Hey guys, I am really touched you noticed I'm gone, even if I'm quite a new guy:)

Anyway, I seem to have neurosomethingsomething, pinch, inflammation and generally some other happy stuff, which goes from my neck and screwes up the whole nerve branch, which means all of my three arm nerves (radial, median and ulnar) are essentially fucked up... I've done emng, xr, nothing's pinched in the arm/hand, neck is ok in the xr, but I would probably need to do the mr too. Currently I am undergoing medical and physical therapy and they even put me those tapes you see on volleyball guys (and yes, I had to shave my arm lol, so now it's really funny when I take bread with my left hairy hand and give money to the baker with my baby smooth right hand). I am NOT responding very well/fast to the therapy, which is a bit sad, not to mention that I'm pretty drained mentally because of all that, I forgot what it's like to have normal feeling in the arm and to actually draw something. And all that, of course, when I finally decided to push it and go for the two year skill dash and bloom like a super skilled anime flower in the end (that sounded girly lol).
Well, the bad thing (beside all this lol) is that there is absolutely not even a slightest prediction on when I'll recover. It could be in a month, it could be for much longer than that. I DO HOPE I get to at least start some light sketching in the near future, although that's always a catch 22 in the long run... the somewhat good thing is, that I asked the doctor if this could may be some epic mumbo jumbo shit which will cause my hand to whither and die and for me to pursue a new golden career in babysitting or something, and they said no (which for me personally isn't very reassuring as I've had my share of "aahh it was blahblahitis after all". But the level of damage done/compression, whether it's chronic or acute (it's chronic, I think) and other blahblabh factors would certainly affect the time and quality of my rehabilitation. Till now I am not overly satisfied, as some people with the same thing can go and play basketball viciously after like three physical therapies and a couple of medications. Others seem to take MUCH longer...
Blahdiblah, nothing productive from me this time, also, I'm typing with my left hand (in the meantime, before I finally went to the doctor, the thing seem to progressed so now I do things like both turn the wheel and shift gears with my left hand lol) so this took a while. But I guess it was rude of me not to update you on what's going on after all - in my defense, I didn't think you would notice. So, even if I did it before, I must again apologize for the potential lack of activity or lateness in responses, or laconic posts:)
Long story short, I hope (but it's not very convincing) I could start to shyly draw something like 30 mins a day a month from now and that I would get to full steam some several months from now, but I doubt it.
Love you guys, I'll check the forums and I'll update as soon as I can and thanks for bumping the thread and asking about me:D
