Injury Update!

Added 2023-10-21 14:31:06 +0000 UTC

Hey, guys! So today is the first day in over 3 weeks that I've successfully managed to do some actual work at my desk. But first, let me give you guys a quick tl;dr of what's been happening since my accident:

1) Neurologist confirmed it's a herniated disc in the C6-C7 vertebrae in my neck. Potential surgery in a few weeks. Potential paralysis if it does not heal properly.

2) Pain of the 1,000 suns. On pain medicine 24/7.

3) Started physical therapy. My therapist gave me the green light to do low weight/high rep workouts that don't involve me pushing anything above my head. THIS IS MASSIVE because I've been out of the gym for nearly a month and it's been driving me crazy. But...

4) The physical therapy and workouts are hard. I've lost a lot of strength and feeling in my right arm including my fingers. It's like my right arm started a New Game+ and it's back at LVL 1 on Extreme Difficulty, LOL. 😥

5) I received the cortisone steroid shot in my neck. It hurt like a bitch. Since then, the pain has not subsided but the intensity has gone down slightly. Instead of waking up at a Kill Me Immediately 10 I'm not more at a Respectfully Cut Off My Arm 7 which is progress.

And that's it.

I am going to attempt to start working and making content both here and on my main channel starting this week. Otherwise, I will go broke, LOL. I've lost so many sponsored slots and revenue by not uploading. Downside to YouTube being your main gig is if you get injured you're SOL. Is what it is.

AND FINALLY. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO CAME HERE AND SIGNED UP AND SUPPORTED ME. YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU SUPPORTING ME. It's been very scary dealing with the fact that the future of my health and my ability to work is unknown. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me here.

I'll keep you guys posted on my health recovery journey. Love you guys.
