chronic vertigo

I’ve been trying to write this blog post for the past three days. I’m having some pretty severe vertigo, so if it doesn’t make sense, I apologize. This week went by quickly. I had several things to do this week, including a doctor’s appointment Friday with my neurotologist. I see him every 6 months unless [...]

Every Day in May – #3 & 4

The past two days have been hard for me physically. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed with fatigue and vertigo. I did draw yesterday – two things, so I’m going to count them as yesterday’s and today’s in case I can’t get drawing done today (but I’ll still try!). Today I’m tired [...]

Every Day in May Day 2

Today I am still feeling fatigued from the treatment. No surprise there… However, I am still challenging myself to keep up with at least one drawing each day. Today I did two challenges from the Every Day Matters Group. EDM 31 – Draw something you collect. I brought my grandmother’s vintage train case into the [...]

Some Drawings

While my niece was here, I did get some time to do a bit of drawing. As always, drawing always keeps me grounded. That’s why it was even more important for me to do it while I was hosting the family. To the left is my CreativeTherapy response to “What makes you, you?” which is [...]

Chicago Report and Passover Preparations

This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time! First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, [...]

Post Treatment Update, Cabinet Cards for Sale

It’s Monday. After a long weekend of fatigue and nausea, I was able to sit in the studio for a while today. I cleared off my desk and even did some sewing today. I finished up two small journals for Beads-n-More/SunSpirit Studio in Bisbee. Another of my journals sold there this weekend and they’re having [...]

Weekend roundup

Friday was my treatment. I went to the infusion center to get my medication this time. If you’re a blog reader, you know I usually do my treatments at home; however, as I mentioned yesterday, I needed to have a bit more control over the date of the infusion to prepare for my trip to [...]

Quick Post

It’s Thursday and tomorrow I have my treatment. Since we have plans to travel to Chicago for Dave’s annual neurology convention, we’re doing it five days early. It’s been 20 years since I’ve been to Chicago (I’ve been to Rosemont for meetings, but that’s just not the same!). I was in college the last time [...]

Why did she wait so long?

Why did I let those cards just sit there for several years, instead of using them? That’s the question I asked myself today when I looked at my basket-full of card fronts from the past few years. I used to make samples for companies to use at trade shows and I also was very active [...]

Taking it slow

Thanks to all of you who sent healing wishes. My balance appears to be better after three days of solumedrol; however, I am feeling rather weak and worn out. I’m staying in the house today and tomorrow to, hopefully, regain some energy. I’m doing a lot of sleeping after suffering the insomnia from the solumedrol. [...]
