Medical Update: Endgame

Added 2020-11-17 10:24:42 +0000 UTC

Whew, I'm glad I've been bringing back pinups for end of the month art... Tl;dr at the end!

Hello everyone! I'm providing some updates and a recaps about my bouncing health with good and bad news. I will keep the details for privacy, but:

In mid August, I got sick, and had troubles breathing. My doctor of the moment had diagnosed it as asthma-induced-allergies and put me on treatment for that. When it failed to improve the situation by September, I was asked to do a litany of tests related to this diagnosis throughout September and October.

I also too five Covid tests, on that doctor's prescription.

Around mid October/end November, situation wasn't improving and was starting to degrade beyond "breathing troubles", and I started to think that my doctor was either incompetent, or grifting me (sending me to their colleagues for additional tests, etc). I decided to change doctor. Said doctor asked a simple blood test.

Turns out, I had started developing a pretty severe condition, which should have been detected and treated two months ago for it to be reversible. New doctor is of the opinion that we're still able to start the treatment but it'll be heavy. That's the silver lining.

So, the good new is that after 4 months of being sick and wasting up to two thousand euros in useless medical fees, I FINALLY know what I have.

The bad new for me is what I have, and the bad new for you is, expect major schedule disruption. It may mainly involve WanderLust, which is the comic that asks me the most time to produce. Schedule disruption would be mainly due to clinical stay for observation or hospitalization, both of which may be needed at some spoint.

In the meantime:

This week's WanderLust may be impacted again, mostly because I'm rattled by the new. I have the utmost difficulty finishing the Short yesterday after receiving the results and the preliminary diagnosis, and I don't think I'll be able to focus for a day or two. I'll probably go drown myself in a video game to forget the world exist, because I'm kinda scared at the moment. In case of schedule disruption, I'll produce something else; be it sketches you'd like to see, a return of some Fallout content... I'll make a poll for you to chose what you'd prefer.

Pinup shouldn't be impacted at all. In fact, I may start it this week since and do WL in the week that'd normally be reserved to the Pinup. The process of pinups is one that's familiar to me, and right now, familiarity is comforting.

No change to HMGBAPS planned so far, Short if no main page, may start a porn centric Pokémon comic to give you your fill of sexy content.

Tl;dr: Got sick in August. My previous doctor was shit, ran me in circle for 4 months till I change doctor. New doctor finds I have something bad that should've been detected 2 months ago. Starting heavy treatment to prevent it become chronic, thus fatal. May get hospitalized if treatment requires it, so schedule may be disrupted.

Not doing WL this week cuz I'm freaking out and gonna do stuff to take my mind off the real world for today, but I'm planning sexy stuff in case I end up disrupting it more than is ideal.

Pinup's gonna be ok.

To conclude:

I'd really like to thank you for your patience and support so far. I know these last four months have been a bit chaotic, but I'm doing my utmost best to return things to a stable normality. Now that I know what I have, all that's left is treat the illness, and Arceus willing, I'll be out of these woodworks soon enough!

I have no intention or desire to die soon, dammit! D:<

Best,

Kite
