being hurt/incapacitated can be frustrating as hell.
not exactly the vacation you had planned, i'm sure.
hey, at least you can still type so all is not lost haha
nice with the flowers, nice to know someone cares.

oh god, frustating doesn't even begin to cover it! not being able to drive so needing to depend on others to get me around, i'm so used to being able to take care of myself...i'm grateful i have folks who care though. and at least if i was off work for this long, if i could at least draw or go do stuff then i could manage it easier. it's messed with my head :(
but yep, good i can type, especially since i can't write....i tried adding a note to my wall calendar and it looked like some drunk on a jackhammer scrawled on it haha
I do a lot of photo-realistic pencil drawings of urban architecture. I also paint, but I do total abstract with the painting.
I hope to have enough work put together to have a booth in the summer of 2009 at the Chicago Bucktown Arts Fest.
what about you? what kinda are do you do?
wow very cool! do you have a site with your stuff available to see?
one good thing about being home, i can start working on my website. i have a couple designs but i'm not sure yet....maybe i should do a poll thing here for help!

its amazing what we take for granted every single day, the simple things.
yeah, sometimes too much time on our hands isn't always a good thing.
and tell that drunk to quit doodling on your calendar.
you may have to start sketching with your toes hehe

No site yet.. its in the works.. My husband does web design as a hobby so when he finds a moment of free time, I've booked his help.
I wish I could be an artist full time.. Doesn't seem to be enough people who want commissioned drawings to pay the bills just yet. I still enjoy it on the side though.

oh i know, wouldn;t it be nice to do it as a full time job? if i won the lottery that's what i'd do i do feel fortunate i can do some stuff as part of my job though, i'd go bananas if i worked where i couldn't have some creative aspect going
heehee of course now i can freak people out cuz i just have two steri-strips leftr to fall off so there's a nice chunk left for folks to see...i'm gonna go to work and gross them all out

and nice on the flowers!
thanks! actually it was a little difficult being off work...knowing stuff was piling up there, and i couldn't do stuff i'd like to if i was off work like drive places and draw and such. plus just being in pain all the time. in a twisted sort of way i'm lookin forward to going back...i must really have gone nuts :eek: haha
yep the flowers are really beautiful, still happy and blooming on my coffee table
hey just wanted to share something i learned from the physical therapist last week!
she gave me this micropore tape to put on the wounds every night before sleeping and leave on till morning. it's supposed to help flatten the scars...and so far it seems to be working! now, it could just be the natural progression of the healing, but she has had a few patients swear by it, and that it's reduced scars dramatically. so just wanted to let folks know in case god forbid they get a boo boo
