It's been a while all, just figured I'd talk about this year as it has sucked and I won't be sad to see it go :/

For the most part it wouldn't be that notable except for a couple of events...

the first quarter of the year was normal, nothing to complain about there, fast forward to April, and I contract a NASTY case of Brochitis, as If that doesn't suck, after dodging the bullet for TWO YEARS it happened. The following week my folks come home from a dinner party... EVERYONE there ultimately tests positive for covid, and my parents bring it home, my immune system and frankly my lungs were already thrashed and had some issues that landed me in the hospital over night with "Acute Respiratory Distress", a fancy way to say I take 10 steps and was heaving for air, I spent the rest of that week semi delirious with a fever of 102 ~ 104 degrees, don't remember much from those dates. I still have shortness of breath to this day, and suffer from Chronic Fatigue... Long Covid's a b****.

Now we move forward to July 19th, I'm out on my new e-bike minding my own business, keeping the speed low as I'm on sidewalks and as I'm crossing a parking lot exit, blammo, some twit that didn't look the other way tried to gun it out ahead of traffic despit my right of way in the crosswalk... right through me...

Lands me in emergency again, many x-rays later, my moments on that table some of the most painful moments in recent memory, show an abnormality in my spine, they write it off as an old injury, and tell me I didn't break anything. I leave the ER and return to work the following week (The folks at the ER told me to take it easy for a week and recover... HAH!), well, followed up with my P.C.P. and he didn't like the diagnosis I got OR that abnormality, so he scheduled me for an MRI. yeah at this point, I had literally been at work on reduced hours for two weeks with my T12 and L1 vertebrae chipped and cracked, and a slipped L5 S1 disc, it's no wonder I was slumped over the counter by the end of the night EVERY night for the last two weeks at the restaurant I work at. Still recovering from that.

I have my lost wages coming and a modest lawsuit working, so $$$ yay! (sarcasm) and THANKFULLY NO medical expenses drivers insurance payed all of it no questions asked, and pain every night I finish work as I'm trying to build my backs strength back up, so yeah, this year can suck a big D.

I'm going to try to get myself drawing again so I can be more active again but... we'll see where that goes...

Just wanted more or less let people know that yes I AM still alive, for better or worse >..> and to wish all y'all an early Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas, if I don't get to it on the date itself :3

For clarification before anyone asks, Vaxxed, boosted, and still got it =..=
