#me update

Yuppers!! Me😔💔

Just a little thing. Thank you all who have donated to or promoted my GoFundMe, I had a CT Scan a few days ago and did not hyperventilate about how I was going to pay for it. I love you all.

I've been taking the new drug for a couple of weeks. I was worried about the side-effects. Mostly I was thinking they'd be like the general chemo side-effects -- you know, nausea, loss of appetite, lightheadedness, so on. It did that for a couple of days and then that passed. So, that was nice, but then I got hit with an unexpected side-effect -- joint pain! So fun. My shoulders hurt so much, babes. I've been taking ibuprofen even though I'm not supposed to, but it's honestly the only thing that works.

My surgeon's office called and she wants to do a follow up call. I'm not sure what about unless she talked to my oncologist and is rethinking the surgery thing. I don't know. There's nothing else to follow up on. I guess we'll see in a few days.

Other than that I've been feeling well and focusing on protein intake and staying hydrated (that is a real challenge for me).

I've been working on my original thing. I'm feeling very self-conscious about it, but I'm just generally a neurotic mess, so... But! I've been working on it. I'm trying to treat it like a job, where I go to "work" every day and write something. It's a difficult transition. Not the least bit like fic writing, except there are words.

My patreon is live, but there's not much there yet. I'll share it in a minute.

-I finished adding the first wave of pages on my website finally (it took 7 months!!!) so please check that out if you haven't seen it in a while! Now I am finally on the 'dig out more old art and add it' stage

-In a shocking turn of events I have more than one art fight pieces going, but none posted yet obviously. :Va I haven't decided yet if I was going to do grayscale stuff like I do every year or do flat colors. It's easier for me to draw on the ipad, but I prefer coloring on my PC, so I figured it would be easier to get a small batch of linework done, then make a decision once I move them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
