So. A lot has happened and I've been doing my best to just take it as it comes. Here's the highlights;
-I had surgery on my dominant hand to treat my chronic pain. So far it's worked. Unfortunately it seems I've traded one kind of pain for another, as the incision site is still very easily agitated and moving 'wrong' can cause it to flare up into very strong, sharp pain. I'll be talking to my doctor about it, since this doesn't seem normal, and it's been several weeks since the surgery.
-My dad had open-heart surgery 2 weeks after my hand surgery. He's still in ICU 10 days later, bc his lungs and heart stopped working and needed constant support. He's recovering slowly, there was a big scare on Tuesday, but since then he's gradually improved and all of us are cautiously optimistic. If I fall off the face of the planet again, it'll likely be bc he turned the wrong corner and I need to focus on him and the rest of my loved ones. If you're a spiritual person, pls keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
I'd really like it if things started getting steady from here. If I'd be able to start drawing frequently enough to stream again, post regularly, maybe pick up comics again. I don't know if that'll happen.
I'm so, so grateful for the support you've all given me while I've struggled and stumbled through running this patreon. You make my life possible. Thank you.
