Though not fully healed, I feel confident enough to post this:
<--skip to 30 seconds


The steps will be slow but I will be back to normal in time ^v^~

A warning to everyone who draws: TAKE BREAKS, DON'T STRESS YOUR HANDS! Or you'll be spending a years worth of recovering like I'm doing, assuming you didn't actually get carpal tunnel. Mine was a symptom of inflamed tissues and junk that wasn't in the tunnel dealt with numbness for almost 3-5 months before it went away I still have inflammation going on but it's healing.

So take a break rest, stretch, warm up before you do. Leezord don't like it when people give up doing things they love like art, especially when it's due to a sudden disability!!

So please take care of yourself, if the damage isn't permanent you will be taking a long time to recover, and it is gonna be some time for me to where I can get back to where I was, as I do feel my work has suffered a bit because of it.

ALSO: Don't wear arm braces when drawing, I'm certain that was how this happend in the first place, ironically to AVOID carpal tunnel! Unless of course the arm-brace is designed for art, but the one I had before wasn't meant for that...if you have a drawing tablet, dun press down to hard either that's what happened to me .3.;

Anyway back to positive note, going to take things slow, and I feel I will be back onto it soon, likely in November maybe but here's hoping 'v'!~

some theme's of me and Justa's avatars, plz enjoy

yeh!

One of my good buddies   jmynstyx is in some financial trouble.
$140 is the goal
Come and get a commish from him, or if you can help in anyway, please do! <: <

So I just woke up not 3-5 mins ago and popped on to see this news come up....

I...honestly have no idea what to say....none at all. To be honest, the most I can say is that I wish him the absolute best to his family given I know the pain of loss myself.

I didn't know the guy personally, but I remember when I first arrived here back in 2008, that was 16 years ago, I had spent less and less time on DeviantArt, and this site felt like the only place at the time were I felt I had ALOT of freedom. things I likely wouldn't of ever been allowed to do elsewhere.

Despite all it's controversial changes and rules. FA still felt like a home to me, and as you can tell I still use it to this day.

I honestly don't have too many thoughts on this except...thank you for providing a place where I can have fun.

Rest in Piece, Dragoneer.

Currently my wrist just feel mild discomfort, I was able to sketch quite a bit yesterday but I think now I'm just waiting for my hand strength to return and f coruse stil feel discomfort but otherwise I'm ok.

^U^~

Now if only I can deal with the stress of shit bugging me elsewhere .-.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/.....chance-stop-it You can read up on it here, but basically this is a censorship bill disguised as a children protection bill.

If you're American, contact you representative, cause clearly the Senate don't give two fucks about you (well neither do) even so look up your state rep and tell them to stop this bill from being voted on if you ever wanna be able to create or self express ever again online.

Anyway imma post another journal on my wrists soon

Do not click something that says: ONLY YOU CAN SEE this there's a blue line that says "Dismiss" Do NOT click that it's actually a bugged link.

IDK how valid this is admittedly, but just be safe ok everyone?

EDIT:

Some addional info:

Well it seems my hands have while not 100 percent better have almost done a 180 from last week. I guess that was just a really bad flare up.

Nothing has changed as far as plans to see a doctor. Just have to put up with the fact that I won't be able to see anyone till the 12th....of August o3o;

still my wrists are comfy enough to RP at least, so I can get back into doing that for now ^U^

SLOWLY of course o3o;

But I am EAGER to post this anyway!

I know shits outta control right now, cause well it's an election year, people are pulling these crazy maneuvers out their asses instead of campaighning fairly, BUT regardless.

I still love the Red,White, and Blue, happy independence day to my fellow Americans, and enjoy one of America's greatest fictional hero themes, well the remix of one of America's greatest fictional heroes, by a not so fictional Japanese company! :D




Happy4th ^U^!~

Leezord is still around. Just trying to take it easy at the moment. Lookin to go see a doctor about my wrists to figure out what's wrong and see if they can treat it at all.

