I've been holding off announcing this for a long time. I've been talking about my health issue here and there, but never put it under a big spotlight. I didn't want to make people feel bad/afraid for several months. Nor did I want any kind of pity points.
I received the news in October, but I couldn't do much but wait, till now.
On the 20th December I'll be going to the hospital for a surgery NEAR my back. Nothing directly with the spine, but near it. There's a difference, less impactful.

A group of small blood vessels have entangled themselves around a major artery. The constant pulsing of the artery puts a pressure on these vessels causing them to expand. Which in turn causes them to put a pressure on my nerve. Resulting in me losing my feeling and mobility in my legs/hips.
I honestly forgot the correct medical name for this, google isn't helping either.

This started probably in August this year. Maybe earlier but didn't pay attention to it. It started with no sense of heat in my legs, thinking the bath had no warm water, only to be surprised when I sat down. The symptoms became more obvious over September where I was having more tripping (loss of balance) and sleeping toes. Eventually had a talk with a neurologist and later an expert on spine issues. Discovering the above issue.
2 Months later and it's starting to put some heavy strain on me, barely able to walk around without having to support myself somewhere, stairs are a pain and I'm missing my bike to move around. It also made me realize how shitty the walkways are here in my town.

So hopefully this surgery will remove the issue and bring me my mobility back. Basically going to burn the veins so no more blood goes through them, similar on how they treat a constant nosebleed. That or use glue... yeah weird. I'm just glad it's nothing with my spine itself. I'll have to remain at the hospital for 4 days to recover (standard procedure), and if everything goes right, I'll be home by Christmas. During my stay I'll have a laptop with me to keep me entertained. I have my models and Blender installed on it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any work done. I don't think the laptop has the power to render, so I'll probably do poses and then put them on my pc to render. But I really hate working with a mousepad, so maybe nothing will happen, we'll see. . One thing is certain, I'll remain in contact on Discord.

TL;DR: Slowly becoming paraplegic, getting operation to stop it and recover, Won't be able to do shit for a few days.
