I came home from the hospital two weeks ago today after spending four days there. My recovery is going well, and I actually feel better than expected at this point. The worst part of it all is that I am limited as to how much I can lift, and a 15-pound wiener dog is off limits. That's really bad news for Maggie, because she is unable to go up or down stairs without being carried, and she can't get into her favorite spot next to me on the couch or the bed without being picked up and put there, and she can't get down from either place either. Life is full of disappointment for her right now... at least it's only temporary.

Many, many thanks for the cards and flowers and books and gifts and phone calls and general well-wishes. All of it brightens my days and it is all very much appreciated.

Art and my mom have done more than their fair share when it comes to taking care of me. Art has demonstrated domestic skills that will come back to haunt him after I'm well, and my mom is determined to feed me back to health, which has been very delicious. 

Thanks to all of you who have shown me your love and support!

Fur Ball success!

Last Saturday evening, the Delaware County Humane Society (http://www.hsdcohio.org) held their annual fundraiser, the Fur Ball, at the Medallion Club in Westerville. I was honored to have a portrait commission offered at their live auction. It is my understanding that it made a healthy amount of $$$ for the humane society, which makes me very happy. Some very nice and thoughtful portrait customers of mine made the experience remarkably easy for me by doing all the legwork and setup and using their own portraits as samples. All I had to do was say, "Okay," and it was done, which was great because I am swept up in the chaos of details that happens when you are preparing to put your life on hold for a little while, as I am preparing for some major surgery soon. If that is what it feels like to delegate, I like it! They and the folks from the humane society did a great job with the display, and I appreciate their efforts! I also appreciate the bidding that took place, and many thanks to the winning bidder. I look forward to creating a really special portrait for you!
