reymonkey: (Meatballs of Doom)
[personal profile] reymonkey
Skimmed the Flist today but didn't really respond to anything. I've had worse weekends but I've had better ones too. On the downside my tendonitis is attempting to kill my left wrist. In the past it's mostly been the right wrist, which is the mouse hand so that's annoying, but the left? I can't write, draw, type without at least some pain. This started last week and I got a brace, and it's improving slowly, but... painfully slowly. I can't draw. Damnit. My entire identity is wrapped up in my ability to draw. Sad but true.
Good-ish note: The Dentist visit yesterday turned out to basically cost me nothing (I had a credit from the assessment), and they're pretty sure I won't need a root canal, just a filling. Apart from the giant cavity of doom in the one tooth I was sure of, I'm apparently in amazing shape for someone with no dentist visits in about 8 years. The dental student said I must have good genetics. He was a big beefy guy, which made me feel better about his being probably younger than me, somehow. I'm not old enough yet to accept my dentist/doctor/etc being younger than me, damnit. If I still don't feel like an adult... yurgh. Anyway, the appointment two weeks from now scares me, because that's the date of the big scary dental drill.
Wrist not doing too bad but this is the most typing I've done at a stretch since it started.
Will post again when it seems safe to. *HUGS* to everybody.

I hope your wrist gets better! And I hope you just need a filling and not a root canal. Fillings are quick and relatively painless.

I don't really have a preference on the background of the drawing. A nice blue sky? Not the swirly professional photographer background, please, that's always creeped me out. ;)

Are they really? Because Ihave never had a cavity before and I'm a little freaked out. Isn't there some kind of shot in the gums or something? And a drill. There's definitely a drill in my tooth involved. Ugh.

;D Creeeepy! No, seriously though, this is a drawing and whatever goes. I can do sky, but I can also do... I don't know, godzilla or t-rex or fish in the sky. Think about it. I'm gonna see if I can do some work on it today, but the background will probably be the last thing I do. Because I'm backwards that way.

Oh, that's good news about the dentist visit! Fingers crossed for no root canal.

It is actually, comparatively speaking. I thought I had more than one cavity developing, but apparently the rest is coffee stains.

Go me.

That was probably TMI.

Thats great new's and I know you will do fine, fillings are noisy but other wise not to bad. I think with you wirst its the weather I have the same in my knees as well I take B12 and it helps alot. Good to hear that other than that things are fine.

I've never had one, so I'm trying not to freak out.
It could be weather that triggered the wrist... I have tendonitis in both wrists, and have for years, but I can't figure out what I did to set this off other than the mad pace of drawing. But I've never had my drawing or writing set it off before. Dunno.
B12, hunh? I'm bad about taking vitamin supplements, but I'll see if we've got any...

Yeah, their prices are damn good, even if I wish I didn't need it at all.
