Nightdoodles

An old path is left behind, and a new one has opened.
After 6 years of waiting a compatible kidney was found,
and after the transplant surgery and 10 days of interment I'm finally at home recovering.

Feels strange suddenly leaving a routine I had to keep for so so long, but at the same time I can't describe how relieved I am. A huge boulder was taken off my shoulders.
Only my parents know what I went through all these years, and for their constant support I'll be forever grateful, aswell as the transplant team and post surgery treatment who helped me to a quick recovery.  
Also relatives whom I didn't even know immediately showed up to aid me and my parents too, I am indeed blessed with a caring and supportive family.

Now things have changed. Now I can eat normally!   Left behind is the strict diet. Left behind is the sword of Damocles looming over my head every checkup. Left behind the huge medication bill.
The new kidney couldn't be better. It started working immediately without any problem and swiftly cleaned up the toxic mess in my blood.
My recovery is going good, better than good actually and for the first time in years I see a cloudless future ahead of me.  

Now, I can't stress enough how important is to always keep an eye on your kidneys's health.
How important is to keep a healthy life, how important is to have a healthy diet and exercise often. And of course doing a kidney function checkup at least every 6 months. Kidney diseases are silent and don't show symptoms until its too late, don't wait for it.

So tl;dr I was transplanted, I'm recovering fine and I'll get back to scratch the tablet soon.  
See you around!  

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I kinda like it
Somehow I find the site's new look more intuitive and eye-catching

The first thing I saw when I logged today was the Watch Feed with those huge ass thumbs from my watches. I've heard some people complaining that they're too big and clutters their page, but to be honest I found it easy to navigate through and also brings more attention to the pieces themselves. I don't know you, but myself when I'm checking my watches's deviations I usually just give a quick look at the thumbs and just click on the x's until something catches my eye, but of course sometimes happens that I delete a deviation I liked by accident. The big thumbs let me appreciate the pieces better without having to click on them to enlarge them, thus saving me time. You can even fave and comment them directly from the Watch Feed page! Cool beans

The Today page.
Nicely arranged and easy to navigate, it does have a fresh feel to it. It has many different modules that you can see in a second with just scrolling instead of having to find the tab and click it, again saving clicks and time.
I like how you can see the deviations's number of faves and comments in this page too and the ability to browse collections is neat ^^
The thing I don't find too useful is the Connection Hud. I get that its to make new members feel welcomed but lets face it, many of those new accounts are either plz accounts or troll accounts >_>

The hashtags hmmm... well I don't see anything inherently bad about them. I don't really care if it looks like Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr, if it works it works and that's about it. It'd make it easier to browse topics you like I guess, but personally I don't find it too interesting tbh.

About the deviant frontpage, mine looks kinda cluttered now. The Activity widget is way too long for my taste but it seems you cannot edit it and its anchored in the peronal zone. Minus points there.
The ability to write status updates? Hmm well you know me, I'm not the kind who constantly needs to update everybody about what I'm doing at every moment, but I guess its cool for Facebook kind of folks. Maybe I'll use it for humorous purposes every now and then

So overall I think its a great update. It was about time to breath some fresh air around here