That likely won't be till Aug 12th. On that same note: my wrists flared up on Wednesday and it was pretty painful it was likely a flare-up merely because well I was working on learning to make a game and such and did alot of playtesting with it involving button presses and shit. The pain HAS gone down and in fact yesterday it was more or less uncomfortable. Thankfully the numbness NEVER came back in my fingers or anything though so that's a good thing ^v^!

I'm gonna take it easy for awhile, hopefully what I will get is something to make the inflammation go down and to STAY DOWN and never go back up.

So yeah wish me luck on that. 'v';

Over last week, I felt my hands burning which is a good sign cause it means they are recovering. Infactthe area of inflmmation is shrinking so much there's just these few spots. I'm slowing down my drawing activity for now to make sure we eradicate this one final time!

cutting back on the sugar and other things was helping me a ton with this. While I was hoping to be back to drawing more freuqntly and being able to do colroed works again by next month I guess waiting a couple more months isn't so bad ' v ';

It'll be worth while in the end ^U^!~

Let my sotry be a tail of caution: PLEASE DO TAKE BREAKS AND TRY NOT TO OVERWORK YOURSELF. Like really, DON'T. You can still finish your stuff even if its a bit later than you like, but having to deal with carpal tunnel still worse than not at all.I've been healing sense November of 2023, YOU DO NOT WANNA WAIT THAT LONG!

It started in Hollis and was on its way in our direction, thankfully it didn't make it to us.

Wanted to let you know storms have been acting nuts lately had a really insane weather last night. So be safe everyone. Unfortunately it isn't over for me and   justathereptile

so wish us luck!

  justathereptile avatar for yt: Azurok 'v'!~

Hello 'v' sorry I have slowed down a bit. Last week I noticed this small area of inflammation in my wrists, which has been going on for months now is starting to finally soften and shrink. So I'm slowing down a bit to ensure that it heals fully.

I may try and attempt a sketch this weekend, but we shall see 'v'!

I've come to realize something about my condition: The carpal tunnel was likely a side effect rather than cause, specifically chronic inflammation of sorts, from what I learned one f the causes of that was obviously: Stress.

When I think back at it, I have indeed been stressed; Losing family left and right, things being very difficult to afford, and not accounting for everything basically that happened over the last few years, the shit companies have been doing that I am not a fan of, the absolute madness of the world itself, etc. All congregated and I somehow kept holding onto that rage as it occurred. 2020 - 2023 was THE MOST stressful years of my life, and it shows! I now realize that the inflammation is caused by stress, and LOTS of it.

What made me realize this is: At work there were times where my hand just felt normal like the inflammation just MELTED away and it'd be good until the next morning...I never could understand why until now. At work I would be relaxed because I was enjoying what I as doing. Sure there would be some stressful situations but at the end of the day especially near the end of the workd ay I was relaxed and pleased ^v^!

I've allowed my rage to dominate and take the forefront, while I do sometimes enjoy being the "super angry guy" amongst certain groups of friends (as a fun joke) and my brother being that I am the "fiery twin" heck its part of why I enjoy the element of fire, and why even many of the interpretations of Jeffron are fiery. Unfortunately all this stress and anger has likely caught up to me, and if I ever hope to get better, I have to learn to relax.

The fire doesn't always have to burn so hot. Does that mean I should let the things that piss me off slide? of course not but it doesn't mean I have to get into a rant about it! I can still do things like voting with my wallet when a company does something I don't like, not pay any attention to the stresses unless it's something like good news or something uplifting, and anything beyond my control I'll leave it to the big man to deal with. etc.

But simply not focusing on the things that annoy more make me angry isn't enough. Now granted I've been doing more of a low sugar diet, mainly getting my sugars from the fruits I still love eating, and consuming the most likely candy-ish thing' dark chocolate, all having supposedly anti-inflammatory properties, and exercise more, but it isn't enough.

If I wanna get better, it's imperative I get back to the things I love doing, drawing, gaming etc. I can still ease back into it and I will be, but if I keep doing nothing it will not help! I will be smart about this so yeah!

