Hey everyone, just wanted to check in and let you know how I'm doing. I don't want to post gruesome details here, but suffice to say, I spoke to my surgeon's office today and, phew, I was proper sick as it turns out. But they say my recovery is perfectly on track... Except that I misunderstood my discharge notes, and the level of activity I was about to return to could have burst some stitches. Whoops. Basically, I'm still laid up until January. I know I don't need to give excuses, I just wanted to let you all know - I'm still here, doing fine so far, but there definitely won't be any new material until the new year.Thank you for supporting me even while I can't work. Knowing that you'll be here even if I'm not producing for a bit is the only reason I have not been panicking over my condition, and I wish that everyone had this luxury. I hope you all enjoy your Christmas and New Year's, if you observe, and in any case thank you all again for being such decent people.

Wishing you a well and quick recovery and hope you feel better as early as holidays

Generally heard that doctors are fans of the stitches staying IN the dude. (cathode ray variety) Rest up!

Lyra

Hope the recovery goes well and you enjoy the holidays yourself! <3

Take it easy and enjoy your time off!

Please don't push yourself, take as much time as you need. Wishing you a good recovery

Gecko089

Just concentrate on getting well, that's the priority. I hope this didn't completely bankrupt you, I heard scary things about US hospital bills!

zephyrmo

Take your time man, your health is more important than videos :)

Danny

Not a problem. Just get well, enjoy the holidays and come back whenever you feel ready.

Ah Man, sucks that you'll still be laid up over Christmas. I hope you're able to at least have some meaningful time with loved ones. Happy Christmas to you (if you observe) and I wish you a speedy and full recovery for the new year. Thanks for updating us.

Xaviette Katzenfrau

proper sick means proper recovery! Take your time. besides this means we get even more Posting over on cohost since you have a lot of Not Working to do

Cai Tastrophe

"Thank you for supporting me even while I can't work." seems like the most important time *to* support you, no? especially this potentially-expensive time of year! does patreon let patrons do one-off payments, outside of the standard monthly structure?

Pebble

Hope u feel better my dude xoxo

Thomas Pickett

Just get healthy, focus on positive thoughts and stop negatively ones. Keep Creating!

David Zerrenner

Nice to hear that you are getting better, thanks for the update. Don't rush, take your time to get fully recovered! Have a calm and relaxing Christmas and New Year! I feel you, i had quite a bit of a surgery myself a few years ago.

Chris Jeter

Glad you are recovering! Take your time and we’ll be here when you’re ready. Your videos have a great rewatchability factor so I’m perfectly content to watch some older vids in the interim. As always, reach out if you need help!

Richard Thompson

Sounds like progress and you were able to take care of it before it became a really big problem. Please take your time, we'll be here...

E.J. Bevenour

Keep it up!!!! And make sure you recover. I will enjoy rewatching the back catalogue. It doesn’t get old.

Marsu

Thank you for keeping us posted! Happy holidays and take care and all that 😊

Corben Grant

Hope you get well soon and have a happy Christmas!

LGR

Just glad to hear you're on the path towards a good recovery man, it's genuinely good news 👍

iamdarkyoshi

Get well soon buddy, glad to hear you're doing better now, and have a wonderful holiday and new year!

Jonathan Ricketts

yeah man, no one is going anywhere, hang in and get yourself well.

Penny Unwise

If you need the time to recuperate, you need the time! Did they have to do a more invasive procedure than an average laparascopic appendectomy? Everyone heals at different rates from anything like that. Take care of yourself!

Tim Moule

Have yourself a well deserved break and we'll all catch you in 2024 when you're feeling better. Take care, man!

jcx

I wish you a speedy recovery! From experience even when you're back to (somewhat) normal, don't try and go at 110%. Try to take it easy for a bit - which is a lot less easy than it sounds when you're itching to be "achieving" things. Give yourself the time. Many best wishes and look forward to seeing you back at it when *you* feel ready. :) <3

Thanks for update. Take care of yourself! Take as much time as you need. The patrons are here to support you! ❤️ from a hot 44C / 111F Sydney, Australia

Understand that dying would make some of us reconsider our subscriptions.

Totoro

Hi. Take your time. I know how frustrating it is to be laid-up but your health takes priority. We'll be here. Gute Besserung!

