Weird title, but eh. Been a bit since I updated people on things. Nursing was going well until December. Some daily migraine meds I was taking for a few months went haywire with my anxiety med for ptsd and I had to stop taking both, so I've been dealing with a lot of panic attacks. I was getting really sleepy often too that being a Night Shift Nurse didn't explain away. I have sleep apnea now, so yay for not breathing at night. So I've been sorting out a lot of personal health and mental issues since December. As usual, my job/work place is never agreeable with "injuries not seen / not caused by work" so I've been on unpaid medical leave and will be so until April. I've got some things going to help out, commissions are open and I'll just leave them open from now on. I'm a slow artist and not known much, but sometimes things will come through. Anyways, I am waiting on a Bi-Pap machine to be acquired through insurance, seeing a therapist, and soon will have proper meds for things cause it seems I have more than just PTSD/Anxiety. Toss in chronic depression and Bi-Polar at the age of 45. Left knee is getting loose again and cranky since the surgery in 2023. Happy times. So I'm in a ground hog loop of sorts for a while. Hoping to return to working as a nurse once all of this sorted out. Just takes weeks to get anywhere with anything.

So yeah, everything has slowed down, but I am still drawing, and yes, the comic still lives. Cheers!

Just updating everyone. I am once again back to work as a nurse! I work in a hospital now on their Acute Rehab Floor taking care of patients going through physical rehabilitation after surgeries, wrecks, accidents, strokes, and more. I am still drawing, just it will take long now depending on energy after working 3 days of 12 hour shifts each. My comic and future comics are still happening. Pages come out when they come out. Commissions are iffy at best if I'll accept any. Can still ask if you want. Various things are still healing physically and mentally from the car wreck last year but things are improving. 

Fleety.

Hello there from Nurse Fleety. Commission slots are open to get art from me. I even have reserve slots if you need time before you can afford to commission me. I don't bite, I promise, and if I do bite, I have all of my shots. Happy Holidays everyone.

I have good news all the way around.

The miscommunications over the hospital bill has been sorted out. The account was for paying the out of pocket cost to the Blue Cross / Blue Shield insurance company, not to the hospital for their medical fees. The hospital fees are covered by the insurance, the insurance fees are what I owe and is a separate account. I have things arranged and the bill will be paid off this month.

Arrangements as well have been made for a vehicle for me to get so I can get employment when released and I can make payments on it later when I'm employed.

Saw my orthopedic doctor last Thursday. He manipulated my knee and tested the ligaments. He believes two of them may be torn. I am waiting for their office to process an MRI Request with medicaid. Once the MRI is done, we can discuss options for a leg brace I hope, and limitations for work so I can get back into nursing on light duty, and part time till better.

Thank you so much for all the donations, the time to read these updates, the willingness to share my need with those you need, and the care and concern showed towards me. I'll be switching off the fund raising portion as all areas are met now and I can say with relief that aid and help are not urgently required. Thank you all so much! Hugs to you all!

Medical Bills are still coming in, healing process has been very slow and still no return to work date in site. Please consider helping by donating or sharing the GoFundMe link and help a furry nurse out. https://gofund.me/4432aee3

Take a trip with me on my journey trying to walk again. The journey is still going. https://youtu.be/OGibcNPqqLo

Headed in for Wound Care Clinic today in a few hours. See if today is my last day on antibiotics or if Round 3 Starts. Still need to raise more funds as I'm far from paying off my medical bills, still have no income, and have no means of transportation outside of ride from my sister after her shift is done, or paying $15 for a round trip with Cherokee Strip if I know about needing a ride 3-4 business days ahead of time. So please consider donating or sharing my GoFundMe link. It would really help me out.

Funding has almost reached $2,000 out of $35,000. A long ways to go still on the recovery road as today I will start having to change everyone I am seeing over to a whole new team that will take Medicaid (Sooner Care in OK). So I am not sure what will and will not be covered anymore and what extra costs will happen since I must be referred now to my orthopedic doctor, PT, and wound care. Please offer a helping hand with a donation or sharing the GoFundMe link I have with others. Have a safe and wonderful day out there. https://gofund.me/cc83bf54

Heart felt thank you to those that donated yesterday. I didn't get notifications till this morning. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've updated the Fund Raiser information to be more clear, and I now have a video explaining why I'm raising funds. Together we've raised $1,940 of the $35,000 goal needed and I am grateful for all the compassionate donators and sharers of the link. Enjoy your Memorial Weekend and thank you to all who have given their life to give us this freedom to help each other in need.

Once more, a simple call to donate or share the fund raiser link.

Heart felt thanks to donations yesterday. I wasn't able to be at the computer much as some heavy storms had me in pain. Together we've reached $1,555 out of the $35K that is needed. I'm sharing pics of the at home wound supplies I have to buy weekly to treat the leg between Wound Care Clinic Appointments on Mondays at the hospital. What was a wound the size of a dime during the wreck and passed off as non important by the doctor that day has become the size of a dollar coin, and inch deep, and lead to infection of muscle and an a abscess. Wound care supplies run me about $50 when I get them, and the Wound Care Clinic is $307 each time I go as insurance doesn't even cover it. As this wound takes time to heal and they discuss possible surgery or stronger antibiotics, I require the Wound Care Clinic to do things that I cannot do at home. I am remaining hopeful I can keep getting continuing treatments in June.
