Soooo, turns out what I really have is a pinched nerve in my neck, which is slowly improving with an antinflammatory prescription and ice and just, I don’t know, hope. Which means I theoretically can be sewing or drawing or whatever but it does still hurt. And also I’m trying to get used to holding things higher so I don’t spend long periods with my head bent down, and also fucking 2020 just has me in another slump.
But I did get a little closer to catching up on the stitchalong, though I’m still well behind. I promise it’s not this wavy in real life, the cat keeps napping on top of it and pulling it out of the frame and I’ve given up on fixing that.
Also, I always intended to upload more of the major arcana from my tarot deck to Redbubble and Teepublic, and then I just never did. So since that’s a thing I can do without hurting much, I’m going to try to get on top of that. Keep an eye out if you desperately wanted stickers or t-shirts or whatnot of deeply weird tarot cards.
Forgive me if I’m repeating myself (I tend to forget who I’ve written to), but have you looked into Rolfing? It’s a different type of body work that addresses connective tissue and fascia, rather than muscle as massage does.
The body issues you describe are very similar to my own. My rolfer has given my life back to me.
(Ask if they’ll barter…)
You have, and it’s something I may look into when we’re not in the middle of a pandemic that makes being in a closed room with someone for an extended period of time a huge risk. Thanks though.
