Status update

First of all, not dead, not yet at least.

Some days ago I got sick, as many of you already know. One day, suddenly I went to the toilet and peed blood, which as per common sense, scared the crap out of me. Some hours later, I started to feel escalating pain in the lower right side of my back, to the point I could barely remain standing. I was literally rolling on the floor (not laughing) in pain. So I went to the hospital and got diagnosed with kidney stones, a crystal variant, not the rounded calcium ones. These stones (crystals) break apart and move down until you pee them.

It hurts, it hurts like nothing else. I honestly thought I was dying.

Anyway, I was in the hospital for a couple days, then, when I came home I decided to translate a couple chapters, fresh out of the hospital. That was a mistake, I was supposed to rest for a week or so and return if blood appeared again. After the last two chapters I tl’d, the next day I started to feel bad again.

I believed it was because of the infection so I decided to just rest, but after two days I still kept feeling like shit, so I decided to go see the doctor again. I was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis, the doctor told me that since my immune system was overworking due to the blood in pee thing, I was susceptible to diseases and that was the reason I needed to rest, but I didn’t.

After that, I went to Discord to tell everyone there the news and after reading comments I decided to take their word and take proper rest.

Today was the last day of the medication, I feel healthy again (yay).

I’ll go back to translating in the next days. As you all know, I’m getting things ready to re-open the family business, but that stupid sickness delayed everything, I was supposed to open the store a few days ago but, well… I need to finish everything here and it will take a few more days, today I’ve been working since I woke up and I’m still here (12:48 past midnight), and i’ll probably still be working for a couple more hours.

I’m not dead, and I’m not dropping out of TLing, but I need to open the store before I can go back to translating again, so please, be a little patient. I’m sure very few people will still read me after I didn’t post anything for nearly two weeks, but for everyone still around, you have my thanks for understanding.

  2. Yikes, glad to hear things are looking better now. Take it easy, we only have one of you :p.
    About the updates, I, for one, saw the ‘very sick’ tag on the right and figured you hadn’t simply stopped. I’m sure more reached the same conclusion.

  10. Tale care not to overwork yourself even if you feel healthy again. Take it slowly. Also please follow the doctors advice about changing your diet to prevent kidney stones.
    I will be waiting here for you to release again.
    Until then Seki. and keep taking good rests in between work.

  12. Here is my two cents: Drink enough water to ensure oversaturation doesn’t happen (again).

    A helpfull tip to do this is just putting a large jug full of water on your desk/workspace.
    If you can reach it withouth standing up, it will be easy to drink a lot and you only have to refill the jug once in a long while.
    Be carfull with electronics though ^^.

    And lastly, just ensure your own life/health is back on track before coming back to us.

  14. Thanks for the update. It means more than you think. Good luck with your store, and health. Luck is fickle though.. Drinking a lot of water is a realistic method for getting better, especially in your case. I would also suggest breathing excercises. (Just relax as much as possible and breathe deeply for a few minutes).

  19. I think you may already know that we are always checking your site at least once a day just to see if there is any update (just a status update is good news to me) and that may make you think that we are impatient but trust me, as much as I want you to update your chapters as soon as possible. Please, put yourself as the first priority especially your health. Because it is such a waste of talent if we force it only to regret it latter. Also, that sound so scary. I hope you get better soon.

  23. Great to hear you’re feeling better! Take your time and sort out your store, we’ll be here when you’re ready to get back in action. Most of us (if not all) came to you after waiting a whole lot more for Rox, while being completely in the dark. Knowing that you’re not well (and also not dead) is all we needed to know 😀 Looking forward to reading the next chapter when you’re ready! Don’t push yourself though, you don’t want to have a relapse by getting overenthusiastic after thinking you’re all over it 😛

  24. I suggest you drink tea or ice tea both have anti oxidants prevent build up of calcium in you kidney which leads to having kidney stones. if you drink water that works too but i noticed a lot of ppl hate drinking water you can drink mineral or vitamin water if that is better for you.

  32. I’m glad I finally thought about clicking “home” on your wordpress instead of checking if you’d released anything new on Novel Updates like I do every other day.
    I dumbly though you had some kind of flu or something since I read that you were sick in the RtW comments, but now I know why it takes so long for you to get back to translating. I see you’re back on your feet. But don’t get lazy on resting just to feed us some witches, immunodeficiency is no joke.
    Hope your store openning went well, BTW

Glad to know your feeling better, I was worried you got whacked by some jealous translating people or something… Also, I’m slightly curious, but do you happen to know the reason the crystals formed? It sounds painful and if anyone knows the cause I would like to know to avoid it. Hope you get and feel even better then you normally feel to make up for the suffering.

    1. I’m no expert on this but drinking at least 2 litres of liquids each day should be a good measure to prevent it.
      If the kidneys flush out the bad stuff regularly it shouldn’t get a chance to collect and condense into painful clumps.
