Multiple Sclerosis...

I have been dealing with some pretty serious health problems since April, which are still sticking with me.

I have Multiple sclerosis which is an auto immune disease where my immune system destroys the protective coating on the nerves in my brain and spinal cord causing inflammation on the nerves damaging them and stopping the information from getting from the brain to tell the body what it's supposed to do.

Right now, I'm unable to use my left hand because it doesn't act like a real hand instead it just does whatever it wants, the bad thing about that is that I am left handed and creating any of my ladies is impossible.

I have had four different courses of Solumedrol i.v. treatments, just finished my fourth yesterday. I am hoping that I will gain use of my hand back. Until then I will still be selling prints on my etsy store. I will keep you posted when I have new ladies to show.

Of course it's not all bad I've gotten pretty darned good at doing things one handed (I'm just not going to tell how long it took me to type this post. heh)
