Update // Downswing of the infection/antibiotics/steroids
10 years ago
It's fair for those cynical enough to think I was disappearing again.
Still hurts though... hah!
To keep it concise here is a list of topics I'm addressing:
- Health update
- CONVENTION BUSTS
- MIK FOLIO PROJECT STUFF
- IMMINENT SCHEDULE
HEALTH UPDATE
But no. Just bad luck here. The medication absolutely wrecked me. After I went back to the doctor but nearly all of the symptoms I was experiencing were universally side effect from what I was prescribed. The good thing is that the infection/ abscess finally stopped being an infection/ abscess (crazy how quickly holes can just apparently open in your own body... god damn) but I still had the medication to contend with. Chills/ crazy fatigue/ endless stomach pains had me basically bedridden for most of the time since the last update. I didn't decide to stay in bed... it's just that I couldn't stay awake for more than a few hours. Blegh. Kind of eye opening how much pills just suck... and these are just mild side effects. Apparently I have a nice long list of possible side effects to watch out for after taking the steroids... neato~
I'm done with nearly all of the meds though - all that's left is a topical regime but other than that I'm now steroid/ antibiotic (and possibly infection) free so yay... I can feel normal again (and stop obsessing over the possibility of having MRSA). More and more energy every day and having a stomach no longer sucks shit.
CONVENTION BUSTS
Most are completed. Some of you have seen yours already. None have recieved them fomally yet - sorry about that. I have contacted everyone at least once I believe and am addressing concerns as I get to them
MIK FOLIO PROJECT STUFF
I'll be sending everyone in Offbeatr messages with links to the files. Some of you have recieved yours already. Possibly most haven't and I thought the people who took 25% of the money raised would at least look into it. Nope. I was hoping the site would cover the basic hosting and distribution as per what they offered in doing business through them... but I have given up on them and am hosting it myself by getting a dropbox pro account.
As for the higher reward tiers I will be able to begin the fulfill those rewards starting roughly June 6th, which is a hard deadline for a book I'm prepping for AC.
IMMINENT SCHEDULE
I have a short comic and pinups I'm working on for Sexyfur/ Tailheat. I'm running late this month so I'm going to do what can for the rest of this month. Additionally around this time every year for the last few years I turn in the last year's works for publishing in a magazine style print - aka my folio. There is usually a hard deadline for AC works but Furplanet was awesome enough to extend it by a few days so once I'm done with these works - which will finish this book off (at roughly 70-74 pages...). That should cover the next few days. After that I will continue with commission/ auction work! I Also have 500 notes to read so there is that also!

You just make sure you stay rested up and don't push yourself into doing more work if you don't have the energy. Your body needs all the juice it can get to get it up to snuff!
Good luck, and I hope for a fast recovery for yah!
Hope you get better soon, and i'm glad you're already doing better :)
I hope you feel better soon and you experience minimal steroid withdrawal side effects.
