That first sick leave payment can take a while to come through. I think it took about a month and a half for me to receive my first payment

And this is what "getting better" looks like.

Don't even get me started on the constant vivid dreams that leave me feeling not fully rested when I wake up. My brain is begging me to get back into creating but my body literally can't keep up.

Now the nausea has finally passed but the chest pain and discomfort is back and I've been in bed all day. I can barely function at my 9 to 5, let alone find the will to paint.

Woah, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you can get back into the swing of things when you're ready

... What was the goal here
