Let things be

It's been a reaaally long long time, well, to be honest I guess I'll be taking a break form the blog.

The reason is that I'm realizing that typing in the keyboard is more harmful for my arm than I thought. Is not extremely painful but yeah, when I type too much, I feel weaker so I'm trying to avoid any kind of typing activity. That means I'll might abandon this blog.

But I don't think I'll do it. I won't update often at all, but I will keep using it, however I feel there's no point in using it for injuries anymore since the situation is been very stable lately.

The other day I was playing with an anatomical atlas and I found that my problem might be the flexorus digitorum profundus. to be more specific, the connection of that muscle and the ulna. I feel that's exactly where my pain in the elbow is.

My hands didn't hurt lately, well this week they felt a bit of pain after playing guitar but it when away the next day and it was just a little. I'm suspecting maybe the ligaments near the wrist were the cause of pain.

Also my wiimote is working! so I played wii.. and well I know I shouldn't but I try to accommodate so I make the minimum effort in each movement and in the end I feel is helping me to move my arm for long time. In other words is a good exercise. I'm not 100% sure thoug but I don't feel extra pain I think.

Since the last update I feel I'm getting more and more active, even my knees and stuff are getting a bit better.

I think the next time I feel to update maybe I'll talk more about myself I miss doing that in a blog.

Mighty

I know I said I would be blogging more often but I didn't :/

Anyway lately my legs are feeling better, specially my knees. I bought something more comfortable for my hands and I've been drawing more often.

I'm enjoying drawing again, I'm playing with photoshop to practice human anatomy. I draw a esqueleton tracing from a picture and then I try to draw the whole body. After that I compare how close or far I was from the original picture. Is a lot of fun for me, like playing game. I didn't feel like that about drawing in a long time.

Yesterday I put a finger in my pants and it seems I did it too fast and I felt a sudden pain and electricity in my finger. Now I touch that finger in my left hand and it feels very sensitive. Not really painful but is like electricty so the nerve was hit. Anyway it doesn't bother me much.

I hope I can keep drawing at this pace, I might be able to do something nice.

An unexpected surprise

This time I really left this blog behind :( this is bad, I'll try to revive it now.

Anyway days has been the same as usual, In general I'm feeling a bit better I think, in general. But I've been skipping some exercises, I wonder if some of them are not so good. Specially the stretches, I really have no problem with activity stuff. Is the nerve that feels bad with the stretch.

However something bothers me a bit, my heart feels a little ache sometimes. I guess maybe is because I don't sleep very well so I'm trying to do it.

I feel my singing improved  a lot the last week but I'm also becoming more fussy about the quality of what I do. So I won't be uploading stuff soon. Also my driving skills are getting better but is still hard for me to concentrate in so many things.

And I keep confused about which artistic  name should I use :P

Some things have changed so my priority is make drawings to sell. I tried to re take 3D learning and I think I should, but I have to draw as much as I can these days.

I'm so happy, cause today I found my friends

These days has been so cold! Fortunately I've escaped from sickness. It's like I've been almost sick but in the end I feel fine.

My body in general feels fine lately.. well not my stomach, but everything else feels so much better.

Also lately I've been studying a bit the median nerve and now I'm almost sure that my problem is just that nerve. Well, pain in my hands might be disconnected from that, but most the pain I've felt is connected to the median nerve, so now I'm not sure if I really had any trouble in my tendons. Maybe it was just the median nerve producing pain all this time. Or maybe pain itself made my muscles strain.

I guess it's nice to know that maybe my muscles and tendons are probably doing ok. Because of that I've been drawing more often lately.

However I always use braces in my hands. Even if my hands feel perfectly I feel if I leave them, the pain will come back.

I've been singing a lot too, I discovered a lot of new things to do with my voice, however, now I feel singing is harder than before. I mean, I feel more relaxed and but is really hard to coordinate everything correctly to reach the sound I desire. I though it was a little more easy :P

Now that I think about it, this year has been like a learning year for me. I don't mean that I tried to learn things now, because I always do, but is like finally I'm understanding so many things. Is like a year of epiphanies.

internet killed the TV star

wow, this time I really forgot the blog.

I've been kind of busy, I'm trying to draw everyday, at least a couple of minutes, and trying to play guitar, and also I've had some projects to do, so I've been doing things.

Anyway my health issues haven't changed much. Mayb after playing guitar I felt some shapr pain, but it was gone quickly.

So things are fine I think however sometimes I have to do a lot in the day and I forget about my excercises, that's not good.

My TV died last night :c I feel sad becasue it was an analogue TV, and they are getting hard to find. It bring me so many memories from the 80s and 90's.

I walk alone

I feel sleepy today so I'll be short.

My body felt fine in general today. that's weird :p but yeah, only my elbow bothered me a bit when I was drawing and then the rest of the night, but it seems now there are times when my elbow doesn't hurt at all. So that's good. It's been a long time since that.

I want to work more but I know is not a good idea, until I feel is safe to do it. I'm feeling I'm drawing better these days, even if is just a little everyday, it gives me the feeling that my skills are not the same. I really don't understand how can I get better without using the pencil.

Be water, my friend

Today I woke up with no pain at all. Last night I used my TENS unit in my elbow and I guess it was a good thing.

So today I wanted to draw and paint as much as I could. I made a Chinese mountain using ink and kept working in a digital project. By the way, I discovered the existence of Krita 3.0 . I loved the software, it has many illustration options and you can do traditional animation as well. And it's free, I think is awesome. Unfortunately it still doesn't beat the vectorial tools of SAI, so my lineart will be still made in SAI.

After some drawing in the PC my elbow started to hurt. Not much thou but it seems the modifications I've made in my pencil are not enough. It helped me to understand how the pain is produced thou, maybe I'll find the way soon.

I still can't go to sleep earlier as I wish, can't change that bad habit.
