So...
Hey, guys.
So, after three months on crutches, I'm finally (slowly, very slowly) starting PT and such. This mostly involves, for the first couple of weeks, putting small amounts of weight on my bad foot whilst still using the crutches, and rubbing lotion into my foot several times a day. Slowly going down to only using one crutch, getting used to that and then actually going in to see the physical therapist a couple of times a week. I'm dreading that last part, mostly because last time I went to a physical therapist, my doctor had been wrong about what was wrong with my foot so not only did it cause me extreme pain, it also made the actual injury worse. That was over a year ago, though, so. This is the new injury which isn't as bad and yet somehow manages to be more painful - ugh.
Anyway, finally starting to do something about it is exciting to me because it means that there's a future in which I will be able to walk and do things for myself and... oh, heaven. No joke, lol. But it also comes with downsides, mostly being that I'm in a lot more pain because of it, and it's hard to concentrate. The medicine that I've been taking was doing a great job before I started the minor PT, but now that I've started it's not doing the job and I've been driven to tears several times over the last few days.
Okay, but I am whining to livejournal for a reason which is that the pain is making it really, really difficult to concentrate, so when I try to write... it doesn't go so well. I wrote one small piece of crack that was painful to reread a few hours later and I'll spare you all the horror. Trying to work on Voice of Rage and Ruin has been absolutely fruitless. I am going to keep trying to write every day but I wanted to let you all know that there was a legitimate reason for why it's taking me so long to get the next chapter up, I'm not just slacking. I am definitely not abandoning it or anything, but for the next couple of weeks it's probably going to be really hard for me to get anything done.
Please don't give up on the story, it WILL get finished if I have to just chop my foot off to manage it, lol.
Thank you for listening to me ramble and rant, it's appreciated!
