After Con Pains
« on: September 06, 2011, 02:06:36 pm »
I can't be the only one.

My legs are so sore I cant walk without limping. Not liking the stairs in my house right now.
I partied a bit too hard at the raves I guess XD

The worst part is that I have school tomorrow.

I got the normal set of blisters, but something happened to my right foot on Sunday night. Now that I'm walking around the house barefoot it's a bit more deep and pervasive than I thought.

Luckily deep and pervasive is the way I like it.  ;)

My calves are DEAD.  Toes are better now.  Back of my heels got messed up pretty good from the raves.  Nose was SUPER dry this morning.  My lips actually were quite chapped the past couple of days. :(

The bottoms of my feet are completely numb and my legs feel like poseable noodles that look funny when I walk, but the pain is so worth it. I had a great time~

I'm completely fine, except for this hole in the back of my foot that I think is a popped blister from my horrible shoes on day one. I still can't walk around with shoes on without it hurting.

I was very lucky on 2 accounts while being 35 weeks pregnant this con.  1 the Hilton provided me with a wheel chair to use during my stay, and 2 my husband and brother did not mind wheelin me about.  I used it a bit more then I thought but husbandman and brother were encouraging me to because basically if I had walked to the red lion in the sun, I would have been done for the day.  By using it to get over, I had the energy to walk around dealers room once there and just stash the chair at the door.  Same thing when in main events I could run about the room help with seating and what not, then after event be wheeled out, it let me chose where I spent my energy-does that make sense?  Tho by Monday I was on empty,
It also easier to take it down once, instead of returning it to room and filling up the elevator.

Red lion parking lot needs repaving, and I almost get spilled once, few bruises, and some lower belly pain, other then that just normal pregnancy tiredness, really its hard to tell whats from con tiredness when this has been my energy levels lately,
"boy that sleep was exhausting, now that I have had breakfast I need a nap...."

My back really hurts, but I have to say the thing that hurts the worse of all is my head. XD I STILL have a line from my wig cap right along my hair line. x.x I'm PRETTY sure it was too tight; aka, cutting off the circulation in my head. XDDD

I was working days before and even earlier on day 1 and 2 of con.  Hard for me to say which pain from from what.  The only difference from con was I got to sit down and move around compared to standing still for long periods of time.

For the first time in years, I managed to kill neither my voice nor any part of my body - even the mild lower back pain from too much shaking and rolling at the Saturday night rave went away by lunch on Sunday.

But.

I didn't get any homework done, and now I'm scrambling to BS my way through today's (graduate-level) classes and finish my work for tomorrow.  Does that count as a pain?   :-\

I'm in massive amounts of pain as well. XD;
The ENTIRE con, I walked around in about 5 lb shoes with huge heels, then decided it would be a good idea to rave in them for 3+ hours as well.... OTL
Needless to say, I cannot walk today. hahaha!

I think the most painful thing for me was having to deal with the pain from wearing my boots. I walked around too much during the first and second day, and it made my feet so sore. The heat didn't help as much, either.
I'm thinking about attending Kumoricon 2016! :D

Similar to that-- the biggest pain for me was getting back to the normal world where there is not much color comparing to the con life...

Can't feel the balls of my feet or the second and third toes on either foot. My hips both hurt, my lower back is on fire, at one point I felt like my ribs were broken and you would not believe the headache I had most of yesterday.

I had a pretty decent con.

Blisters that cover the balls of my feet as well as the back of both heels. Also, lots of acne because of the make-up I wore everyday from 7 am until 2 am. My calves are surprisingly not sore, though...

Just as many suspected, I hurt after wearing my Liger Zero Jager suit xD

I cannot sit down when wearing him, and the boots are HIGHLY uncomfortable. So my feet have been swollen, and still hurt. And cause of the way I have to walk in them, the backs of my legs hurt. And of course cause of the booster backpack, my back is killing me.

BUT--all worth it.

Only the front of my ankles hurt if I move them in certain directions and its from the shoes I wore being snug on me and having heels so it made my feet walk differently. You notice when you use muscles you never use usually xD My knees hurt a tad but not surprised when I was put onto a love seat that was about 5" too short for me.

I just took a nice long shower and hated standing in it x.x So I sat and ran the hot water over my ankles for about 30 min to help any swelling that might be going on.

The usual blisters, sore legs/feet...
My back really hurts from binding so much though. I was all crossplay, and forgot how tight I had to bind for Kazuma. Along with the drive back and forth from the hotel and the 5 hour drive back home, I'm seriously unsure how to unkink my back and shoulders. Oww..

I'm also really pained that I didn't get to do as much as I planned, and I think I missed a photoshoot for someone. x_x But they didn't text me so I'm hoping they may have spaced it too..... n.n; Considering I barely went to any events besides photoshoots/gatherings and non official things, I was so busy. How. xD Alright, going to go shower and attempt to save my spine..

I did some hard labor Thurs and Fri and my legs were covered in bruises and I was so sore.  Then I got to go to the con and walk around all day with shoulder pads that killed me and a holster that made my lower back hurt.  I'm mostly over it now, but my back still hurts from the shoulders.

The only pain I had during con started from the beginning.  During Opening Ceremonies where the other Anime Hunters and I were going down the middle aisle, I was crawling as Ellis.  Well, my right elbow ended up dragging across the carpet and boy did that suck.  A tiny burn, but oh man, did it burn.  Still kinda don't want to take the band-aid off.

The biggest pain i had was waking up alone this morning alone. My boyfriend stayed the weekend for the con and i loved waking up to someone other than my fish lol Other than that,  i went to con with a horrible (and gross) ingrown toenail. I now can no longer walk. Going to the doctors tomorrow to have my entire toenail removed. But the con was worth it. Also, my lower back has been on fire since lastnight. Went to bed at 6pm and woke up at like 11am today. But once again, it was all worth it.

I had a few pains after Kumoricon.

Since I wore high-heeled shoes that were pretty high and bulky, walking in general was pretty hard. Got blisters and the arches of my feet are weird.
But one pain that still hurts the most is from me twisting my ankle while wearing said heels going down the stairs. Luckily, I was by the railing so I caught my fall before I could get anymore damage done to me. My ankle is fine, no swelling or anything. Just sore. ^_^''
