I'm just now coming out of the ughs from the third round of chemo. I find if I can get a solid night's sleep on an ugh day, my recovery is much quicker.
Stella was declared a total loss. I've already gotten the settlement check, but I just put it in the bank. Until I detox from my final chemo round, all I'd be doing with a new scooter is moving it out of the way of the street cleaners every week. Someone else can own it, store it and insure it until I'm really ready to ride it.
I got my own mat cutter last week and have invested a lot of time framing the farm animal prints. I also finished and framed the multi-piece Shrinkydinks piece you see here. I'm waiting for my chemo schedule to be finalized before I schedule the cafe show, but I'll be ready, artwork-wise. Chemo may extend into late October, depending on its effectiveness and my own stamina, and what Dr. Liu and I decide.
So to summarize;
- I'm standing up to the chemo ughs ok so far
- We may go for six rounds of chemo, after all (still TBD after seeing Dr. Liu in a couple of weeks)
- Brain MRI next Monday (This is a followup to my surgeries and brain radiation, just to make sure everything is still quiet up there; I think it is)
- I have no wheels for the time being
- I can now mat and frame my own lino prints
Moving it out of the way of the street cleaners and the reckless drivers. Bravo, Dennis - more power to you.
