Hi everyone,

I'm posting on behalf of Cryptic, he's been in the ER for going on over 36hrs, 24 of those already having been on IV antibiotics, and they want to keep him on them an additional day at minimum. An injury he got presumably at work started doubling in severity every day until it became a clear emergency, this was the 2nd time in an ED for it but the first time that it was taken truly seriously. He had to have a minor surgical procedure on his right (dominant) hand, is now staph, and can hardly use it. 

In a couple days I will post again on his behalf about how the pin proofing process went and a couple changes that had to be made (namely lemonade is now 50mm tall but I'll explain why, and we can offer compensation if that's not acceptable). I got sent manufacturer WIP photos of most of his spiders, since we're using the same manu, this morning - so I can include those in the update! 

Because of this, we had to cancel our Oddities & Curiosities appearance this weekend and lost all our expenses involved. I was and am incredibly worried about him and am so glad he finally let me drag him to the ER this week, but it remains true that now we're in a pickle until after Tekko this upcoming weekend (which will be...SO rough to do like this...), potentially further. Because we unfortunately still have to get ready for Tekko ASAP - I'm participating in 2 stamp rallies, one of which I'm hosting, and sunk cost for this one is even higher - surveys will be even more delayed because I'll have to do the bulk of work for both of them. 

I don't know what to say for us about our planned collab pin campaigns that we wanted to do at the end of this month other than it'll have to be delayed proportionately with the surveys which are now send date TBD. 

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding! PLEASE take care of yourselves and your health!!
