So I'll be missing the DLC tomorrow as I have surgery in the morning to remove a (benign) tumour from my spinal cord. It is my second surgery, the first excised 95% of it, but in the past 4 years it's grown back. It'll be a ten hour plus operation with a 10-15% of leaving me paralysed. Last time I was in rehab for a month learning to walk again. So I decided to have one last crack at finishing the raid tonight on my only non level 30 character, a 29 hunter needing one raid piece for 30. I decided to help some others with one of my 30 characters and agreed to swap at the gatekeeper so I could have a chance at some loot. I was rewarded with a second vex and the helmet I needed when we took down Atheon. Unfortunately I won't have time to level up to 30 before morning and want to spend some time with my family anyway. I think Destiny is a great game and I have played with some really cool people whilst raiding. It's certainly helped take my mind off the surgery. The community reminds me of the best days of Phantasy Star Online, years back. The guys at Bungie should be proud of what they have achieved. Have fun with the DLC, I hope I get to play again fairly soon with some of you! ******update - So the surgery went pretty much perfectly. All of the tumour was removed with only a slight loss of power in my legs. Thanks for all the messages of support!It means a lot!****** *******update 2 - a couple of photos for the cynics! MAY NEED TO COPY INTO BROWSER Me not looking my best... http://instagram.com/p/wbgG_DvLio Think I could hook a PS4 up to this? http://instagram.com/p/wbgLnNPLjG As much as I love playing Destiny, I don't love it more than my boy. http://instagram.com/p/wcHoh5PLps/ [b]I don't want an exclusive weapon but I think everyone who's posted a positive comment should get an exotic shard - these guys make the community what it is.[/b] *****final update - so I'm out of bed and walking independently. This really couldn't have gone any better. I'll see you starside to battle Crota in a week or so!***** --Peace-- Post script - one last video of my walking out to my wife and son for the first time.
