Update: Road to Recovery

Added 2021-11-01 06:38:57 +0000 UTC

Hello you beautiful people!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween. Wish I could have done something snazzy to celebrate, but physical and mental health has been a roller coaster.

Halloween also marks the four year anniversary of my starting Patreon and the continued progress of my writing. I am deeply grateful for all of you that stop by, read, and comment on my work. Thank you so much for your support, especially in these past traumatic weeks.

Recovery from the stroke has been going pretty well according to my new doctors. These seven weeks have felt more like a year already but thanks to diet and exercise changes I've been slowly getting things back under control. My blood sugar has gone down to normal healthy levels and we're hoping I can be shifted off depending on insulin with metformin. My limbs have thankfully gotten much stronger again. I can write and type without it being a big struggle. Unfortunitly I still get tired way too easily for my liking.

There's still a long way to go. Could be as long as six months or more until things are fully healed to normal. The sudden drop in temperature is also bringing a lot of discomfort. It really makes the muscles on my bad right side stiffen back up.

In any case I hope to make November a good 'bounce back' kind of month. I want to get back to creating things and entertaining you all. There's also a whole bunch of ideas I've had to put off for pretty much the entirety of this year, such as changing up some tier rewards and new forms of content. But that's a discussion I'd like to have a bit later down the recovery road. For now, let's get back to some good old fashioned TFing!

Thanksgiving is going to be a hell of a time! <3
