Kind of, I'm not peeing blood or anything now but I'm still having some weird/concerning symptoms, so I might need to go back to the doctor in the next few days and see what they say.
But, yeah. I've played on and off for a little over 10 years. Had to let go of my gear several times to help cover bills for my parent who is disabled/sick when they had no income. That's all sorted now though, and I have been wanting to start playing/writing again very badly over the past year. So, yeah, I just have been slowly saving up over the last 12 months so I could finally get something nice again.
Gonna set up my recording equipment and start doing some musical shit of my own on here soon. Just need to figure out a program for writing drum tracks and I'd like to start saving up for a decent used microphone so I can record vocals for my stuff too.
