Nix/86 – Diary Comic – Days 40-42

Day 40 – ALT TEXT

26 Steps

I’m in some sense feeling much better. Less sharp pains and more achey. I’m celebrating every day of even marginal improvement. Keep moving!

Day 40

The top third of the page is covered in a mesh of light blue lines. The bottom 2 thirds is covered in wavy lines like waves in three shades of blue ink.

Day 41 – ALT TEXT

0 Steps. It was bath day so 0 steps. Bathing takes it out of me, but the clean feeling is so nice. After bathing KP gave me a haircut. Freshly shorn and clean – huzzah!

The middle of the page is covered in a rainbow of horizontal lines from left to right.

Day 41

I remember when being queer was a superpower. Is it still? What does queer even mean anymore?

Day 42 – ALT TEXT

0 steps. I woke up incredibly achey. I stood up on the walker and couldn’t go any further. The previous pen ran out of ink. Arguments ensued. Circular. Taking us nowhere. Exhaustion upon exhaustion. I can hardly breath into tomorrow is another day…

Day 42

The background of the page is covered in multicolored arches. Each arch is a series of similarly colored lines. The arches vary in size across the page.
