Where I've been and what's been going on

General
Probably time to make an official statement here as well (outside of a brief mention in a description of a post)
Those who follow me on Bluesky will probably already know what I've been dealing with, but for almost 2 years now I've been struggling with an (until recently) unknown back injury, which has been swapping between getting briefly better and far worse.
After recently getting it identified, it turns out that I have a couple bulging disks around my mid/upper back and most days they keep me from doing any kinda drawing, and even my actual job. I'm not gonna go into huge detail here, just know that I draw when I can, it isn't often at the moment, so I'll likely be prioritizing small personal projects that I can do in a couple hours or so while I wait on getting treatment.
Hoping to be back to drawing as much as I wanna soon, as well as working through some more of the requests from my form. There's still plenty from there I would very much like to get done.

Working on it! Been a real (literal) pain to deal with, but knowing what's wrong is a step in the right direction to getting it fixed up so I can get back to doing what I love (drawing fat furries lmao)

I'm so sorry you haven't been doing well man, hope it can get worked out in time.

Eventually yeah! Not bad enough to warrant getting surgery done according to my ortho doctor, gonna go for the shots in my back in hopes that it'll get me feeling better faster than a chiropractor would, even if it'll hurt like hell lmao

That's good at least, surgery is expeeeeensive.
