Weekly report 142
Added 2023-01-27 23:22:40 +0000 UTCHi, everybody.
We couldn't do much work last week because of my health situation, and I'm going to explain the whole thing, but I must preface it with an apology because I feel like these weekly reports --which are meant to summarize our work-- have turned into my weekly health reports, but since you support us to work on the development of the game, I feel like we owe you an explanation as to why we couldn't do our job.
I had an accident many years ago that caused the neck of my femur to be broken. When that happened, I was holidaying in an island far from hospitals, and when they finally treated me, it was way too late. I was told then that I would, in time, develop avascular necrosis, which I did. That was many years ago, and over time my mobility got worse and worse. I was told I should do hip replacement surgery (despite my age) since that would allow me to live without pain and have normal mobility, but that I should wait as long as I can. I waited, but the birth of our child gave me a sense of urgency to get better before she could start to walk so that I could play with her. Anyway, that's the surgery that went wrong; it went wrong because, unbeknownst to my surgeon or myself, the necrotic bone had developed osteoporosis, and they fixed the prosthetic femur to the weak bone. So, during the week I was home, it kept cracking (I went to the emergency room once, but apparently regular x-rays didn't show it) until on Sunday, there was a bad muscle spasm, and the prosthetic leg came off of the hip because of the bone breaking. I went by ambulance to the hospital, and they still didn't know what the cause was. They said it was just dislocation, and they tried to put the broken bone in place by moving it, making it worse in the process. Anyway, in short, when they finally opened me up again, they saw the damage and fixed it, keeping me in the hospital until today.
Right now, I'm back home, feeling better, and even though I have to rest for six weeks, I can, fortunately, work from bed.
During this whole period, Chestnut was trying to manage our kids while supporting me, so she couldn't do any work either.
Hopefully, next week we will summarize the stuff we've worked on and get back to our routine (with some adjustments).
That's all, and have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers

2023-02-02 20:16:23 +0000 UTCHey. I just subbed after playing the game and loving it. My favourite is Lady Goldbush but all the girls are hot. I made an avatar and clicked on the "more info" link in relation to sending it and having it included in the next release but it just took me to the main Patreon page (here). So where do I send it?

2023-01-29 14:34:18 +0000 UTCWow - so glad they have it figured out before they crippled you for life! Mobility with the little ones, and eventually their littles is something to live for!

2023-01-28 16:09:01 +0000 UTCDon't be worrying about the game for a bit. We're almost all old and ugly enough to distract ourselves with other things while directing our sympathies, and best wishes your way. You work too hard for a fully fit person anyway. Don't rush things. Seriously - don't even think about it. Shoo!

2023-01-28 15:08:19 +0000 UTCI had an accident 5 years ago and they discovered I had bone density issues...so the accident caused microfractures in my t10-t11. I too was told to wait as long as possible. So far, I am ok...but I fear for everything when there is ice on the ground. Get better....enjoy those kids. Building off the Grid is a fun binge watch on Netflix.

2023-01-28 11:56:18 +0000 UTCI do manual labor for work, I can easily imagine the frustration of such an injury. Do take your rest! We are called supporters for a reason!

2023-01-28 09:07:30 +0000 UTCSorry to hear this, that's a horrible collection of bad luck, a total nightmare. You have shown a lot of courage to go through. Let's hope that this sequence is now finished and that you can recover ! Dont worry about the game progress, this is secondary. Take care of your health and your family !

2023-01-28 08:17:47 +0000 UTCGet well soon! Take as much time as you need to get better
Lisandro Gil
2023-01-28 08:00:42 +0000 UTCGlad you're through that gauntlet of misfortune, and I'm thrilled that you don't live in the US, I can't imagine what the medical bill for all that would be. Take all the time you need, rest well, your ability to play with your children is far more important than getting back to work as fast as possible.
2023-01-28 07:08:31 +0000 UTCI greatly appreciate your work and the dedication, but please take the time to take care of yourselves. I can only speak for myself, but my support isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

2023-01-28 00:44:51 +0000 UTCHoly shit dude! That is way gnarlier than I imagined. You guys please just take care of yourself and your kids. Your game is awesome and honestly none of us want to wait for an update (I say this as a compliment only not as a statement of pressure!) but your family and your health comes first. Think good thoughts and work as much as gives you feelings of happiness and purpose while you heal. Do you have family around that can help watch the kids? I hope you guys have a good support network. Cheers man I hope you feel better.

2023-01-27 23:49:57 +0000 UTCThat's terrible. Glad that they were able to diagnose the real issue and provide a real fix at least. Wishing you a quick recovery as always. I'm sure six weeks will fly by and you can be fully back on your feet before you know it.
