Updates on injury/healing so far: Pain, Progress, and Setbacks

Hello all, thank you for your continued support through everything this last year, I truly appreciate it and i dont take your patience for granted.

So far youve seen that I was able to draw something new for once, and it actually didnt cause me much problems or much fatigue which im thankful for. However, im sure youve noticed i havent drawn any new pencil sketch pages yet, and the reason for that is that holding a pencil is still uncomfortable and draining on my wrist somehow. I have been able to draw bits and pieces and i think it will just be a matter of continuing to rest my wrists and slowly carefully practice pencil again, as the tries ive had have been kind of shakey and i dont want to send out an inferior artwork when i normally do much better.

This inability to do pencil sketches is also why i havent reinstated the sketch requests just yet either, though i have not forgotten it nor have i forgotten the previous ones i havent fulfilled yet.

I am still not healed yet and i actually have to go to a scheduled appointment in a few days so that they can scan my arm and see whats actually going on internally. its going to cost me a stupid amount of money, but thankfully some friends have donated to allow me to pay for it, which im extremely thankful for.

A bit of bad news as well is that 2 days ago, i woke up with extreme pain in my wrists. i had a nightmare that night (something thats been occurring almost every night for the past half year) which i have no control over obviously, and despite wearing a wrist brace to sleep nowadays, i had apparently clenched my fists all night in my sleep, straining and damaging the tendon connecting the thumb to the wrist badly. It has been very tender and the pain hits every once in a while and its difficult to find a comfortable resting position at times it doesnt hurt very much at the moment of me typing this but i can feel the pain ready to flase up again if im not careful. I'm putting ice on it, taking painkillers, and not moving it at all for now in the hopes that this re-injury will heal. Im very saddened by this as it feels like it was an unavoidable freak accident :( Anyway, wish me luck on all of this... I'm not out of the woods yet.
