Reason for absence and donation/commission streams
10 years ago
The holiday season is a very stressful time for me and I will admit that I have neglected you all as I went through the holiday depression. I have been feeling really sad and lethargic and my health situation has not helped with this at all.
I know some of you are waiting to hear back from me with a few commission touch ups and one that really needs to be done as well as others waiting on confirmation. I will get to them all in the morning when I am in a better state.
Basically here is what is going down health wise with me.
For months now I have had this sort of cracked tooth that I have been dealing with, it bothered me and was a bit tender but for the most part I was able to take care of it and ignore it. I mean I had no insurance to see the dentist and nowhere near the money for those kinds of bills.
But a couple days ago my tooth actually broke more, about a third of the top of it was missing and there was no ignoring that. It was off to a discount dentist to see what I could do to salvage my tooth. Turns out I was a stones throw from the emergency room. My tooth has a raging infection which I am now on an aggressive treatment of antibiotics to clear it up. If it had not been detected then my face would have swollen up like a balloon and my air way might have been closed off and then I would have been a medical emergency.
Now on top of that I will need a root canal, my tooth partially reconstructed and then a crown placed on it. The roots of my tooth are a twisted mess so I can't even go to this discount doctor for it... I have to go to a root canal specialist (again with little money and no insurance). We are talking a lot of money that me and my family can't really afford but have to for my health sake.
So over this coming week I will try and get all outstanding commissions finished and I will also be doing very long donation/commission streams in order to at least contribute as much money as possible towards getting my dental work done.
I hope you guys will work with me during this time of anxiety/depression/health issues so I can get back on track when it comes to life and art.
