🍄🌿🐸 AF update; My wrists have turned to dust. 🐸
Posted 2 months agoI've not drawn this much in... probably years at this point. Gosh
Does anyone have tips for the wrist pain from drawing so much?
I must say, it feels like a massive achievement. I never thought I could get this much done, and the response from people gives me l i f e.

🍄🌿🐸 Art Fight 🐸🌿🍄
Posted 3 months agoI've never done Art Fight before, but it's always intrigued me.
I plan on mostly doing pixel art since it's easier on my back.
Here's my page, I'm still in the process of getting it ready so please excuse how blank it is.

Rocky recovery
Posted 3 months agoMy recovery from emergency surgery four weeks ago has been somewhat rough. Since then I've been in and out of doctors and nurses rooms multiple times a week, quite frankly I'm exhausted, and it hasn't ended yet. I tore my stitches open turning in bed, I had an allergic reaction to the wound dressings which has made healing so much slower, I hurt my neck with the position I slept in trying to avoid the first scenario again which gave me some severe headaches, and now I've got pain in the left side of my back, which worries me because it's the same place that sent me to the emergency room in the first place.
I'm tired y'all.
I'm motivated to draw, but I simply don't have the physical strength to do it right now, which sucks.

So I just had emergency surgery.
Posted 4 months agoSaturday was going normally until around 9pm when a pain in my left side started. It's a pain I'd had before, got told it was a kidney infection despite not having any UTI symptoms, but this time it was much worse. Called the non-emergency advice line, I deal with chronic pain so pain scales are so confusing to me, I'm not good at explaining them. I said the pain was preventing me sleeping, and they made me an appointment for midday, by then it was half 3 in the morning. After going back to bed but not being able to lie down, Del, my beloved partner, told me I'm clearly in too much pain and we need to go to hospital now. I thank my lucky starts for him.
We were sat in the emergency room for hours, but in all honesty, the wait could have been worse if I waited until daylight. My mum came in and took over from my lovely boy because he was exhausted and had work that night. He was willing to stay longer, but I insisted he went home. I'm a person that tolerates a lot of pain very well, I have chronic musculoskeletal pain and nerve pain, I'll curse a bit and groan, but it doesn't hold a candle to how bad this pain was. I can confidently say it was the worst pain of my life. I am not ashamed to admit I was straight up crying in that waiting room after the 4th or 5th hour there. I was asking to die. I cannot describe the pain to people, because my brain has already blocked it out of my memory. It got to the point where I couldn't walk any more.
I got a CT scan on my kidney, and to everyone's surprise, the kidney's fine, it's healthy. But not far from it they found an ovarian cyst the size of a fist. After that, they gave me morphine or some releaf. The oral stuff didn't work, so an IV was put in to give me IV morphine. It took a bit of the edge off, but not for long. By the time I was wheeled up to the ward I'd be staying in it had wore off. After trying more oral meds they have me more through the IV. I spent my first ever overnight stay in hospital. Honestly? It was alright. I had my own room, and regular painkillers being pumped into me. My aunt brought me my teddy bear for comfort and I actually slept on and off for the first time in 36 hours.
The next day was more tests, more briefings about what my first ever surgery would entail, I don't remember most of it if I'm honest. But the big thing was the pain was under control from the morphine. I ate a little, but I really didn't have an appetite. I didn't feel afraid of anxious, just exhausted. Tuesday was surgery day. I was actually pretty excited. I was grinning at people on my way down to the operating room, I probably looked insane. All the medical staff were wonderful, so friendly, kept me calm, I really appreciated it. I don't remember falling asleep, just waking up with blurry vision 'cause I didn't have my glasses.
When I was as awake as I would be I got wheeled back to my room in the ward, met by my three favourite people, my mum, aunt and boyfriend. Turns out me waking up perfectly aligned with visiting hours. That's when my surgeon came in to explain what had happened. And it was by no means straight forward. That cyst was bigger than they initially estimated. Not only that, but it was growing off a fallopian tube and had twisted it three times around and suffocated it. The tube was partially dead, and partially in the process of dying. That's what the pain was so severe. If it had been ignored, it would have gone gangrenous, and I would have died. Not only that, I stopped breathing during surgery, so the surgery had to be paused while they got me to breathe again.
I have the photo of that cyst burned into my brain now, vile looking thing.
I spent one more night in hospital before I was released, now I'm home and sleepy. I've had to cancel my birthday plans this month so not to hurt myself during recovery, which is a bummer, but I'm glad to be alive and in less pain. I was due to get a tattoo the Sunday I was in hospital at the tattoo convention, but alas, I missed that, and the artist has gone back across the country.
I would still like to get a tattoo this year, but it'll have to wait a few months. If you'd like to help me fund it, I have lots of adoptables for sale - https://toyhou.se/Victor/characters/folder:991825 I'm not sure how long it'll take me to get back into being able to do commissions.
