@mcmurf2 So glad you checked in with us today! You have had a difficult year. If the holidays have usually been spent with family and friends, it is understandable to have strong emotions now. How interesting to wake at a specific time each night. Please be gentle on yourself. I am pleased you are sober today; that can be a struggle but you sound positive in your resolve. Sleep is hard for me, too, when there is a lot going on in my mind! Before your surgery, may I suggest you start using your left hand and figuring out exactly what may be the most difficult tasks, so you can figure them out now and lessen frustration later. Please continue to check in with us, we care about you.

hi Ginger.. I did decide since I"m not going to have a right hand that I"m going to turn it all into a positive. I bought larger canvas ( for less detail work), and I"m going to attempt to soften my abstract paintings by using my left hand!!!!! I"m actually looking forward to it. I have a couple ideas already. Right now, I'm just trying to get out the commission Christmas work.. while I have a right hand..ha At least I have something to do when I can't sleep now. Seems like everyone wants work done now. But,, still would rather sleep.
