hand injury update: slowly improving

i wanted to update you all to ease worries a little. i think the resting and medication and ice packs have been improving my hand injury, and it seems the pain is less than last month. some days the pain is almost gone, and other days it flares up again unbearably for a bit. ive been told this happens to others who have had this kind of injury. improvement is happening slowly but surely, i think! i still cant draw or write or even use the mouse for more than a minute or the pain comes back, so i'm still unable to do any work yet, but progress is happening.

I was able to work out a way to pay less for the doctor bill which i was very lucky about, it turns out once i explained to them how poor i am they were able to make an exception for the bill, this is a surprise to me that it was possible! i have also been sent very helpful donations from a few people which have lightened the worry about that a lot! im so thankful for that!

To be completely transparent I still do not make enough money per month to pay my bills so i am still not doing ok financially, but this is an ongoing thing unrelated to my injury. I am looking into what i might have to do about that soon.

other than that, i cant think of what else to include in this update, but thank you to the folks who have been so understanding through this. thank you.
