I completely understand how the Chiari diagnosis would be a welcome relief / vindication however. <br /><br />What a terrifying surgery - thank goodness that overall you have had such a positive result. I'm so sorry that more lies ahead for you - it is great however that you are in such 'good surgical hands'.<br /><br />Your creation speaks volumes about the condition. It's an astounding make with wonderful symbolism and tremedous range of techniques and details. I definitely wouln't call it a mess!! It's BRILLIANT art. <br /><br />Nicola x<br /><br /><br /><br />Paper Profusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307545011423409239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988193000034637284.post-65366468003154692372013-09-29T01:54:53.932-04:002013-09-29T01:54:53.932-04:00Mary Elizabeth your story is amazing!

You're right - the word "amputation" applied to one's brain would definitely send you into meltdown...<br /><br />And while I'm happy that the first surgery was so successful, I'm so sorry to hear you seem to be heading back for more... and I do wish you so much luck with the next stages as they unfold.<br /><br />But in the meantime, what an astounding make - and in the same way that your story is full of extraordinary elements, this make is full of amazing details and ideas. What a fantastic post altogether. Thank you.<br />Alison xxWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.com
