Health Update 2
Added 2022-01-01 23:03:55 +0000 UTCHappy New Year!
Good news: A lot of my ancillary issues are no big deal.
Bad news: I have a heart murmur and abnormal EKG readings.
What this means: I need to visit a specialist, get an ultrasound, and possibly go on heart meds. Healthwise, I'm actually pretty okay. The problem for all of this is that it is stupidly expensive. Compounding that, we are down one roommate where I live so I have to cover half the rent of that room, so the timing is really unfortunate. And finding roommates and going to doctors all takes time away from making a living.
My plan: I'm going to focus on completing all of my Patreon and commission obligations from last month in this month while taking on no new comms. This means I'm going further into the red financially so to make up for this I'll be releasing the next Sizeland chapter for retail sale this month, and I'll explore doing one or more of growth drive/sketch pack/adopts to make up for the shortfall. I wish I didn't have to depend on things like this, but the last thing I need is to go into medical debt as a freelance artist. I'm hoping everyone understands and I don't mean to burden anyone who is going through their own hardships with mine. For those who can help, you can do it by continuing to support whatever projects I come out with this month.

I've had to wear the heart monitor thingie for the 24 hours, because of a history of heart problems in my family, and one heart scan that was just on the edge of being a problem (the doctor decided it was just the sensors being poorly attached). And there's a liver enzyme that keeps showing up in the "this might be a problem" range, even though there ISN'T a problem.
