I can't paint living things but I love drawing anything that pops in my mind. Some are suitable to paint and some are done in fine delta. I love to draw old houses. My projects lately have been signs for my granddaughter. She likes to read the encouraging to read before hockey games where she plays a great defense position. Again so far this year they have won every game. She likes to share one of her quotes with her teammates, and now that she is in advanced gymnastics she has been asked to help teach the little ones. She always manages to have a quote or a story of how she works to overcome bullying at school. She has no trouble on the ice her team loves her but the girls in school are mean because she likes sports and not fancy clothes or dolls or even toys. Her room is like walking into a teenagers room except she believes in order to succeed you can't live in a garbage dump. Overstate. Sorry. As for my hands in the spring I will try acupuncture if I haven't been put in long term care by then. My husband refuses to work so he can be with me.

EMG showed “significant” / “severe” neuropathy in right hand. Good news? I was given the green light to begin PT and had my first appointment today. Great first appointment with therapist. He suggested buying 5 pounds of cheap rice, dumping in a big bowl and running my hand through it while reading or watching TV. I asked if it was okay to warm first and he said yes. This is so soothing!
