DLable vids up
Aug. 24th, 2018 03:28 pmFor those of you who wanted a downloadable copy of the recent Vividcon vids, or the Steve Tony vid I made earlier this year for Fandom Loves Puerto Rico, there are finally copies up at my vids site. I'm thinking about taking this site down--it costs a lot of money to keep and hardly anyone uses it anymore these days, people either have YT downloaders or don't care if they're not in higher quality, plus the code is ancient hand-coded html and more than a few people have told me they had trouble getting into it--so if you want to get them, might be worth doing before year's end. I don't know. I could move it somewhere cheaper, but I don't have the capacity to do all that work of moving 100 or so vids, and fixing links, etc. I'll figure it out.
So the good news is that after two sets of x-rays in two separate states and a CT scan, it's been shown that I do NOT have a fractured...scaphoid bone? I think is what it's called. It's definitely the aftermath of the previous fracture that's caused the confusion. The bad news is that I should still wear the brace for a while, and that I have pretty serious arthritis in my wrists and hands. Yay. Another health problem that no one will be able to fix and that I can't afford treatment for. (The knee is a whole other problem, as it doesn't really seem to be getting better--not worse, but not better, either.)
I've been waking up with excrutiating pain in my other wrist for a few months now--it started when I was just turning the freaking deadbolt and it's horrible upon waking, then sort of goes away during the day. Now I'm kind of wondering if that's what it's been all along, but they only scanned the left wrist. It does hurt upon waking, too, but nothing like the right one. She offered to send me to PT but I haven't had any useful help from a physical therapist for some time now, and also affording it in this trashfire of a country is another thing, especially since I have to figure out how to pay for the followup colonoscopy, a mammogram, and whatever the aftermath of this little adventure in Chicago will cost me.
Then Blues decided to get into a fight with--who knows, but there seem to be a bunch of new kitties in the neighborhood and they keep coming up to the windows and he's just losing his mind over it. I may cancel the vet appointment tomorrow, though--he's been sleeping and resting, and finally started eating this morning, so I don't think I need to take him in for urgent care after all. I was worried last night, but his paws are less swollen and he let me check out his shredded claws a minute ago without threatening to bite me, so I guess he's out of the woods. But for a bit there all I could see was dollar signs over his pain.
I was considering writing up a little bit about making Dream, mostly so I remember things later, but if anyone is interested I could definitely do that. I think it's done its Fade Into Obscurity thing, though, at this point--I didn't expect it to go viral or anything, the way most multifandom vids seem to from popular folks and god knows I am not that, and it's for a specific audience--but probably at this point its moment in the sun has faded, so maybe not worth the while.
