Hey,
Just kind of wanted to touch base with everyone a little bit.
Some know some don't, but for the past 2 and a half years possibly 3 I've been dealing with some serious Liver issues and was Diagnosed with a progressive autoimmune disease called PSC along with bunch of other boring stuff. Basically, the only known cure is transplant, but it's a slog until then because your numbers have to increase to the point where you even qualify to be approved to be pre-approved, so it just means you wait around waiting to get sicker.
The good news is that As of today I'm listed, and really looking forward to moving on to the next phase of my life. I've been updating Curtis mostly all the way lol, and been cutting back on all but the few leagues that feel important to me (shut up, I like this league and everyone in it) but I've always been a relatively private person, I'm paranoid about being an attention seeker unless I have positive news, but I felt for a number of reasons that I should probably say something before things get going. As I said my spirits are high, and during this whole ordeal I was never down in the sense that I questioned what the point even was I just focused on taking the next steps.
I'm not gonna lie though I've felt ancient and exhausted for 3 years. I'm a person that is naturally prone to worry about how I'm coming off on interactions, I'm naturally sarcastic and I'm probably too paranoid about offending people with the tone, but it's always something I struggled with. During the last 3 years it feels even harder sometimes to not come off short in interactions, and a big part of that mini-meltdown I had at the trade deadline bled through and a lot of that frustration was wound up in all the Illness stuff.
So I do want to explain any kind of shortness or snippyness that I might have been displaying was never any specific grievance with any of you it was just with "things" and this also affected my activity level to a point that wasn't fair to the league. Anyway, I guess that's it, hope that didn't come off too heavy, trust me on my end it's the best news I've had in 3 years and heres looking to finally be able to go to a Reds game as the first thing I do (Damn Covid), well there's always Ribs.
Thanks you guys have meant a lot even by means of a little distraction.
