Let's have an update, because holy crap has it been a week.

C/W: medical

Leading up to the inciting incident, it was a pretty normal day. On Saturday 2/11 we played D&D with friends, had pizza, had a good time. I had been feeling a little bit of nausea the past couple days but I attributed it to the pizza.

Sunday 2/12 I woke up NEEDING to throw up. Already alarming, because it's been like 15+ years since I've vomited. And when I did, it was THICK and BLOODY. I started crying because something was very wrong, and Tiki rushed me to the ER. After three ish hours of being there, I was sent home with some medication and the diagnosis: an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Fun times.

The rest of the week has been me on bedrest. I threw up again both Sunday night/Monday morning, and again Monday night/Tuesday morning, but since then I've felt a lot better stomach wise.

When not sleeping, my week has been consumed by anxiety attacks. I just keep worrying, wondering why, etc. It doesn't help that I've been out of work for a week, unpaid. I work for a small business, so the paid time off isn't an option, but I'm allowed to take as much time as I need.

As such, I've put up a donation goal on my ko-fi to try to regain lost wages and to cover for the possibility of calling out next week too. If you can share it around, I would appreciate it a lot.

I'm going to attempt an exercise walk today, hopefully I feel ok after. I feel so weak because I've been in bed for most of the past six days.

I was planning on opening for conbadge commissions for two upcoming conventions this past week, but this medical adventure stopped me from doing that. Hopefully I'll do it in a week or two. I'll attempt to get something drawn in the meantime.

Hope y'all have been doing better than me. Love you all! 💖
