State of the Author

People on my Discord have already been told about all this, but I realized I haven't said anything publicly about it. So I wanted to do an update on my health and what's been happening this past week.

Last Sunday, I hurt my back. My chair had an issue and the back of it gave out. Turns out it was a bit worse than I'd thought, pinching some nerves at my spine. They gave me some dysentery-like symptoms, which laid me out when not trapping me in the bathroom for almost three days. I even kept spiking a fever.

Now, thankfully, the sick part of that has cleared up, but the back is still an issue. It isn't debilitating, thanks to my professional knowledge of stretches and the like, but it is still painful. Not surgery painful, but aches and cramping muscles.

Now, I was SUPPOSED to be going to a convention on the 2nd, but unfortunately, because of this, I will not. Boo, I know. But there is no way I'm going to survive being stuck in a car for hours with my back cramping up like this, let alone sleeping on an unfamiliar bed or sitting in the very uncomfortable chairs at the convention itself.

I doubt this will have a HUGE impact on anything in the future, but a heads up that there is always a chance. Yay for getting old.

"Yay for getting old."

Yes, it sucks, but at least it gives you the opportunities to continue experiencing things rather than the alternative.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

True enough. With age comes experience and wisdom.
The body sucks. When you are young, you have all the energy and ability to do anything, but don't have the wisdom or experience needed to know how to do it with skill.
When you get old, you have all that wisdom and experience, and a body that increasingly refuses to follow directions anymore.

Thanks. The worst of it has passed, thankfully, but the back issues will be something I'll have to deal with for a time. Stretches have helped a lot, and I have training to know how to do it properly and minimize the risk of reinjuring myself.
