Hi all, I hope you're all staying safe during these trying times. I have been doing my best to. We'd locked down before lockdown was happening official and honestly the severe migraines made a lot of quarantine a bit of a blur for me but, that aside I'd kept busy, and tried to stay safe and away from the relatives that aren't taking everything seriously.
Motivations have been low for me like most so I haven't gotten a huge amount done but, I've tried to stay busy when I have been functional. I've stayed home and all the while strategized to figure out a mask solution I could wear with my medical issues. Also been trying to keep encouraging people, show kindness to others. I've also been doing what I can to be a ally from home and educate myself with current events. I was in the middle of some BLM stickers to sell and donate to some smaller charities that could use the help alongside the finishing touches of artwork for my site to launch when my tablet messed up. I ended up having 2 defective styluses and a detective tablet and am without digital art equipment till I get the shipping label from the company.
Anyways to the subject of this update journal. This week I started feeling like a dagger was in my chest. It was so bad I could only curl up in a ball with the heated blanket and try to sleep. I also started needing my inhaler at 5 am and it didn't seem all thet effective. So feeling like the ER was in my immediate future I prepped one night with a bag of clothes, my info and found my respirator and at 5 am I woke up with a severe asthma attack and the inhalers weren't helping at all so my mom took me to the ER. There they ran through the gauntlet, chest and throat X-ray, a breathing treatment, steroid shot, heart monitoring, blood clot test, several rounds of medicine through a IV, a CT scan. I tested negative for covid and negative for strep. All the tests basically came back good. They finally let me go with insistence that I make an appointment with a cardiologist because my heart rate wouldn't drop to the range they wanted. It was pretty much the scariest health event to date for me and I haven't slept past 5 am once since arriving home from the hospital.
Now I'm home recovering, monitoring my condition and awaiting appointments with my asthma doc and a cardiologist.I am sore, exhausted physically and mentally, angry at people that aren't taking things seriously, angry at my uncle that isn't taking things seriously. I'm experiencing a sort of shell shock when it comes to 5 am and the chest pain came back yesterday after going away for a few days and it's back to the same severity it was before we had to go to the ER. I miss my friends. I'm emotional and I'm trying to distract myself and take things easy. I'm thinking I might start doing some twitch gaming streams. I've been looking into it a while and I think I could do it especially after I finally bit the bullet and decided to try Axon Optics -antiglare, anti migraine glasses. These glasses have brought me so many rare moment, allowed me to look at a screen longer, freaken sit in a room with the lights on. It's incredible the impact those are making and I think thanks to them I will be able to stream on twitch and become a affiliate. I'll post here when I decide to do it if you would like to join me.
Now as I sign off and try to go to sleep instead of let 5 am haunt me like the clock in the Masque of the red death I want to say. Be kind, considerate, wear a mask, be safe, be open minded. Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, Disabled Lives Matter. Kindness costs you nothing and you should care about your fellow human being or you need to seriously reassess yourself.
