Karl, still alive, don't worry.  No panic.  I am almost immortal, I
   swear.  More lives than 9 (nine!!!) cats together, do you remember?  :)
   You can ask about my health and my several accidents in the local OAB,
   the Brazilian Bar Association.  They usually call me "Highlander, the
   immortal", hahahaha!!!  ;D
   About my pain...  Well, sorry for scaring you, but now I need to tell
   something a bit embarrassing about me.
   Already suffered several accidents and ruined some points of spine and
   back having unusual habits and sex in non usual places.
   Example: - Years ago, I broke my coccyx while having sex with my fiance
   in the office stairs at night.  He was pretty excited, and while still
   fucking me, threw me several stairs away, hahahaha!!!  It was f*cking
   painful, but was so funny that I laugh until the hospital.  Obviously,
   the doctor asked why I was almost naked and laugh more than me.
   Already fell of several trees, bushes, stairs, walls, etc, and suffered
   many accidents with skates, cars, robbers, stalkers, a lot of
   things...  Broke and/or had several injuries in both feets, both legs,
   arms, fingers, spine, neck, head, some ribs, and so goes on...
   Now, my spine will need the fourth surgery because the pain is becoming
   unsupportive even for me.  Usually, I am considered pretty resistant to
   pain for all my doctors.
   And all these pains, muscles tension, lack of decent sleep, and stress
   are causing strong migraines.  I do hate opioids and their disgusting
   effects, but usual medication is not enough for controlling my physical
   pain in the moment.
   Sorry, I don't know to say it politely, but since yesterday, I am very
   busy disgorging everything, even my internal organs and soul.  :P
   So, being sincere, I am trying to rest a bit, because I had fever and
   vomit, so I need to keep myself hydrated to avoid another physical
   disaster.  And I am trying to discover what the hell happened with my
   wi-fi.  I am using 4G for giving you some feedback.
   Please, try to relax.  You are so stressed, boy.  Remember my cellphone
   is not so awesome like me - hahahaha!!! - and sucks a lot.  Much more
   than I already sucked something in my whole life, hahahaha!!!  ;D
   Tender kisses and straight hugs.  Just relax and be well, please.  <3
