Dev Update #25
Added 2021-12-06 14:12:29 +0000 UTCHello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been active the last week or so in Discord. And that's because things haven't been going so great for me. First off, my grandma went back to the hospital in terrible shape with terminal cancer. They decided they weren't going to try anything else to help, they were only going to try to make her comfortable now, and now has been moved to hospice. And after having to deal with that, last week, I suddenly fainted and blacked out and was believed to have a seizure(first one ever). I had a small lump on my head but wasn't feeling too bad, just a little exhausted and out of it and slept it off. The next day I started getting horrible headaches and migraines and was feeling terrible, and my mom eventually talked me into going to the hospital, where I spent a few days. They ran a bunch of tests and observed me for a while but didn't find what the cause was or couldn't say for sure or not if I did have a seizure and said they just wanted to make sure it was nothing life-threatening for now because the hospital is overbooked with covid patients and released me.
I'm now back home and still feeling really out of it, tired, and still having headaches. I have some follow-up appointments with some specialists this week. They told me to take it easy and rest for a few days, stay dehydrated, and some other stuff. So hopefully in a few days, I will feel better, and I can get back to work on Ripples because I already lost enough time working on it. It sucks because I don't have that much more to do. I know you guys will say your health is more important, and that is right, but it still sucks.
I am sorry you had to hear this news instead of information about the next update. I'll try to update everyone soon. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe and I miss talking to some of you on Discord.

Take all the time you need too Jestur. if you live with someone try to ask them if you snore or if you stop breathing shortly in your sleep, it can also be some sleep apnae and your body doesn't rest so at some time it will make you sleep, stress too can have effect etc ... hope your doctor will help you and find what happens the hardest thing is not knowing (in my opinion) so take it easy and take the time you need. for your grandma it's sad but you can't do a thing, the only thing you need to decide is do you wish to see her more before the end or not. that's all, whatever people say you also have to take your mind health in check.

2021-12-07 04:51:04 +0000 UTCim sorry to hear of your medical problems, the weird thing something simular happened to me, so i know somewhat what you are going thru, but stress and lack of sleep on top of your other day to day probs can get the better of you. You have to take it easy when you can and keep yourself as healthy as you can, sometimes easier said than done. Hope you get well soon and happy holiday..
2021-12-07 04:18:53 +0000 UTCTake time for yourself always Jes, hope it all gets better for you.

2021-12-06 22:48:10 +0000 UTC"I know you guys will say your health is more important" You're damn right we will. Sure, i'm super hyped for the next update, but i'd hate reading about you being burnt out from working on this, because you've invested your personal health into this project and started to resent working on it. Take care for now. And do your best to get better again. :) There is no critical urgency for the update. We're all just eagerly expecting for it to drop. No one is going to suffer if it comes a little later. So please don't make yourself suffer for it to come sooner.

2021-12-06 18:06:48 +0000 UTCIām really sorry to hear what happened to your grandma. I really hope you get well soon. As others have said your health and family are more important and you should take as much time off as you need to heal completely and be with your grandma. We are all here for you. All the best to you and your family.

2021-12-06 14:58:23 +0000 UTCI really like Ripples and I miss it, but obviously you have to take care of yourself. I hope this isn't too serious ... kinda hard times everywhere these days, and I really hope you get well and don't have these things happening to you anymore. Lost my mom last November.

2021-12-06 14:28:24 +0000 UTCWow. I am so sorry to hear about your grandma. And doubly concerned for your health as well. Remember, that is the most important thing for you right now. You need to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally. Please keep in mind that we are all pulling for you and your loved ones.

2021-12-06 14:21:33 +0000 UTCIts okay Jestur, take your time to heal until you feel a 100% again before you start to work on Ripples. I hope you will heal soon and that your grandma has peace and comfort in her final moments. If you ever need a "shoulder" for support me and many others are here for you!

2021-12-06 14:17:44 +0000 UTCGet well soon! We miss you on discord, I've been worried about you too. Don't force yourself to do anything you don't feel well enough to do. Your supporters loves you regardless. Ripples is very well worth waiting for, and we all know the next update is going to be amazing quality as always. Take your time, get well soon! Much love
