【新刊準備】現状報告です（進捗と腰（坐骨神経痛））

円卓のねことLordOfNekoの皆様いつも応援ご支援ありがとうございます٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶…大変お待たせしていて申し訳有りません！ まず今回はエピソード１と２でVol.1としまして、あと数ページ（４ページ前後）で１がまとまり次第まとめてアップ致します。後半になる２はこのペースだと年を跨ぐ見込みですがクオリティと皆さんの満足度に値するようなページ数を優先したいので何卒ご理解をば…であります。いつものように印刷所の締切が無いと良くも悪くも…ゆとりが生まれる反面油断もしがちで…腰痛の回復に合わせて今気合を入れ直しているところです。 ここからは申し開き枠なのですが10月の終わり辺りから腰（お尻からふともも）がチクチクしていまして、だんだんとチクチクがズキッ…グサッ…といった感じに激しくなり、先月にはとうとう椅子に座るだけでもも裏がトゲトゲのツタで締め付けられるような激痛が走るようになりました。まず整形外科でレントゲン、なぜか大病院の泌尿器科に送られてCTスキャンを撮るも異常なし。この時点でおそらくはどちらにも写らない椎間板ヘルニア系と自己診断しました。MRIには映るらしいのですが…ヘルニアはどのみち治まるまで寝かすしか無いようなので姿勢に気をつけつつ、座っていて痛んできたら横になるを１、２週間ほど続けていたら激痛の頻度が下がってきてようやく色々な作業が再開出来ているといったところです。どうも猫背かそれに近い姿勢が地雷のようですが描いてる途中はどうしても避けられないので適宜背中を弓なりにしたりしてバランスを合わせています。 酷い時は下着や靴下を履くのも一苦労で、腰をやったことある方はわかると思うのですが気が滅入ってしょんぼり状態。ようやく仰向けに起き上がれるようになって走れるようにもなってきたのでギアを上げて参ります！ Thank you to everyone at Round Table Neko and LordOfNeko for your continued support ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶… We apologize for keeping you waiting so long! First of all, this time I will make Volume 1 with Episodes 1 and 2, and I will upload them all together as soon as I have a few more pages (around 4 pages). The second half, 2, is expected to span over a year at this pace, but I would like to prioritize quality and the number of pages that will satisfy everyone, so I appreciate your understanding. For better or for worse, not having a deadline at the printing shop as usual...it gives me some leeway, but it also makes me more likely to let my guard down...I'm currently trying to regain my motivation as I recover from my lower back pain. From here on out, I've been having a tingling sensation in my lower back (from my buttocks to my thighs) since around the end of October, and the tingling has gradually become more intense, like a throbbing... tingling feeling, and last month I was finally able to sit on a chair. However, I started to experience severe pain in the back of my thighs, as if they were being squeezed by thorny ivy. First, an X-ray was taken at the orthopedic clinic, and for some reason I was sent to the urology department of a large hospital, where they took a CT scan, but there were no abnormalities. At this point, I self-diagnosed that I probably had a herniated disc that didn't show up in either of these cases. It seems that it will show up on the MRI, but it seems like the only option for a hernia is to lie down until it heals, so if you pay attention to your posture and lie down if it starts to hurt while sitting for about a week or two, the frequency of severe pain will go down. Now, we are finally able to resume various tasks. It seems that a hunched back or similar posture is a minefield, but I can't avoid it while drawing, so I arch my back as needed to balance it out. When it's really bad, it's a struggle to put on underwear or socks, and as anyone who has had lower back pain will know, it can be depressing and depressing. I've finally started to be able to stand up on my back and run, so I'm going to gear up!
