Artist Personal Updates 82015
(TW) Mentioning some gross things about nausea and teeth decay.)
I’m almost certain that nearly none of you really keep track of my personal life updates I post once in a blue moon, about what’s going on for me, but-- I like to mention these important things anyway to keep anyone who stumbles across them updated.
A little while ago I mentioned my tooth problems (the TL;DR is that my right-side-second-molar is badly decayed (cavity) although the issue was spotted over two years ago. The tooth is almost nonexistent at this point—it has become almost completely hallow from decay. I didn’t have health insurance at the time to afford to fix it, but since my mom married my step-dad we now have insurance readily available at any time. I haven’t gotten around to finding a dentist yet). Things have only gotten worse for me, unfortunately!
My right ear has had terrible ear pain. On Saturday night I began to have these sort of dizziness headaches (from I assume the ear pain… cause nausea [and vomiting] from the constant spinning feeling… They’re as bad as my regular migraines), and they have basically connected the dots for me to recognize that it’s a direct relation to my decaying molar. It’s a thing that happens.
The dizziness has been far too awful for me to work on commissions consistently. It comes and goes, but with eye and motion sensitivity from dizzy headaches I simply have been unable to sit at my computer for long periods of time to work. Reading, immersing myself in coloring or line work, and the brightness of my laptop screen is simply too much of an irritation—it all makes me nauseous. Ibuprofen helps if I lay down, but sleep is essentially the only solution and I’ve been doing a lot of it.
I’ll be scheduling a dentist appointment tomorrow. All of this will certainly result in a root canal for my tooth, it’s simply too far gone. Fortunately money won’t play any role in this situation. I expect the insurance to pay for the entire thing so I hope nobody is anticipating any issues on that! I know things will be alright in that aspect. I also am sure the procedure will go well! I’m not scared or worried at all for it, but it’s definitely something I wish had been taken care of sooner. Sigh.
Another extra annoyance of all of this is my tooth hurts too much to wear my retainer, so all of my teeth are rather achey from not wearing it as I should be lately.
Anyhow I anticipate this going well and I want to feel better soon.
I’m feeling bad in other ways though-- I absolutely must work on my commissions as often as possible. Fortunately the dizziness wasn’t around if at all today and I hope it stays that way for tomorrow (and the rest of forever, please). I want to work but I haven’t been doing as much as promised to some or that I should because it’s been simply impossible. Nausea and artwork is impossible. Even if I tried my hardest I’d be putting out half-effort products out of fatigue, which NEVER, in a million years, would I want to subject my commissioners to.
I’m trying my best guys, I promise I am… but it’s all coming along slowly. I actually have a lot of lenience for my commissions because I give myself a month’s deadline from payment date, but I would prefer to avoid such long waits as often as possible. I still feel stressed and sad regardless. I want to make all of you smile with the work I provide to you but I’m feeling so poopy. It’s all poopy.
In other news, our hardwood floors are coming along well. We still need to replace some rotted stuff before we end up finishing the living room, but dang it’s coming along! We’ll also be purchasing a new nice white pleather couch. The house is generally feeling more welcoming and spiffy and that’s super exciting.
Also, school is going fine for me! Everything is paid for and I expect this semester to go completely smoothly and for my GPA to go up with ease. My next important step will be appealing my Financial Aid Disqualification, and maybe I’ll end up with some extra money next semester. We’ll see.
As always, I appreciate all of you supporting me in my work, and I am thanking all of you for your patience.
Best of luck with your coming semester, too!
