In 2016 I needed a new hip. I got my spleen removed instead, to cure Chronic ITP. That didn’t work. Lots of my paintings with ovals represent platelets, or the lack of. The 2018 painting ,ala, Frida Kahlo, is of that surgery. 
Terrible Fall
I had Shingles in Sept., kidney infections in Oct, and Gregg mangled his thumb in Nov. It was a terrible fall.

Other extreme
495000 was the count after everything they threw at me in the hospital, early this month. Up from 6000 platelets. Norm is 300000. Blood, we’re working on it. Painting is good!

6000 Platelets
Some paintings I struggle with. This one came fast and furious.
