I dunno about you guys, but I am on a rough streak this year as far as catching stray colds and gunk! I had a great run from 2019-2023 with zero illness, but now it seems as though my body is making up for lost time 💀 I’m taking daily immunity supplements from now on, and I’ve been trying to pound back those awful ginger/cayenne pepper juice shots 🤞

As for the wrist thing, oogh, that one really burns my biscuits. I have a ganglion cyst that puts pretty harsh pressure on my tendons. Over the years I’ve gotten x-rays, creams, shots, braces, the works. I considered surgery, but they basically told me that it’s most likely gonna grow back, thus risking injuring my wrist further through invasive procedures for nothing. So all I can do is just try to get the pain and tenderness down through good ol’ fashioned compression, heat, icing, etc. 😞

I just wanted to squeeze this doodle and update out for you because I always feel better keeping you in the loop. I’ll be back to working on the comics, commissions, and other art ASAP! Hope you guys have a nice restful Sunday 💚

Don't push yourself. If you need to rest that's fine.

Tuubi

Hope you'll get better soon. I swear there's something weird about this year. I've also been sick more times this winter than in the past few years combined

Focus on getting better with both sickness and wrist thing. Yeah, the random flu is on a streak lately.

Xavier Redstag

Did the doctors give an estimate on how much relief surgery could provide and how long it would last?

Pravvus

Kickstarter for a robotic hand.

jellybones

ahhh the classic "gooner's wrist"

Jackaloo

It would take a solid month of zero mobility in the wrist to recover and could grow back in as early as a year 😭 I’m thinking I wanna get a second opinion though. Perhaps there’s a skilled enough specialist out there that could at least drain it a little to get some pressure off the tendons…

Boris

So sorry to hear about your cyst. Get better soon! ♥️

Jeffwolf

Have tried asking to have the fluid aspirated with a needle? This type of treatment is usually followed by a steroid injection to help the inflammation. It might come back but the recovery time would be shorter than surgery

Jackaloo

My doctor wasn’t confident enough to do it due to the size and location, but it was suggested :c maybe a specialist will do just that!

Marcwolf

Draining it sounds a far better solution if it's a fluid cyst.. It it is a gel or paste then thats more difficult.

Afadi Chionesu

That's terrible. 🙁 Get well soon, Jack. 🙏

Lurkybot3k

How will you wipe your nose with a cysty wrist!? 😭 Feel better soon!

Zeke Red

Feel better soon! Increase your liquids, oatmeal, walnuts, citrus, etc. . I loathe being sick so I’ve looked up all the remedies and good foods for colds and allergies over the years. Haha. Hope that helps, really sorry to hear about your wrist too

Grey Archer

Body breakdown comes as soon as you relax. You tell yourself you can’t get ill and you can’t rest for so long and then when you finally let yourself rest, it all collapses. It’s like a kind of sleep debt for sickness. Xwx Get well soon. <3

Jack, dunno if it’s an option where you live, but THC cream does wonders. My mother in law has a cyst right in her wrist also, and she found this stuff to be the best thing she has tried so far.

You just concentrate on getting better. Don’t worry about any of us. 😊 Also, I know the feeling. Having one bad thing and then another, that royally sucks!

Whiskeywolf01

In the old days they would slam those cysts with a book “normally a bible” they became known as bible cysts. That would bust and cure them. Idk if I would do that though 😂 it would have to hurt. I know a couple people who have done it though and they swear it took the cyst and it didn’t come back lol

Jackaloo

OH TRUST ME, I have beaten the absolute crap out of it to no avail 😭 I wanted it to work SO bad, but it must be in too deep…
