I can’t say that it’s not par for the course, but…

I’ve been continuing to have… worsening symptoms of migraines, so that’s being managed.

Why that suddenly decided to get worse after being stable for the longest time, I’m still not quite sure.

I’m not going to get into much more detail than that about them unless they get so bad that I have to go to the emergency room or become hospitalized for them, and I’ve been told when to present where for them. However, it continues to be a joke for any of those who think that I can hold down a conventional job right now… or at any time in the future based on how things continue to look. This is one of the reasons why I am not streaming right now (well, one of the main reasons if you extrapolate it into the whole health thing…).

I posted about them on Facebook though in the event that emergency room or hospitalization thing happen.

I wanted to write a longer post here, but…

I have had an ear infection for a few days now (that I continue to get as an adult for… some reason, more than likely owing to how small my Eustachian tubes continue to be), and it has not gotten any better, so I feel like going to urgent care is not only the preferable thing to do but the necessary thing to do in this case. I haven’t been able to hear out of my left ear for a few days now because of how “clogged” and “stuffed” it feels, and this is usually something that quickly improves. It is not doing so in this case. There is also pain to be had with this ear, and since that pain is not only not going away but is causing me to need to take pain medication for it, I think it needs to be seen. I don’t want to be put on oral steroids for this unless there is absolutely no way around that, because my body can no longer tolerate prednisone like it used to and the side effects — more like adverse effects in this case — have become absolutely unbearable. (For instance, I frequently get full-blown fevers from “therapeutic” prednisone usage, and I do not like this at all. Not a bit.)

Maybe when I’m feeling better I’ll begin writing those posts that I’d intended to begun writing about sooner.

A whole bunch of things crammed into one post.

First things first: I’m waiting for my migraines to begin to improve. So yeah, still waiting on that one. During the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that was done on the right side of my head, the technician accidentally pierced the nerve with the shot meant to numb it rather than injected the lidocaine beside it… and that was a ten-out-of-ten banger until he could sufficiently numb up that entire side of my head, and I mean that in the worst possible way. I know that it was a mistake and that these things just happen some of the time, so I’m not mad at him for what was clearly a simple mistake. It just means that I have to wait a little while longer until the pain on that side of my head is ameliorated, assuming that it even ameliorates at all. We’ll see…

Secondly: The terms “abandonware” and “fair use act” do not mean what certain people think they mean, or what certain people have been deluding themselves into thinking that they mean. I’ve been in correspondence with the copyright holder of… one such entity (although you could also call them the owner of the intellectual property in question, and that wouldn’t be wrong either), and not only have these contacts clarified some information for me — namely that you can not claim that something is abandonware because it is the older version of a current program, and accepting money for any reason as part of this project means that you are profiting off of someone else’s work — but have solidified the fact that I am not going to participate in any projects that are not iron-clad in their legality. If this means that I do not participate in any more “projects” like this any more, so be it. I’d rather not take unnecessary risk here, especially as a streamer.
