Hey, everyone I hope your all doing well. I can definitely say I've been better, but I'm hanging in there.
My November was a bit of a rollercoaster. We felt like we were finally getting somewhere with figuring out what we need to do to get in better shape overall then it's like someone just ripped the ground out from under us. What positives we were feeling just seemed to go right out the window pretty much all at once. It was like we had finally gotten that boulder pushed where we were above water when the ground just slipped and we landed at the bottom with it on top of us.
After a month of waiting for the MRI we finally got it. Just wish it'd of yielded more... obvious results. Everything in my ankle for the most part looked good so other than the possibility something in the soft tissue's not showing up we pretty much aren't any better off than we were before. My ankle's still getting worse. I'm set to start physical therapy soon to see if that'll do anything though I have a feeling that we might be going back to the orthopedic again but, we'll see how that goes. It's just really frustrating. One thing though I did get some stronger pain medication prescribed so I'm at least getting enough relief to sleep through the night. Just wish I could do more. I'm just barely hanging onto my new years resolution by a thread right now. Between the constant intense pain from my ankle and the drowsiness from the pain med I'm far from able to focus on anything. I keep trying but, I don't want to push it.
On another medical related update. This week I went to Duke and got Botox for the first time. It surprisingly didn't hurt too bad. I had definitely built it up in my mind more than it actually was. It won't start working for another week or so but, as of my current situation with it. It's not too bad I have a bit of soreness when I run my hand over some of the injection sites and my brow feels a little heavy aside from that I'm fine so far. Hope it works and decreases my migraines.
As for artwork I'm trying. I'll get stuff up as I get it done but, no promises I'll get much art up this month. Especially since I've temporarily lost access to photoshop. I should get it back soon but, as a part of some of the events I mentioned above my creative cloud account along with a few other things were a part of the collateral damage from the boulder rolling back down hill.
On another art related note I've been strongly considering redesigning logo and possibly even my main fursona. I'm still brainstorming at the moment but, I really want to come up with something that represents me. I've only mildly tried designing a fursona in the past just being happy with the characters I come up with. Though I've never really seriously attempted designing a by definition fursona. It's by no means going to be a easy task but, I'm hoping to come up with something I'm proud of. I'm not too sure I won't be asking for help at some point. Now even after I design a fursona even if the name changes I'm not going to change my user by any means not going to change accounts. VJCoon'll still be my main handle especially from a artist point. I honestly don't know if anything'll really change other than I might just have a new character that'll probably have artwork showing up here more often. We'll just see how it all goes I guess.
I hope everyone's December's gone well so far and that the Krumpus didn't stop by for a visit this week. I hope my update wasn't too depressing. I've been having a bit of a struggle with looking on the bright side lately. That blow I suffered recently's hit me pretty hard. On a positive note this week we celebrated Mattie's birthday. So What have you been up to have any fun plans coming up?
Christmas Wishlist.
In the case someone might be interested in giving me something. You'd be guaranteed a huge thank you at the least and possibly even might get something in return.

BTW, will you be maing the run to Concord for Ichibancon this year?
thanks.*hugs back*
We're hoping to; though at the moment it's a bit up in the air.
Now to invest in all the safety gear.. Yeah, I've wrecked on mine a couple times. Still have the one I built back in my freshman year in college..
Yep. Definitely'll want to get the basics at least. Footprint, the same company that makes those insoles on my wishlist has a line of pads I'm thinking of investing in when the time comes. Their insoles have amazing shock absorption and support to them. You can drop a bowling ball on them and it absorbs all the energy to the point the ball doesn't bouce. The same material's in their pads for skateboarding too. They seem like a strong candidate based on the reviews and product tests I've seen. They even have padded socks to help protect your ankles.
Cool.
