Medical Update
Added 2024-04-05 20:04:41 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
If you were on the discord the last few days you might be aware, but for those who don't know: I had a medical emergency this week and was in the ER for a day. Long story short: I was experiencing atrial fibrillation (irregular and rapid heartbeat) and the doctors had to stop and restart my heart to fix it.
I am out of the hospital now and have been put on medication to prevent complications with my heart while I recover.
Why am I making a post about it? Because I will have to take it easy for the next few days to recover and will be on the medication for at least a month. I think that is something I should let you all know. I will continue to work on art during this time because drawing is not physically demanding, but I may need to take more short breaks if the medication causes too much fatigue. There is also a chance the atrial fibrillation comes back, though the medication should prevent that from happening. But like I said, I will continue to make art every week as long as I am healthy enough to do so.
I'll continue to update you on my condition if anything changes. Hopefully the cardiologist will say I'm fully recovered in a few weeks and it'll be like this never happened.
Thank you all once again for your support during this time and I hope you'll continue to enjoy my art.

Yeah it could have ended badly if I ignored it according to the doctors. But luckily I'm alive! And yes, I will rest up and make sure to be careful. Thanks for the message!
