new skins....new perspective

Journal Entry: Thu May 21, 2009, 9:33 AM


My last journal made mention of a serious health issue that I was gifted with. Shortly after I wrote it, I was readmitted to the hospital for 6 more days...This time in the ICU with pulmonary embolism.

I have had a rough Spring. Especially since I am not one to enjoy taking pharmaceuticals...and I have been on many of them, trying to recover from two separate life threatening conditions.

I am pleased to say that recovery is coming along nicely...although I do think that I need to get off the meds soon as they are affecting my liver and pancreas. Highly toxic, to say the least.

anyway, I just want to drop by and let you know that I am doing much better and plan to return to work the first of June. I have even begun riding my bike lately, which has been a lifesaver. Cabin fever has been difficult to deal with at times.

I haven't been very active with the camera, as you can see. I hope that will change once I get back to 'my life.' I did have two photographs in an art show at the University of Florida Law School back in April.

These past three months have offered me a chance to do some 'deep thinking.' In a lot of ways, I feel like a different person. When death comes knocking on your door, rattling chains, one tends to re-evaluate their life. The months ahead are going to be interesting. Transformation often comes when one faces death.

at any rate, I have been watching my dA friends. As always, your art inspires me and brings beauty, as well as creativity to my days.
Thank you! Thank you for the comments and support.

I hope to be more active in the near future.

Terry

Parasites

As I have been dealing with some minor health issues since the holidays, I have shamefully allowed my response to your faves and comments to accumulate beyond the practical level of individual answers at this time.

I do want to say THANK YOU to all of you! You are all such an inspiration to my own creativity and I love viewing your galleries.

DeviantArt and you Deviants ROCK!!

So here goes...

Up until this week, a few of you may have missed me here.

Thing is, I haven't been around. With severe headaches, nausea and vomiting, loss of coordination and appetite, I stayed in bed for a week. I couldn't walk or even lift my head.

Turns out, I had an ear infection, a urinary tract infection, and I took an ambulance to the hospital. I stayed there for 10 days!!

The tests discovered that I had lesions on my brain. After 2 cat scans and an MRI, I was diagnosed with a severe toxoplasmosis infection. So, I am on around 10 different dangerous drugs for about 6 weeks and then I'll go back for another MRI.

It's difficult to hear a physician say that you have a life threatening condition. Makes one think about life and where they have been...where they are going.

I have so much to catch up on at Deviant Art that I decided not to respond to faves, journals or comments for a while.

Please know that I am getting well and that I am enjoying uploading art here again.

And, I want to thank all of my dA friends for the faves, comments and sympathy you are sending my way.

I appreciate them all!

Here we are, the first day of February...in the year 2009. Wow!

What an emotional roller coaster our government has been subjecting us to, eh? I must admit that I am so sick of the media, the talking heads, the holier than though political pundits, that I will not listen to them any longer.

Although the weather is still presenting us with low 30s and even upper 20 temps, Spring is stepping through the door here in North Florida. The Red Buds are blooming, as are the white pear trees. Some Azaleas, as well.

Please tell me if you get overwhelmed with flower photos!! I promise to try to restrain myself. :D

Until next time,

Peace!

It's now my turn to feature three thumbs from 17 deviants. The first 17 to comment in this journal will get a slot and will have to do the same feature in their journal. Plus they'll have to feature me.

So I will begin with Lechtonen:iconlechtonen:
