You may have noticed, I have not been posting. Let me try to give you the shortened version. We went to our grandson’s wedding, about a ten day adventure. All went well till the day we began our homeward journey. I had a painful ear infection! But, no bother, I brought antibiotic just in case. Two days home but I did none of the driving because I felt slightly dizzy. Two days later, I was extremely ill. One local ERVisit was a waste of my energy. I was loosing weight, couldn’t eat, couldn’t walk or do anything productive. A trip to UPMC Presby and then a week later to my family doctor before the prednisone began to rescue me. That was more than six weeks ago. I can hardly remember. I have been told it could be three to six months before I can balance and do things. I am forcing myself to my studio. It is a danger to walk as it feels as though I am on a storm tossed ship, not spinning like vertigo. I called my class back and I want to get this painting entered in a local show. I find the effort difficult but I cannot just sit and do nothing. Well, I won’t waste your time with more details. I just want you to know I am working again and will post as I can. I hope you can see the fun rippling creek background. It is an actual place where the mountain stream splits into two. I hope this makes a happy subject for people to enjoy. Shalom, Diana
