This has been a rough month for us both, although I (Sparkle) can say I have had my fair share of bad days recently.

TLDR -
Yesterday I was in pain and for the past two weeks having an issue. I went in to get checked, got meds but nothing to help the pain.
They said I have to let it pass it's course. I have an appointment today with my doctor to see what else we can do in the meantime.
I was not told that I shouldn't work, so I am finishing up these AnthroCon projects to be shipped out tomorrow with 2 day shipping.
Then I will work on projects according to how I feel- sometimes it is difficult to sit at all and I need to lay down, and my current medical condition gives me very little energy.
My assistants will help with projects as much as they can in the meantime.

TMI (and long version) -
I have had the runs for almost 3 weeks, barely having close to solid.
It is getting to the point that it is hard to move a lot without severe intestinal pain, and I was going to the bathroom somewhere between every 15 minutes to every 2 hours.
So when I went in yesterday to the ER, with hours of waiting for test results, they diagnosed me with 'C. Diff Enteritis' or basically 'infectious diarrhea'.
I could have caught it one of two ways, and unfortunately I fit both criteria; recent hospitalization or antibiotics.
I had both two weeks ago on my last Hospital visit.
They cannot give me anything for the pain currently, only antibiotics. I am supposed to eat probiotics to help counteract any negative effect on my body.
I was given 2 weeks for this to 'run its course' however we don't know when it officially started, it could have right after my last hospital visit, or any day between then and now.
I could be in for a rough 2 more weeks, I could be in for only one more rough day.
Even typing this journal I have had to pause and go lay down for a few minutes because of the pain I am going through.
I am going to an appointment today with my Primary Care Physician to see what else we can do to help me through this, as well as a basic checkup to make sure everything else is okay.
After the appointment, we will be focusing on the remaining AnthroCon items today to ship out with 2-day shipping tomorrow.
One of our assistants is coming in later today to help complete some tasks as well.
Because of what I have gone through and what I am still going through, my energy is very sapped and it is hard to sit sometimes.
It is difficult to move a lot, so walking is questionable and excersizing is way out of the question.
Another one of our assistants will be shipping out our boxes tomorrow, so as soon as he returns with tracking numbers I will provide those to everyone.

I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and support during these trying times.

So another drawback is that unfortunately, during this time, I have had to make a bunch of purchases related to medical expenses and it has left us a bit short for one bill this month.
Thankfully it is only one bill, however that bill is our rent. We find ourselves about $350 short of the amount we need.
So we are curious if anyone is wanting a tail commission slot, and at a lower price then usual.
We also have pre-made tails available too.
Custom tails, originally $120 and soon to be raised with our prices, is being offered right now at $100 total, including shipping within the US.
Pre-made tails I cannot budge on the prices for, and do not include shipping. Shipping is typically $20 within the US, $30 to Canada.

If you are interested in a tail, please comment below or send us a FA note.

If you simply wish to donate, you can do so at paypal (ask via fa note or skype or telegram and I will get you the info)
Thank you all for your consideration!
