Calli post-surgery update: dad is emotional (text in thread)

Hey, skeletons! It’s Your Boy. Just saying howdy!

Things have been difficult but I’m hanging in there! I’ve been spending my days endlessly watching movies, but after today’s appointment it looks like I’ll have more mobility options and will be focus on my rehabilitation for my knee.

I don’t like to worry any of you, but the surgery had complications and ended up being twice as long as the doctor anticipated. I was in much worse shape than they had imagined, and the way I was exercising really did a number on not just my knee, but many things connected to it. It has been a really taxing process and I’m still in a lot of pain even right now. But you know me, I’m not giving up on healing! (Not like I have a choice, but a couple nights after the surgery I really could only think “I’m not going to make it!!”)

It’s just tough because, I like to identify what I can do to help and better myself and do it. But in this case, the only way to get better is by doing nothing at all- better yet, “relaxing” which is something I’m notoriously bad at…all dead people (and dead beats) know this…

It is definitely a good thing I’m taking a long rest. The other day I was just thinking about what to grab for lunch and started crying and hyperventilating on the spot…imagine? How is the Grim Reaper herself crying and dry heaving over which sandwich to get, and whether I should skip out on chips?! I think feeling immobile, useless and otherwise “pathetic” has something to do with it. 8'{
They told me I’d be emotional after surgery, but this is on another level…so, I don’t think I’m stable to stream, and won’t be for longer than I initially thought. I have a ballpark estimate of when I’ll be back, and it’s the end of May. We’ll still do members only streams, but get ready for them to be crammed in the last 3 days or so!

Anyway, that’s my report.
Do you Dead Beats have any shows you enjoyed marathoning, or movie recommendations? Specifically, I really like thrillers with psychological twists…!
How about games on Steam that pair well with the Steam Deck? I think I’m finally feeling better enough to enjoy video games again, so if you have any Steam Deck recommended games let me know!

Thanks for your patience, everyone!

I’ll keep myself on the healing track so we can return to conquest over humanity immediately upon my return. B}
