End-Of-Summer Health Update & Announcement: Unpausing My Patreon!

Greetings!  I hope you’ve all been doing alright. <3 I am here with another health update.  And some big news—but we’ll get to that at the end. :3

I meant to have this out quite a bit earlier, but for reasons that will become clear, I couldn’t finish writing this until recently. (I wasn’t really replying to messages for that same reason.)

Alright, let’s get into it.

The Health Update

So first, good news!  While I had a “yeah you have [health condition]” from a specialist since mid-May, along with a treatment path, it hadn’t been completely finalized yet—until now! ;u; I finally have my full diagnosis after months of struggling to get one.  Weird, I know, and frustrating too, but the process is complete.  Yes!

I’ve been slowly getting better in recovery, becoming more capable as I go along, but it’s a process.  It’s been great to be able to write more and take on stuff as I am able to, but this whole thing is a journey.  I’ve been working with the doctors to try to find the right treatment path—some stuff works, some stuff doesn’t.  But glass-half-full: I’m far better than I was before, and each new try gives knowledge of where to go next.  I’m still not “back to normal” health-wise, but I’m getting there, slowly but surely!  And I’m way closer to normal than I was before—much, much closer.

There is something unrelated that happened though.  Lately I’ve been a bit a lot more offline over here than I already am, and that’s because of something else that happened: SOMEHOW, I managed to hurt both of my fucking wrists during this whole thing! C,: Stressed them out so much that they were in severe pain.

At the start of the month, they both felt like they were on fire!  It was hard to write, respond to messages, go on the web, etc while both of your wrists don’t run at full capacity.  I had to slow down and was trying to take it easy while they improved, so I put stuff here aside for a while.

Thanks to the braces and IcyHot I got, along with advice from the doctor, they are nowhere near that pain level now.  They’ve been feeling much, much better—I can do things again, hooray!  They do get bad if I do too many activities that stress them out, so I’ve been switching between writing and resting in order to keep them relaxed.  I’ve also been using text-to-speech programs much, much more, which really helps me keep my creativity up, something very valuable to me.  Also, I have an orthopedist appointment coming up just around the corner—that will resolve any loose ends.

To summarize everything: treatment good, wrists bad, getting better. Just gotta stay the course.

The Announcement (Unpausing the Patreon)

Now for the other announcement: I’m going to be unpausing the Patreon next month (September)!  This means that supporters will be charged on the 1st, so heads up on that.

I’ve been on a very good trajectory lately, and am capable of having the same organization that I had before my problems began.  Since I’m able to take on the Patreon responsibilities both in terms of physical health (treatment path, ability to write [wrists are mostly back to normal, which really helps obviously]) and needed materials (access to a computer, for example—I’ve found ways to do that now, even if it’s not all the time), I feel like it’s time to resume things on the Patreon again.

Obviously, if things go horribly wrong, or something comes up that prevents me from doing Patreon things, I will issue refunds and keep the Patreon paused until things get resolved.  How I am able to manage it this month determines whether it will stay unpaused from now on, if I’ll have to slow down, or if I will have to pause it for a long period again.  But for September, it’s definitely unpausing.

Keep in mind that this is solely resuming the Patreon and the duties that come with it, which includes: the monthly game, exclusive stories, and Patreon commissions.  It is not resuming posts every weekday, or opening monthly commission slots; I don’t want to do either of those until I’m completely back to normal.

I’ll be putting up a poll soon for what y’all want for the first Patreon-exclusive story in September. [UPDATE: Here it is! https://www.patreon.com/posts/71256217 ] As for the monthly game, the poll for that was very adamant that when I’m able to resume those, I start the long-term project Lo-Fi Vore Games To Masturbate To, so I will be doing that! :3 I’m very excited to release the first part of that project—it’s gonna be good!

One More Thing

I do want to do try something else on my account as well in September.  It’s a little different than what I usually do, but who knows, it could turn out fruitful!

I’ll talk more about that next month. ;3 Look forward to hearing more details!

There We Go!

So yeah!  That’s what I have to say for today. I’m improving, and I look forward to doing stuff on here again.

Thanks for reading this update, and for sticking with me.

Until next time!

P.S.

Commissioners, don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten y’all!  I’ve had to take downtime for my wrists, which has affected how much I work and how capable I am at responding to messages. I’ll be working on stuff more this week, and touching base with people asap.  Thank you for your patience!
