I have a severe abdominal pain.
It started last Friday, and it comes and goes. Now, it's just there all the time.
I got so bad last night that I was sweating beads and pretty much stayed up all night due to the pain.
This was after I worked for 30-hours straight in the hospital.
I went to the emergency room today. After they ran a shit load of tests, everything came back normal.
So I am diagnosed with acid reflux.
I never imagined that reflux could be so painful.
It was also strange to be on the other side of the bed, receiving medical interventions instead of ordering them.
My stomach is still hurting a lot, but at least I know that I don't need surgery to fix whatever I have.
Being sick sucks.

This is what my baby does most of the day (when he's not breastfeeding).
Since I don't have time to go to the gym anymore, I figure I would combine rocking the baby and my work out.

I presented my hobby as a mapper to a group of doctors today.
It was amusing.
All the other doctors talked about growing bonsai trees, playing an instrument, or painting.
I talked about mapping. It was definitely different.

One of my friends's husband is a game developer for Microsoft. He was able to get me a limited edition print of a concept art for Halo 3.
My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy yesterday.
He weighs 6 lb 13 oz.

My wife and I celebrated our second anniversary tonight by having dinner on the Queen Mary.
I was asked by our medical group to share my hobbies with everyone. Little do they expect to have a hardcore gamer among them.
I am planning to talk about my level design experience and demonstrate my various mapping projects. I'll illustrate the process of mapping.
Here is a brief outline:
