Hello~!

It has been a while, hasn't it? I wanted to update everyone on how I have been and what's new in my life.  Since the surgery in October, I have been improving quickly and I could not be happier. I have stopped slurring entirely and haven't collapsed once. I still have to get IVIG treatments every six weeks to keep the disease under control, but it is nowhere as bad as it was just a few months ago. In another year or so, we will know if the surgery forced it into remission. I am hopeful. I still have bad days, since the Myasthenia Gravis and Hypothyroid were just two additions to a laundry list of chronic illness I have been suffering from since I was eleven. I am working to get healthier.

I have more energy now than I have had in years. I feel like I have a life again. I am catching up on my requests and commissions as quickly as possible, but I am also taking the time to enjoy myself as well. You see, when you are ill for a long time, it feels as if time comes to a screeching halt. You are trapped in a vortex and life passes you by while you are at a standstill. When you finally emerge, everything is different and you are the same. I want to reconnect with the people who thought I abandoned them due to my illness. I want to go on real dates with my boyfriend. I want to go on vacation. I am doing some of these things and I enjoy it. I will be going back to school in the Fall and though I am self-conscious about how far behind I will be when my friends are all near graduation, I understand it is not my fault. I want to push forward and get my degree.

I want to pursue voice-acting in particular because I know this is the best option for my health. I am aware that I will still have to obtain a degree in a "legitimate" career just to make sure I can provide for myself while pursuing my true love, so I am still studying Psychology in school but I have never been more serious about making something of myself and am looking for any advice on voice.

I also got a TUMBLR under the name LuffyKun3695 so you can follow me if you want to. Anyway, thanks for reading. I appreciate the patience and the support more than I could ever properly put into words. Even though there are a lot of stupid people in this generation, I am glad I am alive now because without the internet I never would have met all of you wonderful people.

I am working diligently on all of my stories as well as some smutty commissions to be posted off-site.

To All My Friends and Watchers

I am going back into the hospital to receive a surgery that may help my Myasthenia Gravis. It is a major surgery that involves removing my thymus. There are two ways of completing the surgery, one involves going in from the sides, the other involves cracking open the sternum. I won't know which I received until I wake up because it all depends on how the surgeons do while I am under anathetics.

The surgery is schedules for October 7th

After I wake up I will be unable to use my arms properly for at least a week and the recovery and therapy will take between one and three months, depending on the type of surgery and how I recover. I may be able to play online a little bit, but I also may be drugged out on the pain medication they will be giving me.

Currently, I am preparing for the surgery by getting everything covered from re-arranging my room in a more convenient way to purchasing easily removable pajamas. I even wanted to cover a little holiday shopping, just in case, since I won't be able to drive until I am fully healed.

I want to thank all my friends for your support. Email me at luffy_sp@yahoo.com at anytime. I appreciate the well-wishes and prayers. I really want to thank everyone who has been with me this long. I hope that my health will finally be under control after ten years of struggling.
