Hello Everyone. I am sorry that I have not posted an update, It's something that's been on my mind, but I couldn't figure out how to put everything that's happened into words.

So to start off, let's get all the positives out of the way; I started university. This is a massive leap as I have not been in school for over TEN years. It's always been something I have wanted to do; I just had too many barriers in the way. Now that I live in the city, I can quickly get to and from campus without many issues. So I have started on a level 4 course just to get used to studying before taking the plunge into full-time study. So far, it's been a lot of fun; it's something I look forward to each week, and it gets me out of the house. It's been a breath of fresh air into my life as it feels like I am finally doing something with my life, which is fantastic. I also have a few friends I enjoy talking to in my course. I am the oldest in the class besides the teacher, but that is expected.

I got a laptop, or the people that pay my medical benefits saw that I never asked them for anything and granted me the money for it, and I have to pay it back slowly. But it's been massively helpful as the days when I can't get out of bed and can still study and do art on it. It's nothing fancy it can't play anything but maybe vanilla mc, but that's fine. I didn't want it to play games.

Now for the bad news

I was officially diagnosed with two small tumours in my liver. It's taken about three months for this official diagnosis, but I will say its not been a fun three months. About 6ish months ago, last year, I was in the hospital for suspected appendicitis. Extreme pain in my navel/stomach, and I spent three days in the hospital. I could not eat or drink daily in case I needed immediate surgery. While I was there, they did a cat scan to ensure everything was fine. On the last day in the hospital, I was told that the scan showed nothing and that my results were 'normal'. That wasn't true; they had seen the tumours there but never told me. After a few months, I had an ultrasound, where they spent an hour scanning up across my ribs. It was odd because my pain was in my lower abdomen. Well, they told me right then and there that there was one tumour and one something in my liver, and I should see my GP about the next steps and possibly get an MRI. That was back in January. I didn't get an MRI till halfway through February. JUST before I started Uni. I had spent weeks thinking, "I have cancer; what if this tumour grows and spreads? Do I need to have my liver removed?" These thoughts are just spinning round and round. This made me extremely stressed, and I couldn't manage. I became extremely depressed and just didn't function. Well, I got the results, and thankfully both tumours (yes. The something was another tumour) are benign and are unlikely to grow. So, for now, they will sit inside my liver. Yay, happy times. I got that result on the 3rd of March.

Now for the worse news. As most know, I deal with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and chronic pain (fibromyalgia). You probably didn't know that pain makes it hard for me to walk. As a result, I now walk with a cane; it keeps me steady when my legs shake uncontrollably and helps with my lower back and hip pain. I am, by definition, a person living with a disability. Unfortunately, the benifiterys no longer see it that way, and as a result, they Have removed me from my benefit and told me to live off my partner's income. I now only get $48 to pay rent, let alone everything else I need to pay. I can't work as well. I walk with a cane, so retail work is out of the question. Going to school ALONE is hard on my body. So I have to come up with around $1120 a month just for rent. So you will be seeing me opening for more commissions soon. As that is the only thing, I can do for work.

As always, I hope everyone is happy and safe. Thank you for all the support and for sticking by me.
