1: Thought Dump

Hey everyone. I'm sorry if I'm whiny but its my blog and I can type what I want to! lol

To recap: I was crossing the street Saturday evening when I got hit by a car. I was in a lot of pain and couldn't move so I was rushed to the ER. After 5+ hours in the ER, a ton of x rays and scans, quite a few needles being poked inside me...I was sent home with painkillers.

My left leg is extremely bruised and swollen, my right thigh/knee has quite a few gashes and bruises, my ankles are bruised, and my right arm/elbow is bruised. I can barely walk and am pretty much in constant pain right now.

The worst of it all though is that I can't hold a pen/pencil in my right hand. I can use my hand and fingers somewhat but I can't grip.

One of my biggest fears has always been to lose the use of my hands and my eyes, and be unable to ever make art again. Drawing/painting is my way of dealing with problems, relieving stress, expressing my troubles and pains. Right now, I want more than anything to draw and its the one thing I can't do. It hurts to grip a pencil and I can barely move my arm across a page.

This seriously sucks. I can deal with the pain of everything else, I can use a bedpan if I absolutely have to, I can hop around on my crutches and grin and bear the pain...but being unable to draw....this absolutely kills me.

OmgC...Ow!

Hi, my name is Mary and I'm a friend of Sheika's updating on behalf of Ms. OMGcow.  Sheika was hit by a car while crossing the road this weekend.  Not to fret dedicated readers, she's ok, but her arm is swollen and in pain.  For now, OMGcow is on hiatus until she can draw again.

If anyone wants to do guest comics while Sheika heals she will love you forever!