Andrew Montagne

Rest up, Gravis! Have a wonderful Christmas and we'll see you next year!

Zorin

You've got my support for as long as it takes, Gravis. I hope you feel better soon and recover completely. <3

Asriel Yuill

Always, sib. Get your sleep on.

Joel Crane

Rest up, and please please please don't worry about posting videos for our sake!

June!

Rest up, I hope 2024 brings some good content and hope you feel better soon!

J H

The update is appreciated! Looking forward to your next vid when you're ready. I hope you've got some small, portable, easily manipulated tech in your backlog that you can ease into things with.. ;)

Justin M

Love your content - worth the wait! Get well soon!

Kerne

Good luck and focus on getting better. It's taken me 44 years to figure out "what I do here" and this has been the best time of my life.

Mistah MegaManFan

I just watched your latest video and decided it was finally time to pitch in. Sorry I can’t do a higher tier right now but I hope you know I appreciate what you do AND what you stand for. 🏳️‍🌈 Heal up and keep on doing good things!

Tyler

Thanks for letting us know what’s going on. More than happy to pitch in.

zxspectrum

Hey! I'm subbed and saw your latest vid and wanted to extend some support. Get back to full power soon!!

Mirage

Just got a new job so happy to be able to jump back in and offer my support. =) I had my gallbladder taken out in 2011 and I remember vividly how rough recovery can be from even the most routine of procedures. All the best! Happy holidays.

knox

Saw your recent video and created a patreon account to show my support, small as it may be. You're one of my favorite creators. Get well soon!

Fyshtako

Saw the vid today and decided to give a small amount at least - take it easy and happy holidays!

Philippe

Hope you recover at a good rate. I had my gall bladder removed this year. It was nice and clean laparoscopic surgery and they kicked me out on the third day from the hospital. However, I was ‘disabled’ for at least 3 weeks and I do remember the 1st week “experience.” After that I needed to be gentle with lifting stuff for a few months, but generally life gets back to normal. It’s really good you didn’t have a puncture. That is a complicated condition. I have a friend who had appendicitides for years (up and down), misdiagnosed and never got the surgery. He almost died when the thing punctured and only then he was hospitalized. He’s well now as well. And don’t believe all these action movies where the hero runs around with a gunshot in the abdomen :)

Clamuel Slemons

Holy crap, dude! Life comes at you fast and hard. I *very nearly* stopped watching your videos after the scanning mouse one, where you said PDAs were a load of crap (they've always been one of my passions and I've amassed a collection)...but dangit, I love your videos and details, how you present your topics, and just everything about you and your vibe! I'm glad you posted the video, and I'm happy to support one of my favorite creators.

Simon Mikkelsen

Thanks for the update. Please get well and things sorted out before you start up again. I upgraded my Patreon tear until you are up and running again. When everything is well up and running again I will probably downgrade as it is a lot more than I can afford to give to each creator. But until then, please get well.

Frédérique Merizen

America, a land of contrasts, of the land of the free and student loans, the land of billionaires and medical debt... Hold on tight buddy.

Jonathan Müller-Boruttau

Since someone I was supporting (which I thoroughly regret now) turned out to be a general huge asshole (there's a short hbomberguy video on it...), I was looking for new people that are worth supporting anyway. Always enjoyed your videos (and the occasional progress flag VHS) so very glad to help out no matter if you are currently able to put out more or less videos. All the best for your health and have as good of a rest of the year as possible :)

Thomas Fuchs

Just joined, stop lifting fingers and especially stop lifting giant 90s video cameras. Hope you’ll feel back to your old self soon! ❤️

John Kiniston

Joining because I want to support you continuing to make the content that interests you. You make cool stuff.

Josh Wells

Just joined to throw money at you for all the great YouTube videos. I think you're too critical of yourself: when I see a notification for a new CRD video, I know it's gonna be a good day Get yourself better, then get back to doing the things you're passionate about (when you're ready! Take your time!)

Joy Merten

I didn't even finish watching your update video before signing up for your Patreon. Please take time to rest and recover!

Kevin Fitzmorris

I’m a simple man. CRD says he needs support, I become a patron. Your storytelling and subject matter scratch an itch no one else seems to be aware of.
