Painting Slowdown

I slipped in the snow Tuesday morning and broke my left fibula. I had to have surgery Tuesday afternoon to put a plate on the bone to immobilize the ankle. I've been floating in and out of consciousness since then.

Painting figures has been just about the furthest thing from my mind. It may be slow around here for a while.

The good news is this. Once I start to heal, I won't be able to do much but paint! So I guess every grey cloud has its silver lining.

But yeah. Breaking a leg sucks. Ouch.

    I know what breaking a fibula is like...really small bone, really big pain and very little mobility. The thing is, that once it healed, the pain comes back now and then when the weather changes.

    All the best and I look forward to your painting and posts.

    Yeee-ouch!
    That REALLY sucks. I hope you get better soon brother.
    What a crappy thing to have happen to you.
    As we get older our bodies don't heal as fast. Stay tough through the process.

    Been there, done that, and hope never to do it again.

    Take care, take it easy and make sure you get sufficient rehab.
