Health Update...

Neck Pain: I'm able to sit at the computer more and more often now without pain, up to an hour. My left arm isn't weak anymroe, but still buzzes. The physical therapy seems to be working, and the injection (which was a nightmare), has left my neck stiff, but not nearly as painful. I'm hoping I'll be able to get back to writing and drawing this week. Don't want to say that too loudly because the Universe tends to punish me for being creative.

Chronic Cough: The speech therapist has determined that my cough is caused by a delay in my swallow reflex (and sometimes it not triggering at all) causing junk to drizzle into my lungs. Some muscle therapy is in order to fix that, but at least we know what's causing it.

Psoriasis: I'm finally on the medication to clear that up. I hope I find work, soon, because outside of insurance, it's $10,000 a dose. Seriously. Holy crap. Still too soon to see any clearing, but if it does clear it, the only thing holding me back from my surgery would be my weight.

Things are looking up, health wise at least.

I heard "I just don't think that's going to happen" so so so much over the years....

Rarely drive cause of the car starting to show its age, and lots of medications = cheap gas.

Trying a different take on not wasting ingredients since buying groceries for one is nigh on impossible.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Endgame. A good start, but not my best run against the Demon King. Never got a good handle on the changed Flurry Rush timing in TOTK.

No commentary, as my chronic cough actually interrupted my first attempt to record all this....

That time Google decided that it was gonna show every Wikipedia language EXCEPT English.

Not shown: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (which I also finished, with much cursing).

Silly Jenn Fact: When I was very very very little, I thought Doug Henning was Jesus.

Tears of the Kingdom Post-Game Milestone:

All monsters cleared out. Not at 100%, but I'm calling Tears of the Kingdom finished! I'll probably post an end game video on YouTube soon. No voice, though, still struggling with chronic cough.

Final status:

All Shrines, Light Roots, Korok Seeds, Main Quests, Side Adventures, Shrine Quests, Side Quests, All Monsters and Memories completed.
