The updates will continue until morale improves.
So the surgery that was scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed, which is in fact good news. There are two procedures to treat the problem in my eye, one of which I had a preference for over the other. Now, I had a complication in the eye upon which the surgery was going to occur, and if I hadn’t responded well to the new medication, we would have had to rushed into the surgery and done the procedure I did not want. However, since the medicine is doing the trick, we can wait for that eye to calm down a bit and then do the procedure I do want.
Phew. Anyway, while that medication is helping one issue, it does have the side effect of making me lethargic and a little wobbly, which is not ideal. But it’s only for a bit, so I’ll be fine.
I’m still taking it easy on this site for the time being, but I’ll still do some short form yapping on Bluesky, such as Tuesday’s thread on my feelings about “professionally graded” comics written in celebration of my somehow acquiring 5,000 followers on that site.
Now, a surgery is still in my future, there’s no getting around that. I won’t know when for sure until probably my next appointment, but I suspect it’ll be within the the next couple of weeks. I’ll keep you posted. With posts. Here on my posting site.
Thanks for reading as always, and I’ll be back soon.
Sheesh — medicine can be a real balancing act sometimes. Glad to hear that things are back on track. Sending more good vibes to your eye(s)!
Glad things are looking up!
“lethargic and a little wobbly”
I’m like that naturally.
“my feelings about “professionally graded” comics”
I understand it on brittle, old, rare comics, but on modern comics it’s just SO STUPID.
@ Snark Shark
Agreed.
Even many Golden Age Comics that are mid-grade or lower–excepting major “keys”–should not be encased in CGC hard plastic shells–they should be in mylar bags and still readily available to read.
