A few months ago, my first artistic love came out of its festering uber-sithy cave and clobbered me on the noggin, so now I have to pay it some attention or else go totally nuts.  Consequently, I can't seem to stop drawing pictures of Anakin and Padmé and scribbling two fan-fics on the subject at the same time.   Also I have fallen in love with Cade from Star Wars: Legacy, who makes Anakin Skywalker look like a freekin cub-scout.  More on that, but not here.  It wasn't exactly what I as trying to accomplish when I started my latest drawing binge, but I guess we take what is given, right?

This Star Wars thing has been going on for a very long time.  I will confess to you now that beside my Lion King crap, I have a huge collection of Star Wars junk in the basement: including, but not limited to a lightsaber, a stormtrooper gun, a ginormous millennium falcon, and enough action figures to staff the Death Star.  So, rather than keep my other light under a bushel, I have decided to upload all of my human oriented art to DarthLemming (darthlemming.deviantart.com), and my Lion King/Anthro art here.   

Hopefully I can get this all done quickly...

Hopefully…

About a week ago, my wonderful Mac iBook died a gruesome and horrible death.  I will not go into a details - but the guy at the Mac store said that the damage was so severe, that it wasn't going to make it.  So i bid fare thee well to my old Mac, and used my income tax return money to get a new one.   Happily, the old Mac's hard-drive was the only thing to survive the debacle, and I was able to transfer all my precious files to a brand new MacBook Pro.  (I back up my Mac once per week anyway...)

Requiem in pace, my faithful old Mac.  You are gone, but your data lives on... :rose:

The mourning period was rather short because I am very happy with this new computer.  The keyboard lights up, and this will be a great help to me when I return to work.  The screen resolution is amazing, and all of my stuff is just where I left it on the old laptop.    Snow Leopard OSX is not much different from Leopard, so there is no trouble switching on my part.  Additionally, the computer is much faster and has a lot more storage than the old one.  (Plus it came with a free iPod Touch that my niece will NOT quit playing with!!!  I gave her my old one, but it's clear she wants my new one instead, because it can do all kinds of cool stuff.)

Anyway, I am going to plug myself in and go to bed now.  

G' Night all.  :typerhappy:

Thank You!

Hi All.

First, I would like to take this opportunity to thank ALL of you who read this journal and enjoy my art.  Your responses have been amazing and have helped me through a lot of very hard places.  You are all wonderful, thoughtful people.  :heart:

Second, my birthday was very nice.  Dave made homemade ravioli and i got a Boston Creme Cake.  I got some lavender bath gel, some chocolates, and best of all, a live miniature potted rose!!!  It has beautiful deep red flowers and a light scent.  My awesome niece picked it out.
She is such a great kid!  :cake:

And lastly, the horrible PEG tube is gone forever!  Yay!  The doctor looked at it, deflated it, and popped it out just like that! When he was about to begin the procedure, the nurse asked if she should start an IV.  Nah, he said, just get me him a syringe.  Then he got a stack of 4x4s (a kind of gauze pad used in wound dressings) and some antibacterial salve.  He opened the valve that had been used to inflate the little balloon that kept the tube in my stomach and used the syringe to suck out the normal saline inside.  Then he simply slid the tube (it felt so weird when the balloon end popped out) and slapped down the stack of 4x4s to stop any drainage.  Then he taped the sucker down really well and told me how to care for the wound and why I should not be concerned about peritonitis (a potentially lethal infection caused by the leakage of gastric juices into the abdomen). :puke:

It turns out that my body made a small tunnel around the PEG tube to protect itself, and so there is no exposure now to any stomach fluids!  So, as soon as the tube was removed, that area will begin to close up any holes.  When everything is healed, the protective tunnel itself will be dismantled and reabsorbed.  Damn, the body is such an amazing and durable machine!!! :wow:

Ok, the gross stuff is done.  :boogie:

Hooray!!!  I am just about to go back to the hospital to get this nasty PEG tub of mine removed.  A PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube is placed in a patient's stomach via an incision in the abdomen, so they can feed you yummy proteins and stuff while you are unconscious or recovering from some kind of trauma or surgery.  I haven't needed mine for over a month.  

So, as today is my birthday, my present to myself is to get it yanked.  Truthfully, I was ready  to gnaw it off myself like some useless appendage.  

Well, wish me luck!!!

Well, it's been a really frustrating week.   I have been trying to get several appointments to see doctors to tie up loose ends, but I keep running into annoying roadblocks.  Apparently, I need to see my primary care doc to be able to see another doc who will take my PEG tube out.  I DON"T have a primary care physician.  (YET) However, another week begins and I will attack that issue from another angle -- now that I now have procured better information from medical records.  Very annoying.  It was like going into battle with no weapons.  So we shall see.  

On another front, I have been working to keep this dumb trache of mine de-gunked.  I would really like to rip it out myself and put a dressing over the hole, and then call it a day, but my brother says I have to wait for the sleep-apnea thing.   Damn, I hate waiting.  

Another frustration is that I don't have a working scanner at home, so I have to draw my shadows panels using my tablet.  Annoying, as I prefer to sketch with a pencil, but i think I am getting the hang of it now.   

Regardless, page 47 is all set up and ready for inking.  I am also halfway thru page 48...  I am hoping to upload something in the next few days if I make good use of my time and stay on task.
