dolariSo, what's going on with Jenn. Got a call from my Doctor about the results from the MRI. I don't have a bulged disc, I have THREE. I need to call a spine specialist for injections tomorrow, and we'll find out when that will be.
I've heard good things about the injections, and they should take care of most of the pain. But my doctor said between this and the misaligned vertebrae, I'm looking at surgery in my future. When? Not sure, it all depends on how well the injections work.
Why does this affect my projects? The comics and writing are all done at my computer. Sitting down, versus standing, causes minor pain in my neck. Lifting my arm (specifically my left arm) begin hurting, tingling and if I hold it up too long, pain all down my left arm, shoulder blade and neck.
So I can't work on stuff anymore than a few minutes at a time. Cold compresses help, but not the computing stuff. So all my writing and drawing projects are on hold. I find I can type more if I do it with my bluetooth keypad and drop my arms, but that's like 30 minutes of computing time versus 15.
For a year that was supposed to have me rebooting all my creative projects, as well as start a really lucrative project with a friend, I may need to stop and try again later. :/
