Way TMI and Announcement
I'm going to put this under a cut, in case you're feeling icky.
As probably you remember, I haven't feeling well for sometime now. Some of you guessed correctly that my secret was that I was pregnant. One of the reasons I didn't go out and announced it with fanfare was that my body was behaving weirdly. So I guess that at least mentally, I was almost expecting something bad to happen.
On November 20th, around midnight, I started bleeding. Actually, it started on Sunday, but it was not significant. Something happened that night, and bam, it just wouldn't stop. To quote Dave: Man, did I bleed all over the place. It was that bad. I got really scared and my husband took me to the hospital. By the time I got there, I was already feeling faint. They ran some tests and told me I was having an imminent miscarriage. The doctor said I couldn't afford to wait to the morning, because I was bleeding too much. They almost immediatly put me to sleep and I got a D&C. If you don't know what this is, don't ask. The details are gruesome.
I woke up feeling like a wet rag. They put so much crap in my IV that I was sure that if they took a sample it would look like lemonade. A few hours later they sent me home, where I slept the rest of the day while my body manufactured more red juice.
And here I am, a day after. I suppose I am okay. But this was just too much. I suppose I have to digest it all: the loss, the fear, the whole sheer trauma, the emptiness.
The short version: I'm not feeling physically nor mentally fit to make comics right now. Since I have my annual vacation coming on December (it usually starts around Dec. 10th and lasts until the beginning of next year), I think I'll just take it early.
So the new ETA for CRFH comics is January 8th. It's possible that I upload other things, so keep checking the site. I'll arrange someone to ship the pending stuff in the mail in the beginning of next week. EDIT: Oh crap,I ran all out of CRFH #7. I've got enough for the people who have already ordered, so don't worry, you'll get it. But I'll take it down from the store until I get more printed.
I thank you all for understanding, and for your kind messages.
