Until late 2005
not many new paintings had been added to my pages on the site
since I had been allowed to add the Queen Mary 2 paintings at
the beginning of 2004. I had finished these paintings in June
2003, but this was heavy going: it took me over a week just to
sign them, constantly wiping off and redoing the characters.
My husband had to help me to varnish them. I could no longer
use my right hand.

It was obvious
that my long term multiple sclerosis was taking a different track
and at the end of August that year I was diagnosed with very
aggressive secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. That should
have been the end of my painting career, but click on the tower
to find out what happened next, with the help of some wonderful
people: my husband and the people working at Vanderbilt Clinic,
part of the University. This may also help other people in a
similar position, though hopefully not as bad as mine.
