It's all about the foot pain

A friend of mine has reminded me that it has been a months since my last post.  Well I have been dealing with some health issues, and I have tried just about everything imaginable to get the needed surgery paid for.  Medicaid, Adult Medical Program, and a call to Social Services to see if there is any help there for me.  None!  Not to my surprise, I don't have kids and I'm not dissabled, and I make too much money working part time.  What a joke this health care system is.  I don't have insurance through my employer because I don't work enough  hours,  so I'm SOL.  I even  went on the "wish upon a hero" website to see if I could get donations, and I only got one, and that was from my best friend.  This crappy weather is not a prime time for me to paint, my heart is just not into it.  I have two paintings that I can swap out for the ones that are winter scenes, just to keep up on the seasons.  I have to frame the one, and make a few minor corrections on it.  But as soon as I get this next consultation about the surgery, then I can start focussing on something else, and hopefully start a new painting.
