Where did I go?

Posted on December 5, 2021December 5, 2021 by Joshua

Hey-o everyone. Sorry for vanishing again. Things haven’t been going well. I’m not entirely sure where to start.

First let’s go over recent medical issues. I was having extremely sharp abdominal pains and I pooped blood. Like a lot of blood. I was unable to move for two weeks. If I moved it just hurt. We found out I had an ulcer and I got medicine for it. This helped a lot. We recently found out I have large polyps in my colon as well. I need to have surgery to get them removed. I am able to walk right now. I am trying to get back to doing over 10,000 steps a week. I was doing really good. As you can see with the stats section I’ve lost a lot of weight now. However, if I move too much I’ll start to hurt.

Second, my job fired me. My old job shut down and my new one fired me over the medical issues. They listed most of my medical leave as personal time. In fact, the day they fired me I was able to go back to work the next day. Now I need to find a new job while dealing with medical issues. I can walk and teach no issue. It’s just the overly physical way I teach that makes things worse.

Third, before my job fired me I had two on the job issues they refused to acknowledge. One was a student pushing me out of a chair hurting my back. The second was someone spraying so much perfume my lung started to hurt and I needed to get on an oxygen tank to clear out my lungs. I have a weird breathing based allergy to perfume. For some reason if I breathe in perfume my throat starts to close and my lungs hurt. The hospital here told me to lose weight to deal with it and told my job I do not have an allergy. It’s the only allergy I have. I’ve no idea why it only triggers when I breathe it in. If it touches my skin it does nothing. It’s also not all perfumes. I’ve no idea why. The hospital said because I don’t have a rash it can’t be an allergy. Instead it is due to my weight. The two doctors who told me to lose weight both weighed more than me.

Fourth, I lost all motivation for everything. I am starting to get it back now but the medical issues make it hard. I’ve been buying artbooks again and it is helping me get back into working. I am programming again. I started to work on a short story I was writing again. I can’t really get back into guitar right now. I wrote most of a song! I think 2 more verses and it’ll be good.

Fifth, I got all my stuff set up to get back into speed running. However, I have more pressing things right now. I’m excited to get back into it and I can’t wait to get back on that grind. I’m trying to find a game to get into. I was thinking Let it Die but the online connection issues gets so annoying. I think in the mean time I’ll try doing a few game reviews. As, I can play about 20-30 minutes a day right now. I’d need a full 2-3 hours to get back into speed run grinding. My last time for Twisted Metal Small Brawl was 2 hours and some change.

I guess that’s about it. Hope you all are well.
