Just wanted to put out a thank you

I really wanted to offer some more stuff this month, even though I have kinda made it my point to use Patreon in similar ways to a big dumb tip jar, but… I still continually feel guilty for not having a steady stream of art. I just wanted to sincerely thank my patrons here for all that you do for me, even though I’m not able to offer much, your continued generosity has helped me more than I can explain.

This month has been a doozy for me. Pain at an all time high, been high key sick as a dog the past three or four days…. I was woozy and unable to count properly what I’d actually spent the day I had all my appointments done, but I flushed 1,020$ total in three little consecutive sittings… 260$ for my rheumatologist, 270$ for hand x-rays to monitor degeneration in my cartilage and bones, and 490$ for blood work that will okay me for the medication I’ll be going on. Which, if all goes well, will be a weekly self injection called methotrexate, which my doctor said is basically a super duper low level chemo that they found helps with RA. I’m terrified for self injections, but less so than something I have to swallow. Having medical issues while also having medical allergies is literally fucking insane. So I am hopeful that injections will help me a lot.

Thankfully due to funds from an amazing friend I was able to not lose my sanity in my current insurance-less state. Thanks to their generosity I have also been able to afford other medical helps for both pain relief and eye issues this past year, and what I had remaining from them was like a serious weight off my shoulders. But now the rest of my wallet is also hovering tediously just over zero so… needless to say I’m pretty antsy for October to get here lol. Thankfully nothing is coming up that I need extra money for so I’m not scratching at the neck for cash, but… yknow. It’s nice to have a leg to stand on. Hopefully by October though I’ll be on the medication I need and starting to feel like my normal self again.

So. Fingers crossed I can start acting right and making art and being more active again. Maybe I’ll branch into new types of contents once I have more pain-free free time. Thank you again for all of your patience with me as I get through this ridiculously stupid part of my life.
