So here's the thing guys: I hate not being able to draw (I mean, it's certainly not for lack of inspiration -I literally just found out five minutes ago that THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW D. GRAY-MAN ANIME in July and it's taking absolutely all the restraint I have not to draw something from the new trailer!!!!)


 
But I also hate not being able to play video games. Or play racquetball. Or paint. Or lift things. Or use the computer for more than twenty minutes because typing it too painful. This June will mark two years since my wrist injury and I am so done with it. You don't realize how often you use your wrist/hands for basically EVERYTHING, and it's really getting to me. The physical therapy hasn't helped, the MRI's have shown nothing and now I've finally been given the opportunity to get a wrist arthroscopy so they can surgically go inside my hand and tell me what exactly is wrong and what they can do to fix it (if anything). I'm just at that point that I want to know what's going on. 

I had to quit the major part of my job last week because it's literally too painful for me to work 8 hours a day at a computer anymore. I'm thankful they've still kept me at the company just as a part-time photographer because that's not as painful for me, but still. I know I'm going to be struggling for an income soon enough, but continuing on with the level of pain I deal with during my everyday job as a Production Assistant editing photos, typing data, etc. I don't believe would be a healthy decision for me.

That all being said, I'm getting the surgery on June 17th and all I ask is that you send me all of your well-wishes that they'll find something they can fix and I can finally start putting my life back together after two whole years. Not to mention so I can start drawing ALL THE TIME again!! (Drawing in half-hour increments only about once a week is so not my style xp)

In other news, I've started re-watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (just watched the episode "Separate Destinations" and it's just as awesome and as great as I remember but it bothers me that it's in parts on Netflix instead of seasons haha (even though I know that's how they originally came out). I just like knowing I'm on episode 19 instead of "Part 2: Episode 6"
