heads up everyone: I recently developed tendonitis in my left shoulder and can barely move my arm away from my side without feeling shooting pain. I can still move my elbow and hand but the doctor told me I cant lift or push anything more than 5 pounds with my left arm for at least a week. I’m currently on medical leave from my job and am taking ibuprofen and ice packs to manage the pain, though it’s difficult as I am left-handed and it makes everything from making a sandwich to getting dressed an awkward and painful ordeal, with every slight movement of my shoulder causes a burst of pain. Needless to say, sleeping hasn’t been easy either. I can still sort of draw, but its not worth it as drawing without trying to move my shoulder quickly results in wrist cramps. So I will be taking a break from art for a while to focus on healing.
