Hello! It's been a while!
Where I'm at healthwise:
>Hand a paralyzed right arm and leg from the brain damage, after a lot of rehab they work again and I'm able to type, if slow.
>Had both type of stroke; Ischemic and Hemorrhagic, my left temporal lobe is dead, is the part that process words and numbers. Through rehab I'm able to do limited versions of words/numb but it shuts off at random; still, my recovery is beyond what all Drs thought I would.
>Balance is back, able to use stairs again and walk fine
>My medical bills are still processing, whole big mess. STILL not given disability by the Gov'd, is insane the barrers.
>A had a rare bacteria eating holes in my heart that wouldn't have been found had they not already been taking care of my stroke damage, so I have a nice long scar over my surname where they cracked me open to replace valves and scrap stuff off my heart.
>Retraining in Ux, and still looking around; trying to get someone to employ you when you cant type well, cant numbers or words, cant move heavy things and run out of energy before a full days' work is... hard. Can't blame anyone for not wanting to hire dead weight though. Am working with state programs to find a job that works for me.
>Will resume work/comms once Im moved out, to a much smaller level; a good part of why I ended up here was from not taking care of myself.
>Will try doing art for me for once, prob a lot more Béchamel, and thinking of making a new sona.
>Even though Im not posting much, I've been studying a LOT on composition, storyboarding, color, and the holes in my anatomy, I will be a different and better artist when I'm back. Also learning Godot, might try to add interaction or new presentation to my work in the future.
>Am going to train up my longest known friend on my anim process, will have a spiritual-sucessor if I don't end up back in a large way; trust me when I say she has the making of a really talented animator.
>I'm a Lefty so the strokes/Brain damage didnt affect my drawing, but my right IS my anim frame flipping hand. I am practicing drawing with my Right though to see if my brain will reacquire the skills, also forcing my hands to try piano a bit. Longterm goal is to have enough arm control back to do BJJ or Boxing.
>Had a lot of time to think about life in a lot of ways, on off depression trying to be thankful for having a future ahead of me, but also the "whats the point" thoughts and thinking things would have wrapped up a lot nicer if I had just died.
I don't want this account and all my posts to be depresso and stroke bs 24/7, but there's def a lot of on-off think I have processed and then it comes back again.
I'm alive, and as someone constantly at death's door for months, I can tell you death isn't scary when you're almost there, it feels very sleepy. I can also tell you that the brain is remarkable at retooling, make a plan and you can get a little better every day!
That's all I got off the top of my head.

Glad to hear from you!
Please don’t call yourself dead weight, or that you are worth less due to this medical incident. You are loved and thought of by many, even ones you don’t know
It is encouraging to hear the news about recovery efforts! I would like to suggest drinking soursop/guanabana juice daily. I knew someone who had cancer and had to have parts of his brain removed, he would drink soursop and do puzzles to practice. He recovered quicker, and eventually (2 years) was able to ride a bike unassisted (he liked to bike to my work where I met him). Soursop is believed to help with cell production, I mostly hear cancer patients talking about it but I’m hopeful it could help.
Wishing you the best, and always keeping you in my thoughts, I hope you a wonderful new year! Thank you for keeping us updated

It sucks that things are still so hard with the gov't, medical process and having to relearn and restructure around the after effects of those strokes, can't imagine how much weight that must be on you. Here's hoping that through enough time and effort, there's at least some kind of good waiting for you while you're working your way back in whatever way possible.
For what it's worth, and if it helps lighten the mood for your days at all, you've been one of the biggest inspirations I(and I'm sure many others coming up) have been following as an artist for years now, and hearing that you're still trying what you can to keep going despite the setbacks is remarkable. Regardless of what happens going forward, you're still going to be one of the best animators we've had, and will always be an inspiring person to have around.

Super happy to know you're recovering, it warms my heart to read another update from ya, almost tearing up here lol
You are literally my biggest inspiration, the motivation to always get better at art, and also one of the reasons I actually started animating nsfw to begin with
So, yeah thank you for being such an amazing artist, hope you get better and better, day after day
Glad you're hanging on, wish you nothing but the best, and a happy and prosperous 2025! <3
