(outoffire; Alrighty since I lost my first follower and I’m over my initial goofiness because gods forbid I have fun on here oh dear, I’ll elaborate a bit more on why I said ‘bad news’ earlier. Elaborate explanation of my personal health and how it affects my RP activity under the cut. Thanks in advance if you’re planning to read it; you’re sweethearts.)
I’ve been recovering from a severe ankle injury for the better part of—gee, it’s almost four years now. I’ve been sent from hospital to hospital only to eventually hear an academic specialist tell me it’s become an inoperable thing so I’m having to do really intensive rehabilitation/physical therapy training and hope it all works out for the best. I’ve been on really strong painkillers for this problem and I was relieved when things went so well with training that I managed to gradually get rid of the painkillers (without withdrawal even, which was a really awesome added bonus!) and my doctor even told me I could start riding my horses again!
As of a couple days, however, I’ve had a relapse. I’m back on painkillers, trying to stay off walking aids and out of a wheelchair and obviously I can’t ride anymore.
What does this mean for my RP activity? Well, hopefully, not much. As I have to take things easy, I’m trying to force myself to stay home more and do less (which—the pain helps with that), but while I’m trying not to take an awful lot of painkillers, sometimes the pain’s too overwhelming to go without. If I do take painkillers, I might get sleepy (or fall asleep without intending to do so), ill, zone out or a combination of those. I also might be a little loopy, so forgive me if my posts seem a little out of my usual style.
I’m trying, though. I know I’m difficult to stick with sometimes, I know a whole slew of out of character posts is not what you guys are looking for, but what you don’t see is me sitting here every day trying to get through my drafts. I’m always extremely excited to get started on my threads because wow I have a bunch of really awesome partners to interact with, but sometimes, my mind’s so cluttered I can’t write more than a few words. That disappoints me—so all I can do is hope I don’t disappoint you guys.
So here’s that warning, so you guys don’t get your hopes up with me. I can’t give you any certainty but that I appreciate every single one of you and will always try to give you my very best replies.
