The Bush has withered ---***Update, I'm free***
Hello everyone, Huge Bush here messaging you all from my glorious hospital bed that just refuses to be comfortable for me and let me have one nights good rest. A couple of weeks ago, I can down with what I though was just some cold which morphed a week later to what I can only describe as “almost death”.
It wasn’t pretty. I couldn’t make it out of bed for more than 60 seconds. Going potty was like trying to take the One Ring to the fires of Mordor, only with Nemisis chasing me and Bubba waiting at the mouth of the volcano. It was terrible.
Im finally out of the darkness, but not out of the clear. Turns out I have/had Covid-19 that ravaged my lungs and has given me pneumonia. In order to not suffocate in my sleep, I have to keep oxygen tubing snaking through my nose and make sure these kind medical professionals keep checking on me while I sleep(if this stupid bed would let me, argh!).
Anyways, I know I’m not a big presence on the forums, I was just bored and wondered if some of you can give me the rundown on what went on in the world of my favorite game that I love to hate/hate to love. Was the event just another meh moment? Were the new cosmetics nice? Did Claudette get anything new? Are boom totems as broken as everyone was crying they were going to be? Which killer is on the current survivor nerf target?
Someone post some pics of Dbd memes (I like the one with Steve and bubba in the basement). Cat and cow pics are acceptable too.
*I didn't realize I could edit this, but I'm lazy, tired, weak and want to finish my soup so feel free to scroll to the end of the next page for my update.

Everything is on fire! Which is pretty standard for DBD...
The event was a'ight. Nothing special, especially if you played last year as it's basically the same thing
The cosmetics are neat looking at least!
Claudette...I'm not sure. I don't think so but PASS
Boom totems are exactly what we expected; in some hands/maps they literally break the game and in other hands, they're kind of useless
Current nerf target seems to have gone back to Bubba as the boon totems are making a lot of killers camp/tunnel and Bubba is the unofficial camp/tunnel killer of choice
Have a meme!

Have a photo of jeryl next to a goth cop. New update introduced a cosmetic bug, hope you're back soon and not fashionably late to make some new cosmetic combos.

Thanks for the update! That picture is Legendary!

I am sorry you went through all that but I am glad things are getting somewhat better. Get well soon and don't worry. You are noticed, we love you.
Event is not that bad and cosmetics are nice but last update kinda ruined last gen performance again, still playable tho. People on forums are still arguing about similar things.
Nothing out of the ordinary unfortunately...
Bush might be withered but it will recover no doubt about it.

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope you recover soon, the Bush is nothing without you! Anyway to answer your question, DBD has kind of been a madhouse right now with NFTs and what not.
2 -
I love you man! That image made my nurse look at me funny when I started laughing hysterically!
1 -
This straight up made me cry - I am so sorry that you're struggling right now.
I'm really sorry to hear this.
I'm really rooting for you - Feel free to tag me anytime.
2 -
I am sorry to hear about your current situation, my dear friend, and sincerely hope you recover soon.
I tried to find a picture of our two favorite characters together, and this was the only one that I found:
Sorry that it is hard to see, but at least it is a start <3
Hope to speak to you soon!
1 -
um, hope you’re not at this hospital👇🏽
only have one meme🤷🏼♀️
an this Claudie pic is nice
Hope that makes ya feel cheery😌

I don't have memes to contribute. Boons are both not game breaking and still incredibly disheartening for Killers to manage. I expect you to update this thread when you've fully recovered.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear you're in such a state. I haven't been around in a few months, but I still remember you around the forums and liking your posts. Oof... that sounds awful. I hope you can get a good night's sleep, despite everything.
I don't have any memes to add to the pile, but I hope you finish self-caring soon and that Claudette can emerge from the bush safe and sound.

