Hello everybody. I apologize if this "journal" is different to others. This covers some pretty important things that are happening with my life, and that will explain why the last 3 weeks my artwork have ranged between little and nothing, and in addition will explain how things are going to come in a close (and not so close) future.
This photo was taken two weeks ago. I live with my grandma (82 years old) and she started having heavy pain. It ended being very harsh, we [a friend of her and me] took her to ER after she vomited blood.
She was stabilized, sent home to be "hospitalized" (doctors came everyday) and I started taking care not only of everything at home, but from her. Finally the "home hospitalization" ended, and she was feeling better. She got to get an endoscopy, but since the doctors performing that here are scarce, we got hour for April 12th. She was getting much much better tho, up to the point where I finally got relaxed the last weekend...
... and today we got to take her to ER again, with her vomiting blood again.
After 6 very scary hours, she got stabilized, but the problem is that she couldnt get any surgery until the endoscopy happens. I wont dwelve in more complex details about it, but basically after this thursday she'll get the endoscopy, the results of it, and that night she'll get hospitalized...
.... and I have no idea what's going to come after that. The doctor fears she has gastric cancer, but that's going to be announced once we have the results of said endoscopy.
I would love to say that I have the presence of mind to do everything I have right now, but truth is, I'm not. Not only this is very weird and also very complex for me, but also I'm taking care of the person that I love the most. I think most of you would do the same for your mom if you were in such situation. And tbh I'm not sure how I'm going to react if I'm given the worst news. I'm super super scared.
But back to the part that's relevant for this place-- the work.
This week it's going to be another week with barely some advances with the stuff I owe, although i'll try to be posting some artwork here or so. And I dont really know when I'll effectively start tackling everything; real life has been a bitch lately. I'll still be posting advances as they come. I heavily apologize for all this.
I just say rest assured. If I owe you artwork, that artwork is going to come, even if it takes more time than it already did. Hopefully the improvements in style and so make the wait worth.
And thank you infinitely for your patience. I love you all.
