I have a family member who's in the hospital for an infected vertebra. The condition might have long-term implications for his mobility, as the pain during the infection, until the antibiotics take hold, is (and, prior to a correct diagnosis, had been for a good while) keeping him from walking and, combined with other conditions, affecting the muscle mass in his legs. This is causing multiple crises on my end—personally, financially, and, given the resources required to take care of the matter, likely professionally as well. This is, needless to say, impeding progress on the project on my part.
(Very obviously, I am not the person suffering the worst from this, but you're here for updates on the project.)
I'm very sorry. When I started these updates, my intention wasn't for them to be a series of delays for increasingly melodramatic reasons. This has been, without exaggeration, quite possibly the single worst day of my life, so I can only offer the comfort that this isn't fun for me, either. I will finish this project if it is the last thing I do, but there are going to be some bumps in the road as I try to find a new normal here.
