I haven't posted (my own) health update in a while: The latest treatment has failed :( I knew right away because I nearly spat my lungs out as soon as I finished the last course of meds. Same lab test results as always, I only did the test so I could show it to my mom because she didn't believe me

Very exhausting day, but not necessarily a bad one. Grandma had another burst of energy that lasted a couple of hours. It was nice to see her smile time after time! She's asleep now. Less screaming and more mumbling this evening. I hope we can get supplemental oxygen for her tomorrow

Gosh, my grandma is deteriorating fast :( She had a good day yesterday, but today she was struggling to form and understand basic sentences. I also think she's going to be completely bedbound from now on. Taking just a couple of steps is too painful and exhausting for her

I hate John Kricfalusi's art so fkin much. Whenever I see someone who has close style proximity or draws fanart of his characters, I instantly click away (I generally don't like to yuck on anyone's yum but holy smokes is Ren & Stimpy revolting! I'm glad it never aired in Poland)

Dang I miss my dad. When he was sober and in a good mood (rare combination but it happened sometimes), we were very much in tune. He could be laid-back and goofy, he came up with some of the funniest words & nicknames I've ever heard. He liked the same brand of light-hearted teasing that I enjoy

Okay, something out of left field: I once had 1 follower who was horny for admiral. To my own surprise I found their comments very flattering & fun. Adm. is fat, weird and conventionally ugly, so if you find him hot I got nothing but respect for you. And I won't stand in your way, go get him tiger

I suddenly feel comfortable sharing my sketches publicly again, something I haven't been able to do for a very long time. Das good. I'm not here to impress anyone. Just to have some grand old time!

I think today was the first time I saw a mosquito this year. To say they were ubiquitous several years ago would be an understatement - they swarmed you the moment you stepped outside. Drank bug spray like it was nothing. Now they kind of feel like an anomaly Slapped that bitch anyway

I feel obliged to repost this here 'cos it's one of my favourite screencaps from the whole series, haha Season 1 didn't shy away from dark and deranged sense of humour & I love it to bits. Wish they didn't tone it down in later seasons!

Update on mom's cancer: her biopsy & CAT scan are complete and things aren't looking terrible at the moment. The cancer itself is advanced and has been growing undetected for about 2 years, but is limited to just one of her breasts and a couple of nearby lymph nodes. No distant metastases!

In a rare case of openness I'm going to say that one of the biggest mistakes I made during my first term on Bsky was making a conscious effort to be appealing to a more general audience. I'm not doing that anymore, no more cutesy crap or pretending to be normal I like my weird niches, man ✨💫

Posting this GIF instantly lost me one of my recent followers, hahaha No hard feelings, to be frank it's good people are bailing out so early on! It's the revival of bluesman and bluesman has always been a bit unhinged, I'm less willing to hide it this time - gonna draw & share whatever comes up!

I survived the latest heatwave. Just barely, holy smokes I don't want to stay in grandma's house longer than it's necessary, but once I move to a different place, A/C will probably be one of my first investments. Polish summers are becoming way too savage for me

On a lighter note, last Saturday marks the first time I got drunk in my life - completely by accident, though! My whole body was on fire when I came back from work, so I demolished a 0,5l can of beer in one go. I was convinced it was alcohol-free. Then the reality hit like a sack of bricks, haha

By golly the weather is getting brutal again! I woke up from a nap feeling like I was boiling inside & it's only gonna get hotter. The forecast says the temperature is going to climb up to 38°C, but realistically it'll reach 40°C. The worst I've ever experienced in Poland

I started my new treatment yesterday & I feel cautiously optimistic about this one. It's going to last a little over 7 weeks, this time I'm on imported medicine (from France) as well as some supplements that work in synergy. The regime is somewhat strict, but doable!

Apologies for being such a downer here lately! I'm actually feeling pretty good at the moment - as long as I completely avoid any sugar, white flour and milk products, the symptoms are quite manageable. And I'm looking forward to starting a new treatment!

People are complimenting me on my weight loss, but the reality is that I'm only losing weight because I'm sick, everything I have inside is rebelling against me and more often than not eating food makes me suffer

I can't seem to be able to bring any good news lately: one of my neighbours passed away today. Cancer complications 💔 I'm going to miss him a lot, he was such a kind, sweet man and a very competent doctor too. Never without a smile on his face

Also - benzimidazoles don't do shit for me, man :( I tried albendazole, mebendazole & fenbendazole, none of them work. I still have hope in ivermectin, but right now I only have access to veterinary one and I'm scared of using it. How on earth are you supposed to get rid of these bastards

Sorry for the silence on both accounts, the weight of the world has been crushing me lately. Mom's cancer diagnosis, the harrowing heatwave in Europe, my own health taking yet another turn for the worse. I find joy in little things, but the big bad things keep looming overhead

As for my infection - I'm finally seeing some improvements. The skin rash I've had for months has faded a little for the first time & my throat doesn't itch so bad anymore. I'm currently waiting for another medicine to try, fingers crossed this one finishes the job

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer on Monday... I'm still trying to process that information We have yet to find out what type of cancer it is and how far it has spread, but we know it already affected the nearby lymph nodes. Mom says her legs hurt, so it might have spread to her bones already

This is quite interesting: I consider myself a hardcore introvert & I absolutely thrive in solitude, yet I don't have an issue chatting with strangers or calling them. Heck, I can handle bigger groups of tourists too. Just never try to drag me to a party or a convention because I ain't going, haha

I had to work on Saturday and Sunday & I'm ungodly tired, but it's been a nice week at work. The boss barely showed up, we saw a surprising influx of tourists from abroad. One person from the US, another from Canada. I had lots to talk about with both of them, fun times!
