Sometimes even the smallest doodle can be a great accomplishment.
This Doodle was done in three parts, over three days. I can tell exactly where one day started and another began. The moods definitely change from one segment to another, and it has little cohesion. |
Some of these things I'm surprised I'm showing, but even silly little critter sketches can help me feel better on days when it's difficult to even move my head. |
Thinking about headaches, and surgery coming up tomorrow. This was a very therapeutic sketch. |
I just drew a shape, and it became this Silly Goose. I love the cute little expression he has about getting a gift. |
Another sketch from a shape I drew. I can't decide if she's in pain, singing, depressed....or perhaps she just slipped and bonked her head. |
Barbershop Quartet Singer. Another drawing that started a just a little shape, and turned into this funny man. |
Starting to think about Christmas. |
Happy Holidays! |
This was still in progress, She would end up with a cool design cloth draped over her head, but the eyes are too far apart, I may never get back to her. |
Tomorrow is surgery day. (I guess technically today, I didn't notice it was so late!)
I have to be at the hospital at 11:30am. Surgery is at 2pm. Not sure how much art I'll be getting done for the first few days. Hopefully, at least a silly little sketch or two!
But I need to remember to
You may remember this drawing I posted earlier in it's black and white version. I think the color adds a lot! |
The surgery is called Endolymphatic Sac Enhancement Surgery. The endolymphatic sac is located right under and too the back side of your ear. For people with Meniere's this sac fills with too much fluid and that creates havoc with the delicate "balance" of things. (pun intended)
You can go here http://www.pehni.com/patient_ed/endolymphaticsac.htm to read a little more about the surgery. It's very hard to find exact information about it on the internet. I think that is because different doctors do this surgery in different ways. Some decompress the sac, some add a shunt, some simply remove the bone and create a larger area for the endolymphatic sac so it can expand without leaking. This is what my doctor does.
Looking forward to creating more as I heal.
Very best to you! Prayers and hugs! Let us know how you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketches. Especially the butterfly for the hubby and your super cool Christmas trees and star!
I pray the surgery works wonders and you heal quickly!! Hope to hear from you soon. :):)
Love the butterfly and the trees...I love everything you draw. Hoping that the surgery has gone well and you will be feeling better soon.

I actually like the drawing of the woman who is "out of proportion." I like the angle of her face, the strands of hair hanging over her face.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surgery. I hope it goes well and the healing process is short and easy on you.
