"Hey y'all. I know things have been a bit sparse recently. I just wanted to pop in and touch base with y'all on what's going on IRL with me.
So, last week around 1am on the 29th, I had a severe, striking pain in the left side of my chest and arm, along with severe heart palpitations. I had to call 911 and be brought to the ER, as I thought I was having a heart attack.
Thankfully, after everything from X-rays, EKGs, preliminary blood work etc, they were able to determine it was not a full blown heart attack. But we do know that it was stress related, and I've been experiencing panic attacks since then based of stress.
I'm currently staying with family for what I plan to be about 2 weeks, and taking time off of Cloud Meadow for my mental health. This was likely a result of many small aspects of my life leading up until now, rather than any one single thing, and I'm taking measures to change what I can, as well as get further blood work done to make sure there aren't any genetic factors at play.
But I'm am planning to return to work on cloud Meadow on the 13th of September, and we're planning some adjustments to the animation schedules so we can avoid this from happening again, alongside other IRL adjustments.
But TLDR; I'm safe, but I'm taking a short leave for medical/mental health purposes."
When Diesel returns, he'll finish off the Eve x Male Dragon, and then proceed to work on sprite images for the rest of the month, and perhaps into next month depending on how things go.
