alive update

Okay so I made it through... just not as a whole person haha..

I am one abcess and two 3/4 inch cysts lighter. which does not equate to much weight. So I am finally ready to diverge my disease and this is only because I was finally diagnosed.

I have Acute Pilonidal Cyst Syndrome with Hirutism. Yes I know weird and what I look like now is even more weird. Although 75,000 suffer from Pilonidal cysts they are I will losely say lucky enough to be able to manage them although still probably will somewhere down the road have pain. In my case I couldn't control the infections I was getting and I was getting too many reoccurances. As a result I have a whole in my back that your could easly fit a tennis ball and golf ball side by side in. GROSSSSS ...... I know... you can imagine that I haven't been up and about but I have been trying to plug away at some art. I have some new thing I have been expirementing with and I have some new little things for Etsy, but that will be for later. Right now I cant stand for more than 20 mins. In total this will take 3 months to heal, but should have mobility within a month. We will see.

Thanks for all the well wishes and sticking by my side. Your encourgagement helps. I am just so bummed out that this all happened at a time where I was actually making sales and seeing the drean come true....

I hope all of you are doing well and know I think about you all frequently!


Smooches,
