Before I start I would just like to say a big thank you to whoever has done this and it has to be one of you guys and I just don't know who.
So as you may have noticed I've been more than a little quiet around here of late. I've been dealing with a lot of stuff both physically and mentally and struggling to come to terms with what's been going on. A long story very very short I've been told that there is nothing currently they can do for me medically long term. This means I will probably never be able to return to work or lead a 'normal' life. Just typing that has me tears again, somehow making it feel more real. Short term there is the option of having a nerve block, this is an injection in the spine around the affected area that will numb the nerve but the more of them I have the less effective they become and shorter they last.
To be honest I feel completely lost as to what to do with my life, but this isn't why I'm here today.
So this morning I woke up and checked my emails as normal, just making sure there is nothing that needed my attention urgently and i was greeted with this :
Ok I thought, and I followed the link ( after checking for phishing ) and I was dumped to Ko-fi page, i was expecting to see that someone had given me the default £3 nope.
They had donated £103
I sat there for a moment wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Nope £103.
To say I am shocked at this is an understatement.
Now I set up My Ko-fi page for youtube/twitch but never published the link there because lately, I just haven't been in the frame of mind to have made any videos/streams and the only place I have a link to my page is in my signature here, which I added more for symmetry of the signature than the hope of anyone actually using it.
This really couldn't have come at a better time. Not for me but for my guinea pig Max. Recently we noticed he was dragging his back legs around the cage rather than actually using them to walk. It turns out that he has managed to injure his back leg so its easier for him to drag both of his legs around rather than try and walk on 3 legs, he has been given painkillers for the next couple of months while it heals up and is also being given daily extra vitamin C and calcium. But while we were at the vets he did a full check up on him and found that his back teeth had grown over the back of his mouth ( ill spare you the pictures of what this looks like ) but that would eventually stop him from eating. This means that they will need have a small operation to have the teeth clipped back and filed down, this has its risks he's a small animal and they dont do with sedatives and anesthetics, but it's better to take the risk now while his is still strong and still eating than to wait till he's stopped and is a lot weaker. He was booked in regardless for the operation for tuesday It was going to have been a huge financial struggle to find the money to pay for it but now it's been taken care of.
There just aren't the words to say how thankful I am to whichever one of you donated that money. It really does mean a lot. I really would like to thank whichever one of you it was properly. If you don't want to come forward publicly please PM me because I really would like to thank you personally.
