Walk the walk and talk the talk...

I've hit the end of the road for conservative treatments for severe OA in my shoulders and now have been referred for bilateral shoulder replacements ASAP.

I think I have more options than joint replacements.

Chronic pain management is what we both know well.

Talk the talk and walk the walk...

Goal - back on my bike, back at my loom.

I watched a documentary about H P Lovecraft the other night. He was sending his stories out about a hundred years ago. The documentary talked about how difficult it was to make a living on this alone. Then it talked about how much he got for his stories, and even without adjusting for inflation, fiction magazines paid more then than the bulk can now. That’s fucked.

I’m incredibly lucky that my husband makes enough money that I can afford to write fulltime. I don’t know what I’d do if he couldn’t. I’m too disabled to hold down a regular job. My body dictates how much work I can do. My headache today only let me start writing later this afternoon. The morning was mostly a waste. This year has not started off well for me, pain-wise. #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfMastodon #Lovecraft #spoony #ChronicPainWarrior