TLDR; I need to relax so I'm going to try and be more chill despite all the things that annoy me. I need to get more control voer myself and react accordingly.

It may not really be much, but it will be worth it to ease back into it.

I have a feeling my art will have taken a hit due to little of it I've done over the last several months.

Still the inflammation's like...90 percent gone, and its just super mild discomfort here and there 'v'

Hopefully it will go well. I'll be doing a sketch once a week for 2 weeks and 2, and so on easing back into it.

So wish me luck friends ^v^~

Hello everyone, wanted to update everybody on my health situation:

For the last several weeks, my wrist have done the following:
the area of carpal tunnel has opened up, sensation has fully restored at the tips of my fingers.

The inflammation has been gradually shrinking everyday.

The only thing I'm having to put up with, is the soreness.

Basically every centimeter or so, my nervers get release there is a soreness that occurs akin to an oscillating wave. It gets sore for awhile, goes down, feels better. It gets sore, goes down again and feels even better.

I'm not doodling much as of late due to soreness, and also want to reduce risk of harm so it gets better. Basically its all tender right now like how the shin goes sore after running into frame of one's bed.

hopefully by next month I can start sketching again, doing it onc a week ad gradually increase every month. Ill be looking for ways to adapt and avoid future injury in the meantime.

That is all ^v^~! leezord hopes you all have a good year.

2023 joins 2021, 2022, as one of the worst years of my life. While good things have occurred like: This being probably the record of most colored works in my gallery, it also is the year that Armored Core 6 came out which was a series I got into with 4Answer and waited desperately to get another release.

But none of that compares to all the worst shit that has happened for me and   justathereptile .

Our father, older brother, and our pet lizard...all died within the first quarter of the year. I've noticed admittedly how bad it has demotivated me for so long I eventually picked up speed yet again, but even so losing so much in such a short time, I wasn't even sure if I'd ever recover. The health scare with what I thought at the time was skin cancer(thankfully it wasn't.)

And just last month getting hit with carpal tunnel but thankfully it's healing and in time I'll be better, doing some adjustments in turn to minimize it happening again.

Though I feel I have no reason for optimism, I am still hopeful that 2024 will be better. I usually end these with a song from MK64 celebrating, but given how its been this year well....yeah.

Here's hoping 2024 WILL be a good year if not better.

Hello wanted to update everyone: my symptoms are getting better I'm occasionally doing workouts for my hands and wrists so I can possibly avoid any re-injury in the future. 'v'

I'm going to attempt to sketch again around Christmas, and if I'm not fully healed by then I'm gonna give it another month to see where I am at.

I'm also doing some ergonomics to help improve my situation as well.

Wish me luck ^U^!

Merry Christmas!

My hands are good enough that i can use a mouse without symptoms.

Drawing is gonna take me awhile, I'll try to do some sketching on the week of Christmas to see where I am at (I will still be careful ovo;)

Until then ya might be seeing some renders and stuff for awhile until I can at least sketch again.

So just so ya know I have not given up and leezord never will give up!

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't been active the last couple weeks. sorry for inconsistancy im typing with my left hand only.

Last friday I injured myself.

While working on the next gal type, I ended up hurting myself in a way. Was trying to draw with my shoulder and did something..not sure what but my fingers went numb, I didn't feel any pain though. Just numbness. The next day, I felt some pain in my elbow for a time and numbness still.

By tuesday i felt a dull healing pain go up to my arm, it started in the wrist.

Today the pain is gone, the numbess is barely there, but i still have weaknes in my hand.

Im gonna be working on rebuilding strength in it for the next few weeks, but yeah that means phase 1 of the gal types will be delayed till maybe febuary. till then ill be stickig to sketches once I am fully revovered and work my way back to coloring again. I assumef it was carpal but i hD NO PAIN, AND I'VE BEEN RECOVRING VERY QUICKLY OVER THESE 2 WEEKS.

Anyway thats all. wish me luck! ^u^
