Pain Removed Me From The Bubble For A Bit....Hi Guys

Posted 7 months ago

Hey Bubbling Buddies,

I am so terribly sorry for neglecting you over the last month or so. I went in for a ketamine infusion in February, it kind of went badly and then I got really sick with a virus turned chest infection that would not quit…since then I have been dealing with flares that are more violent and restricting than usual. I am, sadly, not able to do much drawing or painting in …

An RSD Update & An Exciting Double Feature!

Posted 8 months ago

Howdy Bubbletrons,

These days pass in a blurry haze
I’m trying not to be all phased
Been suffering with a dreaded cold
That’s trying to force me to fold

Extra discomfort is just not what you need on top of RSD!

Finally catching up on my blog
Updates got a little lost in the fog
But now I’m feeling back on track
And up to helping share the facts

Video style.

I have been very ‘internet behind’ of late…mostly because I went to hospital for a ketamine infusion and have thus spent most of the last 3 weeks heavily drugged…I am looking forward to catching up on all the awesomeness that I can see peeking at me from my watchlist!

Despite days since my stomping on
The pain is flaring just as strong
But I’m trying to turn this mood around
Keep these swollen feet on solid ground

And remember how lucky I am.

This is the latest imaginaiad, Leni, she’s just a sketch right now but is looking forward to getting her colours… Rellacafa


The God of Irony and Why He Had Me Punished

Posted 9 months ago

It seems no matter why I try
Irony is always standing by
To thwart me as I try to stand
And send me crashing back to land

I tried to go out and have one drink in a bar to celebrate with friends…I got stomped on…right on my ankle…right where the initial injury that caused my RSD happened.

It hurt.

A lot.

Stumbled Upon & Some More Excitement From My Life With RSD

Posted 9 months ago

One of my poems was Stumbled Upon recently and seems to have received a lot of thumbs up…when I logged in and saw my views had suddenly jumped into the tens of thousands, I was thoroughly confused. I thought it must have been a glitch, but no, apparently it must have been getting a lot of thumbs up as the hits keep coming…It’s nice to know those old words of mine are able to reach people li…

Pictures of RSD @ Rellacafa's New Home!

Posted 10 months ago

I’ve worked pretty hard
And I’m finally done
The battle with code
I eventually won
Now for my troubles
I have a brand new site
A playground of sorts
For anything I write
And though I still have
Very much updating to do
I couldn’t resist
Sharing what I have done with you!

The latest post
More pics than most
Of my little
Swollen to…

Of just dealing

A sidestep from my story vids
Because my hands have hit the skids
A little look inside the pain
To where I’m waiting, hoping again
