Health update for everyone
Added 2025-09-27 02:54:35 +0000 UTCI got my second MRI of the year done and it looks like my spine has gotten worse in a few areas. I've been having worse issues with walking, which makes me really fearful for my upcoming trip in a few days. It's embarrassing, but I have to let everyone know I have actually slightly pissed myself a few times because of my discs and nerve damage.
It turns out I have spinal stenosis in a few areas, and I have to wait till Oct 10th to talk to the first surgeon and then the 14th for the second.
I tried to talk to my family a little about my back recently and well... Eh, fuck it. :)
I am going to do my best to do up a commission for a really kind Patron and then schedule it to post before I go.
Please forgive me for my silences, I'm just really really struggling, and this fucking sucks. I can't even walk without constant pain anymore. <3
I haven't wanted to tell my partner how bad it is, and I haven't really told my friends how bad it is.
But I want all of you to promise me you won't be like me, and if you are worried about pain to please keep track of your symptoms and talk to a doctor. Please.
Much love and hugs to you all.

I'm so sorry. Please talk to the people who care about you so they can hopefully support you. I really hope you can enjoy your trip. I've heard people with back problems being able to use something like the hypershell to be able to walk with less pain. Maybe you can rent one for your trip to take pressure off your back. I hope you're doctors are amazing and are able to help somewhat.
