Weekly Update (Patreon)

How are you doing boys and girls?
I’m fine… I’m still waking up this morning, but I haven’t felt as good as in the last 2 days since… I can’t remember really! Those smaller days and weekends off are starting to take effect.

Also, Thursday ended a weird little problem for me. Back in November I decided to buy a treadmill. Inaction was taking its tool on my body and winter in Quebec is not a great moment to take walks outside. It’s cold as hell, wet, and with my back and ankles being quite fragile, I never felt safe walking on snow… The other day I went to the grocery and ended up limping back home. My ankles where always fragile but it’s been worst ever since my injuries 3 years ago. Stairs are also an issue :P I ended up tumbling down two floors down on the last time I got out to watch a show with my best friend. But I digress. Suffice to say, my ankles are fragile and do not support me so easily… so going out on uneven frozen terrain is not good for me, and I had to do something about it.

I went on Amazon, look around for a week, found a treadmill that was heavy enough to take my weight and ordered it. 3 weeks later I still had not heard from the seller, no estimated dates of delivery, nothing, so I canceled...

Christmas came and went, I kept looking around, found another one I thought was interesting, ordered it, got a delivery date confirmed for a months later… A month later, on the last day, I got an email from the seller telling me they were really sorry, that their system had accepted the sale automatically but somehow they didn’t know about it, but they were sending it to me asp. The next day I got the usual confirmation of expedition by Amazon, so I waited… and waited… In the mean time I started to read the review on the seller page; Apparently they were terrible, and their product was cheap and horrible… I started to panic. But there was nothing I could do at this point to cancel the sale… at best I could send it back afterward.

The delivery date came and went. And about a week later I got an email from the seller: they were very sorry, but they never got my treadmills form the maker, so they didn’t have one to send to me… and I remember thinking; THANK GOD! They gave me my money back.

Finally last week, My mother, who knew about this, sent me an add from market place from someone who wanted to sell his. I went to see it. It was heavy duty (perfect for me ) and the seller agreed to deliver it to me. And I paid only half what I had just got back from Amazon. And so… since last Thursday I am the happy owner of a massive treadmills sitting right here, next to my computer, so I can watch a show while exercising and I am so happy this ordeal is over!

I love to take walks outside, and hopefully, tanks to this, I might get back on my feet before the summer.

I also, FINALLY, got news from my surgeon about my bariatric surgery. It is still about a year away (covid has slow things down quite a bit) but it felt good to finally confirmed with them that I was scheduled to get it. It took 3 years to get here. Hopefully, in a year or a year and a half, I might be able to dance again.

I LOVE socializes medicine and understands why this kind of case isn’t a priority right now, but I got to admit, that was a LONG wait.

That is it for me.
I’ll be working on page 11 in a moment.
See you guys soon!
