HI all. Just a brief update on everything health-related. For the past 4 weeks now, I have been seeing a chiropractor, and working out the "kinks". The process is slow, and it requires a lot of life-style changes if I am to ever get close to "normal". There's so much damage I'll never get back to stage one (normal, healthy spine), but I'm teetering so close to stage 3 that I can only hope to get back to the beginnings of stage 2 :/ Here's where some bad news comes in: even if I can somehow manage to change enough of my lifestyle now to correct my spine, going back to how I used to work will only land me BACK in therapy. The accident was the catalyst, but my crazy work schedule ensured/ensures the continued degradation. So while I'm recovering, I'm going to have to find a way to re-orient my schedule so I can do the least amount of damage when I'm ready to get back into a "full" week. Because unfortunately, I do still need to work. If I'm not doing art, I'll be degrading my back
