Health Conditions - Tumblr Posts
Personal note to my readers
Honestly, on a personal level, I want to thank you all for your support, even reading and sharing my story. I never thought it would even get 10 readers, and now the chapters are getting over 100 engagements (likes or reblogs).
I am still not working at the moment due to health complications, and for those of you who are members of my Patreon, I want to thank you so much. Your collective support allowed me to pay a utility bill that was about to be shut off.
Thank you for all your support.
Whether you are just a Tumblr reader or a Patreon reader, you are all dear to me. 💜💜💜
Hello, dearest readers-
I have just spent the last several hours in the ER.
I ended up with a 103 fever with dizzy spells, body chills, weakness, wanting to pass the fuck out, migraine, black spots in my vision, vomiting and constant nauseousness.
I am getting discharged. They lanced and drained the abscesses. The infection hasn’t gotten to my blood stream yet but it’s was showing signs of necropathy which they got rid of. I have to follow up with asap to get referred to general surgery to have them fully removed.
The next few chapters may be delayed because they are putting me on some strong antibiotics and Tylenol 4.
I ask for your patience as I deal with this health complication that popped up out of no where.
Thank you! 💜💜💜
It's Surgery Day for My Oldest
Hello, dearest readers,
It's too early, and my sleep hasn't been sleeping well.
Family Update:
My oldest is getting the first of two knee surgeries this morning.
The surgery will fix the meniscus and tighten the tendons that support and stabilize the kneecap.
My Update:
My surgery on 7/26 went well, and I am healing slowly. The closing "skin glue" they used came off, and so now it's an open wound, but the doctor doesn't want to close it up again because "my husband will love me no matter what."
I will be having a different surgery on 8/5 in the afternoon.
This one is minor and technically won't have any external incisions.
Story Update:
I will have plenty of time to finish Chapter 12 throughout today.
So, expect it soon for my lovely and sweet Patreon membership holders.
I will also be working on Breaking and Entering, and Incomplete over the weekend.
So, updates will be coming soon.
I would have had them sooner, but pre-operational appointments galore happened.
Also, my surgery took more out of me than I was expecting because it caused a major flare-up of my autoimmune disease.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
💜💜💜
Hello dearest readers,
I am writing you from the ER.
The derma glue, to close the surgery site, came off when I took off the bandaging from my surgery on the 26th and I saw my surgeon on the first and he said it looked OK.
However, starting Friday, I started having diarrhea like that and then through the night it started hurting like a motherfucker and feeling hot to the touch.
Then when I woke up today, I just got worse and worse and worse and worse and worse… I can barely walk without someone helping me.
I woke up with Violent shaking, massive diarrhea, can’t keep down anything except for a sip of water here and there and even then I still try to throw it up, massive dizziness, passing out, I feel like I’m on fire, but I’m freezing to death, my surgical site is leaking like a faucet and it’s hot to touch and then it feels like a rock.
They have mentioned possible hospitalization but who knows.
They finally gave me Norco and more Zofran and now I am on two different IVs of antibiotics and fluids.
I also stopped shaking and having to keep in the fetal position.
Sorry for errors, using speech-texting mode, my hands are still shaking.
😭😭😭
💜💜💜
So They gave me morphine and I fell asleep.
The nurse just woke me for new vitals and I still have a fever and my blood pressure is everywhere.
She mentioned something about needing to wait for the admitting doctor to finish putting orders in and we are waiting for a room.
Sounds like I get to spend the night here. Whee.
💜💜💜

Getting my plethora of different antibiotics, fluids, and magnesium.
They promise I am Not dying.
However, I am getting moved to the telemetry unit to watch my vitals more closely since I keep having a fever and my blood pressure goes wonky.
I just woke up after they gave me morphine for the pain to get my blood drawn and then met my night nurse.
He took my temperature and it’s 102.6 so it still went up.
Even with Tylenol.
He said he isn’t surprised because my labs looked like I was borderline septic.
Maybe another two hours and I would have been septic.

