Back in Chicago Again
Well I am officially back in Chicago after winter travels, and yes, winter is right where I left it here. On Monday I’ll be starting back up with anaplastology in UIC’s Maxillofacial Prosthetics Clinic again. And then mid semester, around the beginning of March I’ll be heading down to Texas to intern with The Medical Art Prosthetics Clinic in Dallas. If I play my cards right, this looks to be my last semester with UIC. First and foremost on the list with that comes finishing up my project research in time to present this semester. That’s the patient education piece on those craniofacial surgeries. It’ll be tricky, with all the intern hours and moving around the states I’ll be doing, but it is possible. I’m also looking at taking on a bit of video work, digitizing some tapes of interviews with some of the victims of thalidomide poisoning from those cases back in the 60s. I’m also still selling prints from that painting and keeping the Cafe Press store. I’d actually really like to find the time to paint some more here, but it’s difficult getting to do everything. For right now, I’m just trying to get my home in order for the upcoming week. It’s been a great vacation, and now I guess it’s time to get back to work.
