Hey! This is Zoro coming with an update about my health as quite a few things have happened the past couple of months. As some may know, I've been dealing with chronic pain and illness since February of last year as mentioned in this post here.

A quick summary of it was that I have been dealing with constant bladder and stomach problems suddenly that were disrupting day to day life as they were painful and constant. Despite the multiple hospital visits, nothing was really done and at the time I could only wait to see certain specialists (which required a lot of money to see). Recently however, I finally got an answer to what was causing me pain in one part of my stomach! The culprit was my gallbladder and it has been removed!

The rest of the post will be caught off so for those who want to read in more detail, but one issue has been solved (at least i hope so)!

I also want to note here and thank everyone who's been supportive of me during this rough patch in my life. I also want to thank those who sent money for the GoFundMe! However, due to a few circumstances which will also be explained in the read more section, I will be refunding it all to those who donated.

TLDR version of my reason is that I was advise to do so for the eligibility medical/financial benefits I've been looking into. The refunds should be sent in about a week, so keep and eye out!

TW for Medical related subjects such as surgery.

For what was causing me pain in my stomach, or at least one of the reasons:

Turns out I had gallstones that somehow CT scans and ultrasounds didn't pick up last year, despite the pain and discomfort I was in from them. It got to the point where the pain was so unbearable, I was crying for about 2-3 hours before going to the ER. They found one stone had thicken walls through the ultrasounds and my gallbladder was infected from these stones.

Because of the findings, I underwent surgery to completely remove it during my stay in the hospital. I am now close to two weeks post-op and so far it has relieved most, if not all, of the constant pain I've been in my upper right. While I still have issues elsewhere in my body, it feels nice to have one issue solved. I just hope I don't need another trip to the ER anytime soon.

As for the detailed explanation for refunding the GoFundMe donations:

A few months back I after the go found me, I was accepted in a financial assistance program that made doctor's visits way cheaper. From close to hundreds of dollars to 3 dollars, that was way more an affordable price range for me. Despite that, i kept the donations on hold just in cause anything changed or something wasn't covered by the program until now.

Along with that, I've been applying for disability as I am considered disabled by my psychiatrist due to my mental health. After talking to a few folks who knew about the system, they mentioned that the money from the fundraiser could harm the process in gaining these benefits. Their recommended course of action was to refund the money as a precaution, so I'm following their advice. After the refunds have gone through, I will be closing the fundraiser.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, I want to give a massive thank you everyone in general who have supported me through all this. Its been difficult, especially since I had to accommodate to the pain and changes in my body. There has been MANY ups and for sure downs, but I'm still holding on!

Thank you for reading on this update, and expect to see me slowly become active again on here! I'm still in my Zonai phase so expect more content revolving around that, along with possible Zora content. Original works not involving fandoms will also (hopefully) be posted too!

Im also thinking of opening commissions in the future! I'll need to ask about that first due to what I mentioned above, but as far as I'm aware, I should be okay to do so (but don't quote me on it). So keep an eye out!

Fiance and bf went out tonight. They had mead, cigars, and wonderful food. Meanwhile I'm at home like "ah yes, bland tofu won't hurt me right now."

I hate this post surgery recovery process.

I've seen some things online that say you're not supposed to have caffeine for a while after getting your gallbladder removed? How hard will I die if I drink coffee??

peak weird did thing is when your vision changes. not in some weird medically improbable way but its like your vision... sits... different. I'm gonna explain that hold on.

it's kinda like the spot your focus just naturally sits when youre not trying is different. and a different kinda field of vision, like tunnel vision to a different extent. so it kinda feels different just to exist and be conscious and be in the world. like a different kinda lens

maybe its not so medically improbable even to propose that alters could technically have different eye tests or something. 'cause like. everything in your eyes is still muscles and nerves and controlled by the brain, yeah? just focusing on one thing or another is your brain doing the right movement just like it's posture or the way you walk or or the way you talk

and we have other neurological eye shit going on so we know full well that everything you see is controlled by + filtered through the brain. just by default

the only difference between controlling your eyes to see and controlling your hands to pick something up is we're so good at using our eyes we don't really think about doing it. or something

but that kinda unconscious stuff is gonna be really susceptible to did, maybe. like your eye muscles could legit be working different OR it's about how all the images are getting processed in the brain. like they're edited in post as opposed to someone screwing around with the camera lens

we never thought about that before but it makes so much sense. and the 'having different glasses prescriptions' always seemed like an urban myth bouncing around but when you think of it like 'unconsciously your eye muscles could react different' OR that it's more what your brain's doing rendering that shit it's way more believable

same with literally anything people point to as 'seeing fake' like alters having different voices or accents. we don't get that 'cause we already suck at talking in general but it's kinda cool. and also makes sense because hey, muscles, brain. if the control centre is sending different signals that's gonna do all kinds of shit. why would it NOT be possible 'cause it's not like anything in your body is really working independently. except my gallbladder 'cause that thing is 100% rogue and filed for emancipation. I hope it's in a better place now

I’ve done so much tidying and prepping to maximize my comfort and convenience. Any medicines I expect to need are right on my desk in my room so that no one has to dig in the cabinet for them. Laundry? As done as it can be. Dishes? All washed. I have a hydration drink prepped in the fridge, some choice cans of soup on the table, and even labeled leftovers from today’s lunch for future microwaving. Typing this post reminded me to get the long charging cord so it’ll reach to my bed. Even washed my hair tonight so that I wouldn’t feel icky the next couple days and thereby minimize shower necessity. Left a few notes for whoever’s sitting with me the next day or two. I’m so ready. My nesting abilities are unmatched.

First day back to work after surgery and just saw an emeritus colleague in the hall who asked me “why the fuck are you here?! Go home and rest!”

Today was testing the waters and they’re right. Going to have my TA cover classes for me again, cause hoo boy. Recovery takes a while. Even my boss told me to go home and sleep.