Well enough to update my dear readers
Hello, dearest readers,
I had to have emergency surgery on Tuesday early morning.
My incision sight from 7/26 had closed up, and the infection and cellulitis began to spread quickly and painfully, almost quadrupling in size in less than 7 hours.
The surgeon said it was not bad but certainly not good-looking when he went in. Tons of fluid, dead rotting issues, etc, were found and cleaned out.
Now, I have a huge hole to perform wound care on and repack daily until it closes up.
I am still on IV antibiotics 24/7, oxycodone or morphine for pain, and am not allowed out of bed with help to do ANYTHING.
I still get extremely dizzy and feel loads of pain when I move, but if I sit without putting too much pressure, then I am not in high pain or feel any dizziness.
I was supposed to go home tomorrow or Saturday, but I may be here longer with how much it hurts to repack the word and this new onset of dizziness.
I want to thank all the continued Patreon membership holders for their generosity and kind hearts,
I want to thank all free members on Tumblr and Patreon for not giving up on me just yet.
I will write again once I am not in so much pain and on very loopy meds.
I PROMISE!
I even have ideas for new stories.
I might even post an ooollllddddd story (two chapters) on Patreon as well, just for something to read.
If my membership holders want me to continue it, then I might just do so.
💜💜💜
Hello, dearest readers,
Thank you for your continued support.
I am still in the hospital because of a few things.
My kidneys are not doing well (but very slowly improving) because of the antibiotics I was on to clear up the sepsis.
Apparently, those two meds are great for infections but highly toxic, and now I have a minor/moderate kidney injury.
My original Hospitalist Doctor, who was off for a couple of days, has returned.
She found out that I can’t leave the hospital because they are still fighting about wound care.
We thought I had been accepted into Valley Presbyterian Hospital for daily wound care, but they will not let me start until September.
So now they are trying to find somewhere to go for wound care that the insurance will cover between now and September.
My insurance is fighting it because they don’t want to cover anywhere.
So even if my kidneys are good to go, I can’t go anywhere.
I still have major brain fog and what not which the doctor says may take a while to get over since when she first saw me I was “one foot in the grave,” and I need to give myself a break.
To be perfectly honest, I am getting clearer every day but exhausted easily.
So we will see.
I am not giving up on you guys or my love for writing anytime soon!
💜💜💜
Moving slowly but surely in the right direction
Hello, dear readers,
I am healing, but it is gonna take time.
I got told today that the wound would heal fully in about two weeks but that I couldn't start physical therapy to relearn how to walk without the walker and take stairs.
I can read short one-shots and drabbles without getting headaches or dizzy spells now!
I am going to try to write something small soon. It won't be something from any of my stories, but it helped me through this ordeal, letting my mind wander to our boys, Ateez, StrayKids, and BTS.
Now, I want to try to share it with you all.
Thank you again for the understanding and kindness you have shown me these past several weeks
💜💜💜
... Ya'll are too nice. Just Kidding! maybe (Patreon poll/updates)
Hello, my dearest readers,
Just a few things for you guys:
1- All ya'll are too nice with the Patreon Membership poll, or I gave you too many options. lol. Anywho, because of the current results of the poll... 100% of you say it is still up to me to pick if it should morph into a Y/n story. That said, an update for Reciprocal Synergy should be out shortly.
2- 16,847 is the current word count for American Mate Chapter 12. Mega Chapter, here we come. I am almost done with it, as we are halfway through the Date with Namjoon. I am unsure what the character limit is here, but I may be forced to split the chapter into two parts ... again.
3- My health is starting to recover quickly. I can watch foreign dramas without getting a headache, and I can read again with almost no headaches. My writing skills are returning, but I still lose words here and there. The only negatives with these have been getting tired quickly or my eyes feeling sore from looking at the computer.
I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the last bits of summer that won't go away. It's been 100+ for almost a week now here in So Cal; in fact, yesterday was 117.
