    Another MRI is clear!

    Had my MRI done last Wednesday, and this Wednesday my radiologist and oncologist both confirmed that there was no visual signs of any tumor regrowth, to go along with my continuing to not have any of the symptoms I was experiencing prior to my July surgery last year! Still going well! I'll be getting a new shipment of Temodar pills this Friday, and will starting the fourth five day course

    Shingles, yay!

    So apparently the Chicken Pox virus that has been idle in my body ever since my early childhood caught sight of all the cancer therapy I've been doing and went "would be a shame if someone took advantage of a slight downturn in your immune system," and then I break out in Shingles on the right side of my head at age 37. They usually only START worrying about that at age 50+! What a blessed start

    AM CYBORG NAO

    Nah it's actually not as cool as that. I'm STILL alive, last MRI was clear, still no tumor related symptoms, and I've begun my second round of chemo wherein I take double or triple doses for 5 days in a row once a month for six months. The "LOLCYBORG" bit comes from a little device called Optune, which generates a Tumor Treating Field through basically all of my brain as long as it's attached and

    HAHA NO BIG DEAL

    Holy shit I got back from my post surgery checkup appointment with the surgeon.

    Surgeon: "You were pretty out of it."
    Me: "Yeah I don't remember much two days before the surgery, I figure I must've been on some good medications at the time."
    Surgeon: "Uh no, actually you were on death's door and your brain just stopped working basically."
    Me: "...OH."

Good things :) · 1:30am May 15th, 2021

Weight loss continues, had to put another knot on the drawstring of my sweatpants! Grandpa is back to being as independent as before so now I just have to check in once a day to see if he needs anything done. Mom is also losing weight, and after finding out she's got some blood sugar issues she's changed a lot of her diet and has it back under control. Hopefully this means in the future I'll be able to write and get a job without worrying about them so much, just like things used to be when I was writing what I have of Reunion so far!

Also the way I organize my writing is a mess. I think it's about time I shift over to using something like Google docs so I can share it out as needed without having to worry about file types and all that jazz. Bonus would be automatic backups so I don't repeat that one incident where I lost 2,000+ words of work on Reunion because of a BSOD on my old laptop... actually that's two computers back, so it's my old, OLD laptop.

Ironic that it still works while the laptop that replaced it just died out of nowhere one day.

I think I'll start using design documents going forward too, but I'll keep those local. I've been writing solely from memory for the entirety of Reunion so far and one ends up forgetting a few things they hinted at tens of thousands of words ago. It won't be an outline so much as a list of characters, locations, items, and events I can reference when needed. Hopefully that doesn't spiral into spending so much time world building that I forget to write the story.

Anyway just wanted to fire out another update and share my increasingly positive mood as of late. See you later!
