lucoSo my back pain.
It's actually an aggravated injury from what those guys did to me in December. It seems that with all the flying, conventions and running tables at them (which means lifting, carrying and standing, squatting and lots of stress on body) with little rest between has finally caught up.
My lower back and hipbone area will be damaged and show signs of strain and stress for a few more years, but right now, I need to carefully stretch it out, do the exercises he showed me and take it easy. Which means, no more Art Tables for a while and no heavy lifting and basically, I will be doing nothing but art.
*sigh*
I knew there as lasting emotional damage, but i didn't even think of the physical. But, I refuse to let it get me down and so today will be all about fluffy, sappy, happy art! So if people wanna send out prompts (i make no promises about getting them done since I am horrible at that sometimes) I'm more then happy to have some motivation.
Edit: For those new to my journal who want to know what happened, here is the link to what happened since i cannot bring myself to answer the question.

Date: 2009-08-13 12:36 am (UTC)I really hope you recover soon. I finally read the post in March about what happened, and I cannot imagine what you've been through. But when I met you at Otakon, I thought you were one of the most alive people I've ever met, and I hope to know you for many more years. =)
As for the allergies...my best friend is allergic to milk. It's not as bad as your plethora of deadly substances, but milk is in a lot of foods. Even a brief touch with something containing milk will give her an allergic reaction, and what's bad is that lately, her reactions have been postponed. My birthday cake this year was actually bought by her dad, from a bakery that made milk-less cakes, but she was afraid to eat it because it was made in the same environment as cakes with milk and she wouldn't feel a reaction until much too late. She's constantly on the alert, and I really worry for when she goes to college. >__< But anyways, I know a little bit of what you go through, because I'm constantly on the lookout for my friend. It can get miserable, the restrictions (she's only eaten chocolate chip cookies once, and then the company that made them stopped).
Ending on a lighter note, you should bring a lackey (I'd volunteer) with you to cons so you don't have to strain your back. ^__^