Please stay cool.
Stay hydrated.
Wear your sunscreen.
Sleep well.
💜💜💜
Updates... Where do we go from here?
Hello, dearest readers,
I published everything I wrote before going to the hospital, except new story ideas, for my Patreon Membership holders because of their early access benefit.
These will be released in proper order and at respective times on Tumblr and AO3.
As most of you know, I wrote chapter 13 of American Mate after it came out.
It took me a few weeks to complete and has also been released to my paid membership holders.
This shows me that my health is improving gradually, and I thank you all for your patience.
Insomnia has been keeping me up, but last night, I got almost 11.5 hours of sleep, I guess my body decided it was time to catch up.
I will start working around the house and doing simple chores while continuing my physical therapy, doctor's appointments, and caring for the kiddos more.
In the meantime, I will continue to write for American Mate, Incomplete, Breaking and Entering, and Reciprocal Synergy.
I will attempt to return to the weekly-ish updates of at least one story.
However, do not forget that those of you with a paid membership are allowed to:
Ask a Character a Question. Ask For Extended Scenes. Ask For Additional Scenes. Ask For Drabbles or One-Shots (like 'Was It Fate?')
Today and tomorrow, I will take a break from writing to give myself time to assess my physical abilities.
I am hoping to get rid of the walker this next week!
Thank you again for your support.
And the Fun times (👀) continue...
Hello, dearest readers!
The house is now under quarantine.
1/3 has Covid-19, 1/3 has stomach flu/tonsillitis, and 1/3 has gastrointestinal infection.
Yay, team!
I hope you have all enjoyed American Mate's newest chapter!
I will do my best to persevere and continue to write for the other stories.
In the meantime, my wound care nurse and physical therapist cannot come to the house.
This means that my oldest child is now in charge of wound care, and I will do what physical therapy I can do without a spotter.
These are minor delays in recovery but nothing too significant.
I raise my wand as a Ravenclaw, bow as a member of Downton, and fly to Neverland with Wendy Bird. She will be sorely missed.
💜💜💜
I send you my heart with pain. How did you get to this point? I feel like a beggar after I was a graphic designer in the most prestigious companies in the sector and outside it, and now I am sitting in a tent, carrying my phone to communicate with those who have true humanity to help us overcome this disaster. I am Amina Abu Hashem. I am married and have four children. Among them is my little girl, Maryam. She lived through this genocidal war from the first day, and she was only three months old. The situation here is getting worse day by day. I hope you will share my story and help me leave Gaza and protect my children.
Hello Amina,
I hope you and your family will be able to evacuate soon, InshaAllah. May Allah SWT protect you all and make it easy, Ameen ❤️
Amina, her husband and their 4 children, Joud, Habiba, Omar, and baby Maryam need to evacuate Gaza to reach safety and continue the treatment of their eldest daughter who suffers from a gland disorder. Share and donate !!!

Hello, I am Amal, a mother of seven children ranging from 15 years to 7 months old. Due to escalated war conditions, I relocated to the south, leaving my husband in the north to care for his ailing father. I am eager to reunite with my husband and children as soon as possible. I have initiated a fundraising campaign to support our journey, and I look forward to your support and participation to collectively become a beacon of hope in achieving this dream🙏🙏.

Hello Amal,

Amal, her children Hala 15 years old, Nour 13 years old, Abdelrahman 11 years old, Mohammed 9 years old, Omar 6 years old, Ahmed 4 years, and Hoor 7 months old need help. They had to part from Amal's husband, who stayed behind with his father who can't walk, due to bombing just 10 days after Amal gave birth. Ahmed suffers from diabetes and goes weeks without access to the necessary treatment and care. Baby Hoor suffers from panic attacks from the bombing. Please share and donate what you can so that Amal and her family can be reunited and evacuate to a safe place

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

Hi, It took a few seconds of searching, but I found the fundraiser campaign that you ripped off for your scam post.
I will be sharing Manuel Fajardo's fundraiser instead.
