And So the Time Has Come · 3:24am Jun 13th, 2018
Again, probably abusing the story tag function, but this is something you DaD readers do need to know.
I'll spare you the details that led to this, but I was admitted to the hospital. Again. Starting on the 7th. And it looks like this is the Big Stay this time. I'm in the Cardiac ICU on four different medication drips and have a catheter in my neck. I will hopefully officially be on the heart transplant list on Friday (because I learned that apparently I wasn't before... WTF), but given the state I'm in right now it will hopefully put me in the highest section of the priority list.
Why am I tagging DaD? Well, before the events that led to today happened, I thought I was going to just be sitting in a room, hooked up to maybe a line or two with an EKG (y'know, the annoying little stickers they put on your chest), and have enough energy to easily keep writing the story.
That's not the case.
I'm not saying I won't be writing, but so far I've had only one day where I really had the energy and inspiration to write. Basically I won't be able to power through a lot of DaD like I thought I would. I'm gonna do what I can, but I likely won't have that powerful drive that I get when I really get inspired. I'll probably be asleep instead. Because aside from the obvious, hospital hours and the beds provided suuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Alright, I think that's enough.
TL;DR: Being in the hospital is going to slow down my writing pace.
I'm going to try to get what I can done. Believe me, I'm really excited to show you the next section(s) that I'm working on, but I need to have enough ready and edited.
Until next time, folks. Cross your fingers that I get a new heart sooner rather than later.

Wow
I wish you luck and hope things work out. I dunno if I can speak for everyone but I'll be here, patiently watching and waiting so don't worry about rushing things.
Oh, my! I knew you said it would happen, but I didn't think so soon!
Please, take your time and rest all you can . You know that I'm already wishing you the very best of luck! If there is anything you need or anything I might can, just ask. Sincerely, I mean it.
Just take your time and recover well, my friend.

You should focus on your medical needs. Don’t stress about writing while you’re having these issues. Hopefully things work out and you can get better quickly.
I'll try to remember you in my prayers.
Holy geez! O_O
I can fully understand the need to write, to do something to keep the mind going while waiting on such a serious procedure. But pleasepleaseplease don't overdo things. Focus on you and your health first. We all want you back happy and healthy! :)
*sends good thoughts*
*whimpers* Don't die, friend...
Oh geeze...
Here's hoping and praying everything works out for you.
Damn, best of luck with all of that. I hope you get a new heart soon!
Take all the time you need. ‘Sides, your health’s more important.
That sucks man. I hope things go well for you.
Hey,
I met you at EFNW, and I know that it's probably er, not helpful, but I'm hoping things go well for you and that the transplant list moves quickly for you. You were awesome, and I'm pretty sure your readers more than understand with what's going on. I'm fairly certain they'd rather see you focus on keeping your strength up than stressing about writing.
Best to get the hospital stuff out of the way and off your chest first, before moving onto the things you want to do. It'll give you more freedom and put less pressure on you.
Good luck I know about them long stays and yes those hospital beds suck ass ask for plenty of pillows lmfao
Damnit, Dashy. I specifically forbid you from getting sick again. Don't make me bake you a get-well cheesecake... you won't survive that
Dude that's rough. I hope everything goes alright and I wish you the best. And as always, your health always comes first.
I feel awkward not being able to say anything different from what others have, but I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Recover smoothly and comfortably.
Oh man, so sorry to hear your in the hospital. Totally understand not having the energy to write. Take care of yourself and we’ll keep you in our thoughts. Let us know if you need anything.
Wishing you all the best!
Yikes, I’m sorry it’s come to this. Take care of yourself, and don’t worry about us; we’ll still be here whenever you’re ready, sending good thoughts and well wishes
