Big general update
a year ago
Hello again folks!
I come with more or less good news this time! A nice change of pace for once haha
Anyway, I mostly wanted to tell y'all that I've just moved into my new apartment, that is accessible and all and incredibly cozy. After everything leading up to it, I'm very glad to finally settle in. I still have a lot of work to do in the old apartment and in this new one, but I'll see how finances will be treating me this month.
A semi-positive news is that I finally have a definitive answer on what's up with my wrists. Spoiler alert, it's not good, but I'm glad that I have a final say and thus now know how to move around it and live with it.
Basically, my wrists are and will be chronically fucked. After seeing a frankly stupid amount of doctors trying to fix my wrists, the consensus from the specialists is that due to the hypermobility of my very thin wrists, the tendons and ligaments are more prone to consumption and inflammation, which means that I cannot put too much strain on them. There is no operation, no cure, no nothing that can be done about shitty ligaments, I can only try and take things at my own pace knowing my own limitations.
What does this mean for my art? Nothing really, I'll still be drawing to my heart's content, just some days are rougher than others, just like it always has been, and now I know for certain will continue to be. At least having a wheelchair is helping me get around without using a cane/crutches that hurt my wrists.
All this just means that I won't be eligible for a vast majority of jobs in the classic work field, which means that the disability paperwork journey continues. I know I'll be seeing a guy to assess my case this week anyway, so we'll see how that goes.
I'm glad I can count on all you lovely supportive folks to get by, but sadly Switzerland is expensive and I do still need a classic job to make ends meet. I'm thankful for my job as an English teacher, which does provide me with part of what I'd need, but it's only a part-time job, also due in part to my health condition. The rest of it so far is coming from unemployment, until the disability offices can decide on what to do with me. 'Tis a complicated situation, but at least things are heading in the right direction. I hope haha
TL;DR: I moved into my new apartment so I don't have to strain as much, and I found out my wrists are perma-busted, but that's not gonna stop me from drawing.
Anyway, take care out there, I hope to be back soon with more art as soon as my wrists stop hurting from the move and all that ^^
