An apology (Patreon)

Hi everyone, I'm back. I've been away because I've been extremely sick. I was hospitalized for almost two weeks and had surgery. Recovery has been incredibly difficult, especially without any family around. As you know, my mom lives in the US, and with the current situation there, she wasn’t able to travel. Thankfully, my boyfriend (who’s also in med school) took care of me. I was discharged on Sunday.

I won’t go into details, but my health was compromised after being in contact with a patient. As most of you know, I’m a medical student and do clinical rotations. It all started with a fever, vomiting, and weight loss, which I initially justified due to other issues and the stress of everything happening around me. I took some medication and ignored the symptoms—until things took a turn for the worse. On top of everything, I had to justify my absence from med school, which was a whole ordeal in itself. Having to prove how sick I was, dealing with paperwork, and making sure I didn’t fall behind only added to the stress of recovery.

I’m so, so sorry for being away for so long. I truly hated disappearing like that, but I physically and mentally wasn’t in a place where I could do anything. I appreciate your patience more than I can express. I’ll do my best to catch up, and I’ve been writing every chance I get, so I have quite a few fanfic chapters lined up for you. Thank you all so much for your support—it means everything to me. 💖
