Chronic illness is so different from “regular illness.”
No one is running medicine and soup over to your house when you say you don’t feel good. No one is running you to the hospital when you’re crumpled up in pain. Doctors don’t run around you ordering immediate tests and…
This part in particular. Because you feel like crap so often people don’t come around and see how you are because they have aready done that.
I have several times where i know I should have been in hospital hooked up to either those antibiotics that actually work or at least on a saline drip but didn’t because I have learnt how to do all that stuff at home, Even though it takes longer and I feel like hell for longer weeks in fact. It’s also in part because when you rock up to ER you have to give a pain scale and I’m always.. ummm…. I can’t tell because some of those pain receptors are actually blocked due to high traffic but I can feel all the wonderful other chemical cascades going on making me unable to focus…. so ummm probably 3 and 9 at the same time?

I saw the very top of the image and had a panic attack. I have my own black widow packed away and am just hoping like mad that it will travel safely.
When you have sanded a 50” prop smooth as well as crafted it in full there is a mix of pride and fear. Kind of can’t hide. Well I almost could hide behind it to be fair….
Today was supposed to be wholly dedicated to sewing for Arma but somehow I’ve ended up at metal work.
I’m totally okay with that! Want to post pictures of my work but at the same time want to wait for the full costume/makeup…..
You’ll just have to wait! Valkyrie out!
…Valkyrie?
(Seriously, Brittany, I know you would rock that. Can’t wait for the finished result!)
So fun seeing people blog about costuming for Armageddon 🙂 See you both there? I’ll be in the extremely uncomfortable Blood Dragon armour (modded to have interference overlay and no dragon- basically I can’t figure out a paint to go over the Rub n Buff…. so it’s a mod!) the 50” long (125cm long) Black Widow sniper and teeny tiny space hampster- no one messes with my hampster- go for the eyes!). BTW my prop meets all safety guidelines so ahahahahaha- card with a thin fibreglass overlay (glass tissue, how I love and hate it, but mostly love). So long as it doesn’t break in my suitcase.
Oh and purple hair. My one fb teaser photo makes it look burgundy but it’s not. Now I need to roll a Miki Shep with purple hair. She’ll be an adept as well as brawler because machinf “f” over and over again is very cathartic. And I need to to get the first game working because I also want Phoenix armour. Feaking pink armour!
Anyway, as cosplay contest co-ord and judge for the show I’ll be as available as I can be for talking to. So if I have epic health fail I’ll be in my N7 leggings and hot pink NASA hoodie and that purple hair. So please come find me, introduce yourself even if we have met before because doing so many shows means I need to meet you at least a few times or be reminded of very specific costume detaills.
I have done the same. I want to post photos. My fb friends have seen Mr Beanie Pants (hampster) and the collar of my armour but not the full thing and definitely not the full thing in silver and interference. I have some hand sewing to do at the show but not much- I didn’t accound for how firm the funky cool elastic I have used is.
Okay, time to get the certificates and envelopes and forms converted to PDF for takingwith me.
Thank goodness it is pretty darned close to one of the hair options for FemShep. Aside from the rigging my costume is good to go
Yeah rigging is a biggie but considering how the glue failed on me and no one sells Rub n Buff or Shoe Goo/E6000 near me I…
Made a tiny beanie animal…. for FemShep. You can hopefully see where this is going?
Squeak.Anyway. Aside from my hands really being a bit pants.. I filleted my finger two days ago and it is just barely knitting together… I may have managed to stave off…

I’m about to try an infusion in the hospital. Internal freakout. Hey you know all that stuff you learned in Immunology? That paper everyone failed the first time it was allowed to be taken by non-pre-med or b.Tech students? Yeah. We’re going to knock out an entire line of B cells in you. That can’t go wrong can it?

This is how wrong it can go- though my infusion has already been tested.
Not a drug, monoclonal antiodies are biologically derived. Used to be from micies and rabbits (at least for playing in the lab) now from humans. And the immune response is a tricky bugger to control once it has started down the wrong path.
So yes, I am freaking. I hope people around me can understand that I’m not simply making up Teh Dramdrams over losing a little hair.
