Well, it's been a while since I've been around and I apologize for that. I've been dealing with some injuries, as well as some other stuff. But I'm really hoping to get back to some artwork real soon!
After having some issues with my computer a while back, it turned out to be the hard drive that was going bad. But unfortunately, as soon as I dropped in a new 1T SSD hard drive, my Division Chief dropped a hundred pound storm drain lid on my hand!
I was actually lucky not to loose my middle finger to the first knuckle. I lacerated it almost fully around the knuckle, and though it's pretty much healed now, it still doesn't feel "normal" as it did, Mostly just not as flexible as it used to be. Still feels a little tight when I make a fist. ... A couple months later while my hand was still healing, I apparently did something to my right knee after pulling 3 days of long shifts. By the end of the week I couldn't put any weight on my leg. - The folks over at the Urgent Care I ended up going to informed me that I had a bad inner meniscus strain and that I would need physical therapy. After nearly 8 weeks, they told me it seemed to be progressing well, but that it would just take some time to get back to normal.
I'm now just getting to where neither injury is bothering me as much, but I still have to watch not to turn or twist the wrong way, else my knee reminds me it's still not 100%. Dealing with all this as well as my wife going through her own issues, I guess I just got bummed out for a while with everything going on and haven't been doing much of anything. But it's starting to look up some as of late. I finally got the promotion they've been wanting me to take over and I'm just settling into the new office and getting things together. ... Also, after dropping in the new hard drive, it would only start in Safe Mode? So I needed to go back and do some tweaking, but with a busted up hand I didn't even bother trying to fool with it at the time. So now I just decided to order a new computer, transfer everything over and give the older one to my wife once I reset it. The new computer is supposed to be in later this week or early the next and I've really been wanted to sit down and do some artwork. So I'm hoping to have something going real soon.
Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble. Wanted to mainly stop in and just say hello to everyone! I've surely missed you guys.