Hey Death isn't an escape. Where do you think you're going? Get back here.
You'll get through it. I'm absolutely in love with Mikaela Reid and her Halloween outfit, and the rift was a good idea. The only thing I don't really like is the thought that the lore I unlocked will go away. They better keep the tome and just remove the rift fragments.
Boon totems are finally after several years pay attention to totem locations. I always run soul guard because I know I'm never touching totems. Now I have to run small game on my boon builds just to pick up those bone spots. This game finally got me to do bones. As far as the boons themselves...eh. They get snuffed fast.
I don't think Claudette has anything new so you're not missing out. As far as killer nerfs go, if we're not nerfing Pig then what are we doing with our lives. You know?
See ya when you get better.

get better soon

Wishing you all the best and a good recovery!
i remember you liking the cat and sheep pics from that other thread so here ya go
1 -
Hope you're doing well my dude and will get better and stronger then you once were.
Dbd has been being the usual except for the nft situation which a few large figure left the game but still posting except for orion for what i know left when finding out the nfts were true and left.
Dead hard now is server sided now but will now eat anything including powers.
Optimization has went downhill from the recent chapter as many were having technical difficulties (infinite loading screen and boon crashing the game)
I have left dbd but still be posting on the forum maybe until vhs come out but time will tell.

Oh, yeah baby! That hit the spot! I’m tingly all over and can’t wait to get home so I can pet the cat we are temporarily fostering! Animals are the best! Thanks for the well wishes!
1 -
Glad you like them
have some more, maybe the sheep can help you fall asleep and get some rest despite the bed
1 -
You made it through the worst of it and survived. Hope you recover from the pneumonia and on the road to a full recovery!
🤗

Holy crap, I hope you feel better soon!
There's no such thing as quality sleep in hospitals unfortunately. Hopefully you escape soon
This was released 2 weeks ago, but I'm an Old with a job so I can't keep up with memes.
1 -
I did! Thank God! The doctor is talking about releasing me soon, but I’m kind of apprehensive, though hopefully I’ll be home this weekend/Monday.
I will miss being taken care of by people and not having to worry about life’s usually stresses.
1 -
Thank you for the well wishes! You’re right about no quality sleep in hospitals, my thigh and tailbones hate me every time I move them. Thankfully, the staff has been phenomenal and has done everything they could to make it as easy and comfortable (except the one nurse who wants to keep cleaning me, her eagerness is just weird).
Thanks for the link, I’m a big fan of Samination and have fallen in love with his work years ago. Don’t feel bad about being old, I’m old too, it just means we’re seasoned!

Still rooting for/thinking about you!

Hey, I think there's a misunderstanding. I was there to protect you!
Now excuse me - I have to insidious-camp your room to make sure nothing unexpected happens.
2 -
Just make sure to bring me cookies and wear the granny cosmetic.

Thank you! With how things are going, I should be released today! The hospital is just really busy, and I have to wait for some financial stuff (I’m poor and uninsured) to take care of in order to take home a tank of oxygen, so now it’s just a game of waiting!

Thank you!

Thank you, I am. Just had my lungs tested and everything tests out. Now I just have to play the patient game and wait on the doctor to release me.

I hope you're back home soon - and I hope that there's no long term issues. Will be thinking about you and wishing you well <3

🤞You have no long term effects. Hope you get to go home soon.

Thank you for posting those memes! They hit the spot! I love that Bubba and Steve one but that Meg on the hook made me chuckle out loud. It’s happened to me so many times!

Be careful with that, friend. As a fellow Jeryl, I've been getting tunneled first more often with Cheryl's black shirt and default skirt.
The most common ones, and the most likely ones to send me a msg have been bubba, wraith and GF. it's been funny af to survive after all the abuse.
Hang in there Bush, I hope you feel better

