Update on hand-injury

Added 2022-05-10 14:15:27 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone - I hope you are having a pleasant May!

I've been on a pretty strict no-drawing-and-no-lengthy-typing rest for the past week, trying to let my hand recover. It's helped, but unfortunately, I'm still not okay. It seems to be a combination of mild carpal tunnel symptoms, and an inflamation of the joint in my thumb triggered by over-work, as best as I can guess. Unfortunately, these things take some time to heal, and things might be quiet around here for most of the month. I have a bunch of things that I'd love to be working on, but the injury kind of prevents me from doing so.

I will be resting as much as possible, and if things don't improve, I'll be seeking medical attention of some kind.

I feel pretty silly for having ended up here again, since this isn't the first time I've gotten an RSI, but sometimes circumstances kind of conspire against you. If *you* are currently pushing yourself a bit too hard, I am begging you: stop. Rest. Take care of yourself.

I'll check in here regularly, so if you have any questions or something you'd like me to know, please go ahead and tell me.

I'll keep you posted on my recovery progress.
