I'm on the Mend and TRW will Post Tomorrow (Patreon)

I'm pleased to announce that I was able to get the eye drops I needed and am now feeling a thousand times better. I hate for TRW to run late a day, especially because my travel visa is up this month and I'm getting booted back to America on the 29th. I was hoping to save THAT week for a possible late post. But I'll just try to get ahead of schedule before I make the trip.

That's all the important stuff but I'll share some details about my ordeal if you're interested. I had to spend the day in a British Emergency room. I have no health insurance in this country. (My traveler's insurance had just expired at the end of June, LOLZ.) I ended up having to to see a nurse practitioner and two specialists during my visit and when all was said and done, the whole thing didn't cost a dime. I paid ten pounds for eye drops at the pharmacy and that was it. As an American that just blows my mind. I feel like the natural order of the world as I understand won't be restored until somebody sends me a bill for at least ten thousand dollars, damn it!

Anyhow what I had is called Iritis and it basically means your iris has decided that it's sick of your shit for a couple of agonizing weeks if not properly treated. Not caused by eyestrain, much to my surprise. I had naturally assumed that my penchant for staring at screens during my every waking moment was a factor but nope, I'm just an unlucky son of a bitch and this can happen to anyone. But now I've got drops that clear it right up, so with any luck this will be the last time I miss work over this particular curse.

That's all for now! Thanks for waiting and I'll see you tomorrow with the next page of the comic!
