Hospital

Taking Zoey for her daily run, then checking myself in at Sunrise Hospital. My wound is forming an abscess and not draining like it usually does. This is only the second time in the 20 or so years I've had it that it's done this. The first time, about ten years ago, I was in for about a week. Hoping it's not as long this time.
My aids are still going to come over twice a day to clean up for Zelda and Zoey, make sure they have plenty of food and water, and give them a bit of company. It's leaving them home alone that I'm most upset about. They get very sad and mopey, especially after Sylv passed.
I'll be leaving instructions with a few people on what to do if the worst happens, but I'm fairly sure it won't come to that. Still, since it's just me, now, I need to be prepared.

I explained where things are at in my update yesterday, and your responses and support meant a lot to me. It was asked if there's something up that people can give to and help me through this, so I'm sharing that link here with all of you. You've already pledged and helped so much, so please don't feel like you have to do more.
The link is https://gofund.me/d98453b4
You'll have to copy/paste as this site doesn't like steering traffic away from it.
Still Trying

Hey, everyone. Want to let you know I'm still here, still trying. I worked today, not happy with the results, but I'm trying. Sylv's passing has been hard on me, in more than the ways that losing a soul-mate and life-long partner usually is. I'm having to learn and figure out how to do even the most basic things myself as I'm now completely on my own 22+ hours a day as a quadriplegic. It's taking longer than I'd hoped, there are still things I'm struggling to do, and any single, simple thing can derail my entire day.
I'm trying. For now, that's all I can do. Please bear with me.

Just letting you all know that I'm still hanging in there. I hope to return to work on the comic in the coming weeks. Thank you all for your patience and understanding as I deal with the loss of my spouse and full-time care provider.
Thank You

Thank you all for your kind words and support. I'm completely on my own, now, Sylv was my aid, so I'm having to pay out of pocket for an aid twice a day to come in and help me dress, groom, use the restroom, etc. Also having to cover $1500 for cremation. If you want to help, we have a GFM here.
