Bonjour, Hi! I’m officially back from recovery!
The webcomic will be back on June 4th because I need a bit of time to reorganize the work that accumulated during the past six weeks. In the meantime, you can come see me at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival this weekend on St-Denis street! I’ll be there with most of my cute merch and Volume 2 of course! Come see us at booth A09, between Duluth and Roy streets!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
I’ll have to take a break from some Ponto related activities for about 6 weeks because, I’ll be having surgery. I didn’t expect I would get my date so quickly but here we are. I also want to talk about this because it’s a common issue that affects about 70% of women. It’s usually no cause for concern but can get be problematic in some cases… So about a year ago, I started experiencing weird back pain. I brushed it off thinking it was just a pulled muscle or related to poor posture. The pain would come and go but after a few months it was almost 24/7. I went to see the doctor and was told that it was part of getting old, that I should just exercise more. She referred me to the clinic’s OBGYN for an unrelated test. I went to my appointment thinking it would be just a routine test but no! She told me right away that I have fibroids. Turns out these are benign tumors growing in and outside of the uterus and it’s not clear why this happens. After some more tests, I was told that I have 3: two are about the size of grapefruits! I did not experience the common symptoms but, the doctor said that these masses were pushing on my organs and most likely causing my back pain. Anyways, I ll be getting rid of them next week but it will be a long recovery so that’s why I’ll be taking a break and slowing things down!
Here’s what it means for Ponto:– Maybe more spontaneous illustrations since I won’t be able to go out much
