I'm working on healing - slowly. My back still hurts like heck, but they took the tubes out. Now I just have open holes in my back, covered with gauze.
It still hurts to reach my arms forward to draw - it pulls the incisions open and really stings something fierce, but I'm hoping soon that I'll be able to work on commissions again.
I'm really sorry this has taken so long, and I'm glad my commissioners are so patient.
Again, if anyone is waiting on a commission and is tired of waiting, I will be more than happy to hand over what I have and issue a refund. I still have the money in my Paypal, as I don't remove it until I'm finished, so that would not be a problem at all.

Thank you guys for your concerns - I'm doing my best to rest and recover, though the docs told me it'd be a month or more to heal after I got the tubes taken out of my back, since they want me to heal from the inside out, to prevent further infection.
