LETS GET PHYSICALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
OK! I start physical therapy on Tuesday of next week. I am so excite.
They are giving me a prescription for diclofenac and I am going to attempt to wean MYSELF off the pain meds. I'm crossing everything I have hoping I don't get sick. Its been approximately 14 hours since my last one and I'm sweating like a beast. Gonna have to try to break it down to to once a day, then possibly half a day if I keep getting sick. SInce I've already gone down so much, it may not be that bad.
I do still have good meds for bad days but I want to wait til I'm fully off the opiods before I consider taking them. I AM still having pain, but I think that its gotten to the point where its like more manageable and the med combo I can take will probably be enough to keep me mobile. Doc said I can also possibly get shots.
Saturday I'm hoping to take yoga again (I've really missed it) with Brian if he'll do it with me. There's a studio on 116th that I like but there may be a place closer that does Hatha. I've been given the go ahead by my doctor to be fully active again. This means that I can call Methodist Sports back about my hips and get that shit back into business. Maybe we can float on Sunday.
If things go well, here's a tentative plan for the week:
Wed - Lunch with Brandon, Art/cam in the afternoon, get photos taken/uploaded, possibly start sketching for mural*, get ring light set up*, dinner, work.
Thu- Work training, go to Brandon's (possibly take some art stuff with me), work
Fri- Home from Brandon's, art/cam Etsy stuff, dinner, laser tag (for exercise) work
Sat- Yoga, do stuff with Brian (ingress, games) clean up a bit, maybe -play some Xbox (kinect stuff), possibly reorganize some studio stuff. Check in at work.
Sun- Float, dinner, work
Mon- Photos/Upload in the afternoon, dinner, work
Tues- Physical Therapy, Tears for fears, work.
*Probably won't get done all week but I can hope.
I've been slowly but surely ramping up art production. By the end of this week I'm hoping to have a few things ready for Etsy. I made a big decision about my postcards for Patreon and how I'm going to do them and I've ordered the first few months worth. You can see more about that here: Patreon stuff!
I now have an instagram, so if you want to see my stuffs, you can find me at instagram.com/belinda.short
We're going to be in October soon, which is the busiest month for us. We are going to the murder mystery at Kelly's Island of course, but we're also going to Raj of the Garage up in Sandusky the week before. Since I've been given the go ahead for physical stuff I've got Valrayvn in my future. This is also the season I generally feel the most comfortable with the weather and my mood so I will be trying to be as productive as possible, scale back some of the gaming and sitting arouond and really get the art stuff managed in such a way its normal to do it regularly. I keep trying get on a good sleep schedule but its just not happening the way I'd like for it to, between doctor's visits, work meetings and random shit I have to do during the day.
I worked on this before work, and its now been about 28 hours since my last opiod. I'm still holding together okay but I was a bit slower at work. I won't lie, I'm not feeling well at all, I feel like I'm being turned inside out, but I think I can do this. I'm sweating and cold and I'm holding in vomit.
These lyrics just keep running through my head.
