First of all, not dead, not yet at least.

Some days ago I got sick, as many of you already know. One day, suddenly I went to the toilet and peed blood, which as per common sense, scared the crap out of me. Some hours later, I started to feel escalating pain in the lower right side of my back, to the point I could barely remain standing. I was literally rolling on the floor (not laughing) in pain. So I went to the hospital and got diagnosed with kidney stones, a crystal variant, not the rounded calcium ones. These stones (crystals) break apart and move down until you pee them.

It hurts, it hurts like nothing else. I honestly thought I was dying.

Anyway, I was in the hospital for a couple days, then, when I came home I decided to translate a couple chapters, fresh out of the hospital. That was a mistake, I was supposed to rest for a week or so and return if blood appeared again. After the last two chapters I tl’d, the next day I started to feel bad again.

I believed it was because of the infection so I decided to just rest, but after two days I still kept feeling like shit, so I decided to go see the doctor again. I was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis, the doctor told me that since my immune system was overworking due to the blood in pee thing, I was susceptible to diseases and that was the reason I needed to rest, but I didn’t.

After that, I went to Discord to tell everyone there the news and after reading comments I decided to take their word and take proper rest.

Today was the last day of the medication, I feel healthy again (yay).

I’ll go back to translating in the next days. As you all know, I’m getting things ready to re-open the family business, but that stupid sickness delayed everything, I was supposed to open the store a few days ago but, well… I need to finish everything here and it will take a few more days, today I’ve been working since I woke up and I’m still here (12:48 past midnight), and i’ll probably still be working for a couple more hours.

I’m not dead, and I’m not dropping out of TLing, but I need to open the store before I can go back to translating again, so please, be a little patient. I’m sure very few people will still read me after I didn’t post anything for nearly two weeks, but for everyone still around, you have my thanks for understanding.
