Max Releases Brand Spot Showcasing New Footage From Expansive 2024 HBO And Max Original Programming Lineup
Long Term Covid Update.
While I’m still on the mend from the severe ear infection that I have suffered and have been suffering from all week, I did find out yesterday from seeing an ENT specialist that what I was diagnosed originally as a form of long-term Covid was in fact wrong. Thank God. So, while I’m still on the mend, I’m happy to state that my infection has nothing to do with Covid and I am not suffering from long-term Covid or any after effects of having Covid last month that I am aware of. I will keep you all posted if something changes. In the meantime, I’m slowly going to catch up on the backlog of work that I have to do. Thank you all for your continued support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Mark

Unfortunately I have suffered a side effect from Covid I never even heard of until now.
The effects of long term Covid have materialized in me despite having gotten over the virus right before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I have a strange side effect that has affected the hearing in my left ear and I am taking medication with the hope that I will recover from the excruciating pain this side effect has caused. As a result of this once again, I’m going to have to take a break from posting any new content. I hope you will understand and I apologize. Hopefully this treatment that I’m getting now will enable me to get back on the saddle sooner rather than later. But at this time I have to focus on my health because of the fact that it’s possible that I could go deaf in one ear if I don’t take this seriously and properly. So I will be back soon. Any prayers or good thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.
