said this was because I had a ton of deep-lying scar tissue which interacted with nerve endings to cause this pain.

Julian's Birthday Fundraiser for the RNLI

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to RNLI. I've chosen this charity because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope that you'll consider contributing as a way of celebrating with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about RNLI below. 
 
The RNLI is a registered charity that saves lives at sea. It provides, on call, a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service to 100 miles out from the coast of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and a beach lifeguard service on over 200 beaches in England. The RNLI continues to rely on voluntary contributions and legacies for its income.

The Battle For Babylon 5: Civil War II Chapter Forty-Six

Magus could no longer concentrate. It was as if something on the Gorgon, he could not tell what, had interrupted the flow of things. Four squadrons of TIE fighters launched from the Gorgon's bays upon arrival. Their confidence ebbing away, the Free Federation forces pulled back. It was as if they were tired, fatigued in some way. They had just defeated a powerful enemy. Could they do so again?
