We're picking up where the art degree ends.

I'm your host, Paul Blaze.

And episode number 712 is now out, and I am stoked to be getting it out.

It is a couple days later than I wanted to do it.

And if you listen to Tuesday's episode, then you will have known that that one actually

went out on Wednesday.

And it's because I was recovering from surgery over the weekend.

And so, yeah, I've just pretty much been backed up and trying to put my life back together

after a bout of gallbladder pain that was just obnoxious.

In fact, the problem with my gallbladder started seven years ago, I had no idea. It happened like shortly after I'd been diagnosed with cancer. Actually, it'd been like going, let's see, I think cancer had been going on for a little while. And then it kept coming back and we thought my life was hanging in the balance. And so I started to have these gallbladder attacks.

We called the ambulance to come a couple of times, went to the hospital.

And all they would tell me is that it wasn't happening to me.

There was no, there was nothing going on.

There was nothing wrong with my body.

And, oh my gosh, they finally said that we think it's psychological. And these are probably panic attacks.

And so these panic attacks, and I may have mentioned them in the past before, because I finally got to a point where I was like, well, I think these are just panic attacks because they feel like I was having heart attacks.

They felt like I was dying.

They were so painful.

And it would take like 40 minutes for them to come and go and then be gone.
