Follow up on my last journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4287392/
Giving a heads up that my activity may dwindle in the next coming weeks as I am scheduled to go in for cross-linking on the 4th of March to halt Keratoconus progression.
I will not be fully incapacitated as they won't operate on both eyes at the same time. They'll be doing my worst eye, my right one on that date and then my left eye in two months from that. Being that they will be using the invasive procedure, I will have to go in for regular check ups every couple of days or so as the first week is the most crucial period; the healing stage.
As stated previously, this does not cure the disorder and only halts the progression where it is right now which is a good thing while I still have most of my vision. After cross-linking, I will be fitted with special contact lenses that should help improve my sight.
Currently I'm using a new pair of glasses I was prescribed a week ago as a temporary mean of providing better sight. It's not perfect due to the double vision and blurryness brought on by Keratoconus, but it has been immensely helpful and certainly provided a little more comfort - it sure feels nice to be able to actually read text from a distance!
I figure it'll be better once I have the procedure done and I am certainly looking forward to that. It will be a long way, as they are expecting the entire ordeal to take anywhere from 4-6 months.
How active I am will depend entirely on my capability, but I will try to keep everyone updated as best as I can. I will still continue to draw like I have done so. Sure it's a little slower, but that does not matter so long as I continue to enjoy it. Who knows, it might be interesting to compare my progress between now and then. <3

Eye surgery is scary. ;_; In some ways, even scarier than the MORE vital stuff, like heart or brain surgery.
Really hope this works for you. Eyes are important for artists.
I therefore have no worries with how you'll rock through this
Just keep on being awesome, ne?
Oh well, I suppose if you're staying natural, there's no better excuse than for beauty purposes, right?~
The sooner these procedures are done, the better. That way we can all stop worrying about our beloved overlord and get back to going "Ooooh, aaaah" at your art! I'm a little surprised about how chill you are about all this, because if I were in the same position I would probably be an openly nervous wreck out about it. Keep us posted!
