I had to go to the hospital yesterday. It was the combination of extreme stress, drinking too much, working too hard, and eating too good. Friday I had the most excruciating abdominal pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I’ve broken both my legs and this was close to being as bad. Abdominal pain is no joke. The doctor said it was gastritis. I didn’t have healthcare because I have been too busy trying to keep up with work and running a business that I never had a chance to keep my health insurance in order plus I was making too much money to get normal benefits and didn’t have enough time to sign up for quality, premium benefits I am way in the negative this year so it was easy for me to qualify thankfully so Monday morning I signed up for health insurance and went to the hospital. The good news is the doctor says I have Viking blood and all my organs are fine aside from slightly fatty liver they got me in and out pretty quickly, and I started feeling better quite rapidly. right now I’m bedridden and just trying to take good care of myself. It shouldn’t be long before. I’m 100% again. I’m gonna change my diet and start eating a lot better and drinking a lot less. I’m in a good place for the most part, I’ve put up good boundaries to keep my stress down and I’m sticking to those. There’s been a certain individual that’s been extremely toxic who I won’t mention that’s all I have to say about that. I’m hoping I feel better soon. I got a whole bunch of work on my plate to do. I’m trying to order a whole bunch of bass wood and a bunch of new knives to release new profiles. 2026. I should be fully set up an operational and doing really good work. There’s a lot of positives and a few negatives, and I think we will have the negatives sorted out soon. Please pray for me. thank you. Much love to you all thank you for your continued patience and support. -Nigel
