Hi everyone!
I just wanted to give you a quick update on my work situation with my wrists:
I had a bad flareup of RSI at the end of last month while I was doing my end-of-month crunch, and while resting my left hand I used my right a lot to compensate, so… Yeah, guess what happened. That one also had a flareup! Fun.
On Monday I was told to totally take the day off.
On Tuesday I did some much needed admin and then the Owncast stream (but that was just meaningless chatter, so no RSI risk there!)
On Wednesday I tried to get back to typing things (hey, it’s admin stuff, it can’t be bad, oh oops, actually typing is also bad). I think I did a quick commission rough at this point too?
On Thursday I realised that I really needed to actually rest my hands properly, so I didn’t even go to my computer all day (maybe I was on my phone? I don’t remember, oops!)
Aaand that brings us to today, Friday. I am trying to answer emails and check messages for anything pressing, but even typing this out for a few minutes is annoying my tendons, so I clearly haven’t allowed myself to rest enough.
THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I want to draw!
But I will take ALL of tomorrow off – I am going out of town with Husbeard, so there will be no temptation to sneak in any work. Hopefully after that I can get back to it again.
Sorry to everyone who’s waiting on commissions and things – I’m going to be incorporating proper hand stretches for artists into my daily routine so I can take care of my hands better. 🙁
RSI ain’t no joke – I’ll be back soon <3
