After three years of discomfort and a loss of about 85% of the range of motion in my drawing arm over the last six months, I was finally pointed into a direction for treatment that actually WORKS!
I would never have thought of working with a chiropractor (my back is ok), but my acupuncturist recommended a friend of his after I complained that something was *seriously wrong* with my shoulder, and I needed an alternative to his alternative medicine.
After one session with my new best friend in the chiropractor's office, it was discovered that the reason I couldn't lift my arm more than about 20 degres upward was because my upper bicep tendon had slipped out of the notch that it normally resides in. This not only was hindering lifting movement in my shoulder, but all the other muscles that make up the shoulder & shoulder blade system were working the *wrong way* to compensate. The resulting effect was that I was effectively no longer right-handed. My right arm flopped around like Dr. Strangelove.
Not only did my chiro know what was going wrong, she had even had the same problem in her own shoulder at one time. Hence, she was especially keen on how to fix this stuff. Over a total of four sessions over two months (efficient she is, too), the 'homework' exercises she gave me have been giving me spectacular results. The other day I even lifted my right arm straight up, which I haven't been able to do since last November.
What else does this mean? It means it's time to hit the drawing board again! First up will be the resumption of illustrations for
vplexico's Sentinels book series, the next of which was posted tonight

It doesn't matter if everyone in the world hates your work. As long as you love what you create and love to create it, it is good art.

Freedom is not free. It was bought with the price of 3 nails, a cross and the blood of Jesus on a hill called Golgotha. Jesus is my savior, my defender, my rock and my strong tower. In Him I find rest, forgiveness, peace and most importantly salvation.