Nurse and covid survivor here.
Keep your head up and eyes forward. Make sure you work with PT and keep your damn SED's/ PAS on in bed. Last thing I want to hear is you got a blood clot.
I'm here if you need to talk/ have questions. Same to anyone here
0 -
Thank you so much! They’ve been giving me daily blood clot medication though they don’t think I need it anymore.
What do you mean by “PT” and what are SED’s/PAS? Are those the annoying monitors and wires that I was tethered to? If so, they were so annoying! I’m rather hairy and they refused to stick. Ended up basically wrapped in medical tape to keep them in place. They have actually taken me off of them yesterday!
From my understanding, I’ll probably be sent home with a steroid prescription for my lungs and some blood pressure medication. I’m just happy that I won’t be needing an oxygen tank!
I think my biggest problem leaving the hospital is pacing myself, taking it easy and slowly rebuilding my lost muscle mass. That and some issues with life that I have to deal with, but I’m gonna take baby steps!
*PS.
In case no one has ever said it to you, thank you for choosing to be a nurse. I’ve never truly appreciated how important health care workers are until I needed them and after being here for two weeks, I see how much stress and bull crap you guys go through. I hope you all have a fulfilling life and everything goes the way you need it! Bless you.

No problem
I seen you were looking for the bubba and Steve one and I knew which one it was. Yeah me and you both on the meg one.
Laughter is the best medicine

They probably prescribed you Warfarin or Lovenox for your clots/ prevention! PT would be physical therapy. Make sure you're walking around and moving your legs. Blood pools in your legs while you're sitting or laying and if left to long, you can develop a blood clot in your leg which can lead to your brain or lungs. Neither are good outcome. If you're able, go for a walk in your yard once a day. Just keep moving.
The wires that crossed your body are probably the telemetry wires and your continuous pulse ox. SED/ PAS/ IPC's are the wraps they put on your legs that hook up your legs that squeeze them. It mimics the muscle contractions in your legs and simulates what your legs do while walking. You're supposed to wear them while you're in bed for long periods of time though some people will use TED hose.
I'm here if you need anything man. Covid is scary and the unknowns behind it make it worse. Just make sure you're washing your hands and moving around the best you can. Keep an eye on any fever, eat and drink fluids, and stay healthy. I'm here if you need anything, man!

Thank you for all of your advice! I was wondering why they were giving me blood clot medication and didn’t realize it was due to being bedridden and immobile. I assumed it was due to the virus and medication they put me on. It makes sense and I’ll be sure to constantly get up once an hour and try to move for 10-15 minutes at a time.
They didn’t put any wires on my legs, just some leads that were placed on my chest and sides. I would have liked if they would have but I didn’t know it was an option.
Ill be sure to stay clean, my OCD basically requires it of me. I’m actually looking forward to going to walmart and buying cleaning supplies!

Dear Mr Huge_Bush
You don't know me.... But I was very overwhelmed by your post. We have all been through a very difficult time and I am sure there will be many more difficult times to come. I have been playing Dead by Daylight since 2016 and have seen and experienced many things. Just like you, I still love this game like the first day. I wish you all the best for your future and may you get well again.
Love greeting PNgamer

Covid can cause blood clots in the legs of younger patients so you gotta walk around and keep the blood flowing. I'm happy you're doing well enough to go home!

@Huge_Bush when you have time, could you check your private messages? Thank you!

I just responded to you in the PM. It took a while because trying to navigate this site on my phone with my stubby fingers is a pain!

I just wanted to give everyone an update on my status. The Bush has been freed! I am currently sitting on my computer typing this and it is so nice not sitting on the rock (hospital bed) that I've been forced to make my home for the last two weeks! The doctor says everything is looking fantastic, I didn't need to take home any extra oxygen, thank god, I wasn't looking forward to lugging a tank around everywhere. I just have to make sure I taper off of my meds properly and take it easy to build up my strength as @xBEATDOWNSx advised me to do earlier!
While I know this forum is generally filled with negativity and anger, I knew at its core we have lots of good people here in the community. Thank you so much for showing me some compassion when I was at my lowest, physically, spiritually and mentally, it really meant a lot to me even though we are all technically strangers. It just shows everyone can help just be being there.
Once again, thank you all so much and happy gaming <3

Heal up, you stranger on the internet, you. :)

So glad to see that you are free and doing better.
