As the 4 people who actually read this blog know, last week I didn't do This Week in Bwillett Comics. And as the 17 people who read Sorcerer's Apprentice knows, I didn't post a page on Friday. And the 3 people who read Queen of Games have pretty much given up hope.
The reason for this is because my arm has been acting up very badly again. For the past 4 months I have been combating tendonitis. I've been doing physical therapy and wearing corrective devices and hot and cold treatments to try to help myself heal. In addition to this I have been not doing anything. For 2 of the 4 months I did not type, cook, clean, make my own bed, read, play games, draw, write or even comb my hair with my left hand. Despite the expansive downtime my arm has not healed. I thought I was fine. My leg is healed, I can almost walk as far as I used to, no pain whatsoever. My arm, however, even with minimal exercise and careful control continues to throb. It has not improved one bit since January. In fact, it appears to have gotten worse. I'm in pain all the time, and my arm seizes up to a point I can't uncurl my fingers. The sore tendons are gone, but my arm is in pain anyway.
The reason I'm revealing this information is that I will be going on another hiatus. I need to learn what is happening. I will be going to a doctor again to try to figure out what is happening. I am sorry about the problems this is causing you, my fans, but at this point I am suffering just too much.
