Quick Update (Surgery Recovery)
5 years ago
General
Hey everyone! Just popping in for a quick post-surgery update.
Everything is healing up well! I just had my 2-week check-in yesterday, where I got everything assessed, and my stitches taken out, too. My doctor said, though, that since drawing caused such a strain in the first place, he recommends waiting for another two weeks before starting up again. Currently, I have about... 60% functionality? ^^; Enough to do a little makeup and drive, but not enough to open heavy doors or draw for long periods, LOL
I’ll update you all again after my next appointment (in another 2 weeks)! What I’m anticipating at this point is being okay to start drawing then, but probably spending a week building that strength/confidence back up and also monitoring how well the surgery worked/if anything new comes up. So I’ll be posting another update when I know more, but for now, I’m expecting another 3 weeks until I can open commissions again OTL Thank you all so much for your patience and support, and I hope to be back soon!!
Much love,
Candy
