On the fascinating subject of my arm...

Boring health update ahead, but thought you might wanna know how things are going, haha.

I finally went to a physical therapist for a consult and after he listened to the whole history, tested my grip strength, did some poking/prodding/twisting on my wrist and asked a lotta questions, he feels confident I'm dealing with moderate tendinitis, median nerve impingement, and unfortunately atrophied muscle from too much rest and not having a regular tendon-loading exercise routine. Welp. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Live and learn, I guess?

He's got me starting a strict routine now and we'll see in a few weeks if it's helping! In the meantime, I hope to stick with 2 pages each update and keep working on extras for you guys. I know I say it all the time, but thank you so much for all your support during the Great Tendon Disaster of 2016. I hope in a few months this is all under control and general stretching/exercise will be all I need to stay relatively pain-free and drawing! :)
