    Wow.. today has been a big change in my life. Ik this is long, still in tears, but bear with me, please read if you have health issues or have family history of health problems, i never had any before but i trusted my gut today and saved my life. 
    In a previous post i talked about mental health and wanting to get better. On the road of starting to get better, i thought about physical health, given the fact my family has the worst medical history in the world, i decided to do a checkup and make sure im all good.  My family has had/ at risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, blood disorders, blood pressure issues, you name it, we practically had it.
     
    My arm was recently aching, and giving family background of my sister and mother not only getting blood clots, but having clots in the same location at a matter of months apart each time in the same arm, i wanted to get it checked and get blood work done. 
     
    Blood came back with elevated ddimer, if you aren’t sure what that is, an elevation in ddimer means blood clot, now this can be elevated even with just having a bruise, my arm was hurting but it was not swollen bigger than the other, no discoloration, no numbness, nothing, and the pain wasn’t severe at the time, just a dull ache that came and went. Told me they would get me an ultrasound as soon as a week and a half.
    I wasnt happy but said ok. No sooner than a few days go by, my arm pain gets worse, and the pain goes up my arm, to my shoulder, then my neck. I panic thinking the worse such as heart attack or maybe stroke. I go in, hospital isnt convinced it could be anything serious as i wasnt showing signs of anything based on a few small reflex tests and having literally no other symptoms. But, given my family history and how terrified i was, they do an ultra sound on my arm and a ct scan to make sure i wasnt having anything wrong with my heart or lungs.
    My ultra sound came back, i have a clot in my arm. And whats scary is arm clots have a chance of moving and getting into the lungs or heart if left untreated. If i had waited like my original drs told me, who knows what couldve happened by then as the pain worsened in such a short time. Sadly this disorder will never go away, at the same time, im so happy i didnt wait, i trusted my gut, and it potentially saved me from something that couldve damaged my arm or worse, couldve killed me.

    This little business of mine has expanded into something bigger and more fantastic than I ever could have imagined. That's why a year in it's time I ditch going by a username featuring a trademarked character when I have my own sweet-and-sassy character I can brand myself with. Whether claiming this niche is pretentious or not, I have to embrace the success I've had dominating the market of western-styled comics and art, eventually branching out into even more mediums and perhaps an outside store. But for now, join me in ushering in the age of Western Wets Comic Studio, Omorashi.org's prime spot for story adaptations, original illustrations and much more!
