Transparency Update and Story Stuff
3 years ago
General
So normally I reserve updates like this for watcher milestones, buuuut we did hit 1.1k a while back, so this sorta counts.
I figured an update was needed regarding the “testicular terror” mentioned in the last journal. So when we left off, the pain was still a thing, and a follow-up wasn’t in sight till October (this was in May). What I didn’t mention was I still had contact with the doctor via the university’s site. I mentioned my situation to them, and what was the response?
More antibiotics!
Infection still giving you trouble? Didn’t hit it with enough meds. I know I make it sound a bit condescending, but at the time I was a bit pessimistic and assumed it wasn’t going to work.
And then it worked.
Pain seems to have faded, and I haven't had it for a few months now. It comes back faintly when I’m notably stressed, but those are few and far between. At this point I’m just happy to be able to function normally with the fear of a pain attack sneaking up on me.
Now, pain update complete. Onto other topics. Commando finally got a new chapter out (only took me a year) and I’ll be trying to see if I can keep the momentum for Chapter 8. Meanwhile, Pride of Two Tribes is more or less “complete”, but I keep wondering if it needs some sort of epilogue to it. I know it more or less ends on the implication is going to form, but I keep wondering if it needs more. Let me know what you guys think. Oh and Happy New Year, that's going on right now too.
