Reaction?
My iPod is just as confused about my life as I am. Yay.

Hey everybody. I know the general rule of social media is don't complain in front of people, but I really just need to talk to some actual people who will understand me, and I'm hoping this story will help someone.
Okay, so in January 2013 (almost two years ago) I broke my right foot at dance class. It didn't leave a visible fracture, so I was on crutches for five weeks before the third doctor I saw gave me an orthopedic boot. It healed up nicely, but after I started going to physical therapy, my lower right leg started hurting. It hurt so bad that I was wearing the boot again, then on crutches, and finally in a wheelchair for five months. I had x-rays and even an MRI done, I saw four or five different doctors, I did everything I could, but nobody could figure out why if you so much as tapped my shoulder my leg was in agony.
I was preparing to be in excrutiating pain for the rest of my life, when someone suggested getting my vitamin D checked. I thought she was insane: vitamin D deficiency couldn't possibly be causing my pain.
I got it tested, and the results were just pathetic, really. The recommended low is a level 40. My level was 12. Vitamin D helps keep bones strong; without it you are much more likely to break bones, and can even experience bone pain when they aren't damaged. They put me on a huge dose of vitamin D, and the pain in my leg finally started to get better. I got out of the wheelchair and back onto crutches.
Then I fell off my porch and broke my other foot.
I became extremely depressed. I was back in a wheelchair with two thick, heavy boots. I couldn't even climb the stairs to take a shower. After a month or two, I was able to get back out of the wheelchair and the boots, but I still struggled with depression. I couldn't run or jump or dance, my favorite things in the world.
Summer came around, and I finally felt free of my deficiency. I went on vacation to the beach with my family, performed in a dance show, and finally got back to dance class, my greatest passion.
I woke up on September 3 to pain in my left foot.
I wish I could say my reaction was mature. I wish I could say I took it like an adult, that I didn't cry, and that I held it together. But that would be a lie.
I saw my doctor again on Thursday (her office is very difficult to get into), and my vitamin D level had dropped again to 24 over the summer. I'm about to start another mega dose of 50,000 units per week (the regular dose is 14,000 units per week).
This is going to be a problem for the rest of my life. I will always have to take vitamin D, I will have to get it tested every four months for at least the next year, and I will always have to own an orthopedic boot that I can start wearing as soon as I start feeling pain in my feet again. It's not a huge deal; lots of people take medicine every day for their entire lives. I'm still new to this sort of thing, so I'm still getting used to it and I'm still kind of depressed.
7 out of 10 people are deficient in vitamin D. I know these kinds of stories annoy people, I know nobody believes that these things happen, I understand. But I swear to you, this is all true. Please, please, please, if you think you might be deficient, get it tested. It's a normal blood test, no worse than any shot. These last two years have been the worst of my entire life, and I don't want anyone else to go through any of it.
To those of you who are still reading... Thank you. Most of the people I live and work with don't understand what's going on with me, and why my foot isn't behaving- they don't even really try. Even if nobody has made it here to the end, it still feels good to say it. Thanks. I love you guys.

Hi everybody! My sister is the founder of the group called Phoenix Rising. It's really more of a storage bin for stuff for this TV show she's writing.
Anyway, she wanted to know if anyone wanted to design a character for the show. It's a male drake named Kalidasa. Anybody who draws Kalidasa for us will get a llama, and our favorite will receive a prize: a grayscale picture of the main character, Phoenix. My sister asked me to post this, so if you don't want to draw a drake or if you really just don't care, please ignore this. Thanks.

Yeah... Never saying that again.
Anyway, I've been absent for a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally long time, but to be fair, I broke both of my feet and couldn't walk for ten months. I really wasn't in the mood to do much of anything.
But I'm better now! I'm also much better at drawing than I was, so hopefully I'll start getting some art up soon. I love you all, thanks for sticking around and not un-watching me (can you even do that? Right, time for experimentation). See y'all later.

I completely forgot about the ten day meme thing, so here's the rest of them.

Day Five: Six things you wish you'd never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order).
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession.

Five:
1. Been unwilling to speak my mind in so many situations. Apparently my opinion is valued by some people.
2. ... That was pretty much it. I haven't done a lot of stuff I regret.
Six:
1. Danajk701. She was a huge encouragement to me when I was learning how to not fail at roleplaying (and so was everyone else in Kelacao).
2. My mom. She's always been there for me.
3. My older brother. He's great at diffusing stressful situations and making my whole family laugh.
4. Ranger709. She's a very good friend of mine from real life, and now we can virtually hug each other all the time.
5. Ellenar-Ride. She loves everything I make, even when I think it's all crap. Best sister a girl could ask for.
Seven:
1. Being mean to other people or me.
2. Coming on too strong.
3. Lying or keeping secrets about things I should know about.
4. Wearing your jeans so your belt's around your knees. This is neither impressive nor attractive. It just looks stupid.
Eight:
1. Being polite and kind.
2. Really caring about me.
3. Loving Jesus passionately.
Nine:
1. I'm the gullible, happy-go-lucky type who has a good life and would not appreciate being tracked down and slapped for all her stupidity.
2. I like being evil, occasionally.
Ten:
1. I'm trying to give up this crush I have on this guy I know, since...
Well, let me give you the whole story, it'll just be easier that way.
I've been crushing on this guy I know for almost a year. He's a really great guy, my family loves him, and he's a great friend. Unfortunately, he's eight years older than me, so there's no way we could be together for at LEAST five years. I've shed many a tear over this fact, but I figure that if I'm still crushing over him, I might miss the guy God may be trying to bring into my life. So, I'm trying really hard to let this guy go so I can see anything God might send my way.
So far I'm not really succeeding. Failing is a better word.

So... There's the rest of the meme. I hope you guys enjoyed the baring of my soul... DON'T STEP ALL OVER IT.
