Surgery Update (Patreon)

Didn't expect that Gauntlette chapter, did ya! Hehe, I scheduled it for the estimated time I'd be getting sliced and diced and got it right on the money.

Anyway, surgery went fine, I have been de-nutted and my pain seems to be receding very quickly. Honestly the whole experience was so so so nice. Everyone in the hospital was lovely, from the nurses being very good about my pronouns and never slipping up once. (Two nurses almost got into an argument because one thought the other had misgendered me lol.)

Currently writing this and I can't feel them down there and I'm starting to realise how much pain I was in for that two years of chronic pain. You know when you've been carrying a heavy backpack for so long you're used to it, but then you drop it and feel like you're going to float away? Imagine that but with pain instead. It's wild. I'm crying a little.

As for my stories, I'm not going to try and stop my brain from writing when it wants to (We all know by now that trying to do that just ends up with 6 chapters of a brand new story), but I'm not going to force myself to work for a little while.

Thank you all again so much, you're all so lovely and amazing and I am just so damned grateful that you support me enough to do this for a living. Mow. <3 Valerie
