Hey,
if you haven't seen alot of content or activity off me for the past 7 months, well there is a reason. i was recently diagnosed with rhumatoid arthritis, a condition witch causes inflammation in soft tissue, witch can cause mild to severe pain and stiffness in joints, notably the hands, shoulders and knees.
The pain start late december - early january with my right fingers felling stiff, unable to uncurl. i was assured it was carpal tunnel. it wasn't, basically, and then begun the massive fiasco of 6 months of dancing round doctors and hospitals to get all sorts of tests. during this period, my work increased its workload, and required people to voluntarily do overtime, otherwise we would be put on 12 hour shts to meet demand. as you can imagine, this put great strain on me physically and mentally, as i couldn't even lift my arms to put on my shirt some days, often called weak and dismissed by my co-workers as dramatic. but im not here to rant about all that, its in the past.
I'm here to say i'm on the road to a quick recovery, even now i feel compelled to draw! hopefully you'll see my art increase as my pain fades. who knows how long the medication lasts, or when i next flare up, but as long as i focus on the now, and maybe have the forsight to accomodate such tasks in the future i may still be drawing occasionally. who knows.
TL;DR: Fingers stiff but its gettin better.
And don't even think about feeling sorry for me! you hear?
regards,
Captain Corfide.
