Aura Comic

Update on health and the hiatus situation.

Ah, so I promised this a week ago and am just now getting to it, my bad. ^^; Anyway I am slowly getting better with each week, but I underestimated my potential recovery time by a lot sadly. Judging by the progress I have made in the past month, I honestly think it’s going to take me at least another 2 months to recover fully as I still have pain daily and can sit in a chair or walk for no more than 30-45 minutes at a time. (TAT) This means I am going to need a longer hiatus since I am only able to accomplish about 1/4 of what I usually could when healthy.

Lately I’ve felt I’ve been in a better frame of mind though, so you may see more of me online as bed rest can be terribly boring. Hopefully my next update will be more upbeat and I can give a date for the return of the comic. It’s very frustrating for me since I really wanted to try to finish Aura sometime at the end of the year and be able to move on to other very exciting projects! Anyway I will try to tweet updates more often, and barring any relapses I hope to be better soooooon…Oh I so want to be. OTL

I have decided I am going to take a short hiatus in order to recover properly from my injury. I’ll make a news posting about it below. With this said, Wednesday will be the last new page for a while.

Hiatus and health update.

So, I’ve decided it’s going to be necessary for me to have a short hiatus from Aura in order to recover properly from my injury so I don’t have a relapse or permanently damage my sciatic nerve. My hope is that I will be able to recover sufficiently over the month of April to ease back into work and start back up again come May.

As of right now I’m feeling pretty optimistic that I can be back by May as I seem to be making small improvements each day. Still though I have to be cautious and know my limits. I will probably tweet about any progress I make towards working on the comic in my twitter. Well, that’s about it, hopefully you can put up with the injured me a little longer. ^^;; Thanks!

Please be sure to read my announcement below as it relates to a potential slow down or stop in comic updates. TAT

Important Announcement!!

Ok, so here’s what happened….I woke up on the morning of the 19th with severe pain radiating from my lower back and shooting down my leg. It was so bad at one point that all I could do was lie on the floor and cry, I couldn’t walk, dress myself or move…the pain was that intense. I’ve been to the doctor and talked with my aunt who is an RN and basically I pinched my sciatic nerve somehow. I really don’t know how, but right now I still have pain and am taking muscle relaxants, also my foot and most of my calf are numb and sometimes tingly. With all this said, it’s really painful for me to sit in a chair, I either have to lie down or walk for short periods. I am improving a little bit, but if this doesn’t clear up within a day or two I may need a short hiatus in April because as of yet I still have to ink 3 more pages for April’s updates and tone them, plus color a cover. TAT Really in all honesty I don’t want this, and not just because it’s painful, but because my mind is fine and active and I am horribly bored. Anyway I really hope it doesn’t come to having a hiatus, but I thought I should warn you all since it is still a possibility.
