Monthly Update: Sightseeing Edition
🕑 Added 2024-06-29 20:54:49 +0000 UTCAnother month, another update! The health saga with my eyesight has been the main topic for a while, and there's finally some good news! As I mentioned in the previous update post, I finally had a minor medical operation to fix the issues in my left eye. The operation went well, and after a few weeks, it's now pretty safe to say that the most dangerous eye-pressure issue is now healing. I still need plenty of eye-drops and pauses when reading or writing, but if things improve at this rate, I'm probably going to be back in action sooner rather than later. After the operation, I was on sick leave from work for a week to give both eyes some rest and healing, and now I can use both eyes again without the eye patch. There's still some wobbliness, focusing issues and tiredness but the treatment has been working great after a slow start. I can again read and write using both eyes, previously it was nearly impossible. There might be some minor permanent damage in my left eye, but hopefully it should not be anything too serious.
Other than that, there's not much new. Still, I'm pretty excited as I can again do simple things like reading without struggling. I pretty much had to drop most of my hobbies and activities just so I could barely manage things at work, as focusing my eyesight became increasingly hard. Really made me appreciate things more that I previously took for granted. If things go well, expect more good news in the next update, or even before it. Releasing Offcuts 0.4 is on top of my priority list once my eyes are in good enough shape again, which is hopefully soon. What comes after that is still open, but hopefully Offcuts 0.5 (or a new project I have been thinking about) instead of my retirement.
As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless patience!
