My husband’s progress

I haven’t been arting much these days since my husband was unexpectedly admitted to hospital. As you can see here he is much better and scrolling through all his emails on his laptop.  Today will be day 16 of his hospital stay. He had an allergic reaction to the medium used for a CT scan he had on February 8th. He is so allergic his heart stopped; luckily he was in the emergency at the hospital already and they put him on life support.  He swelled up all over his body but his head looked like a pumpkin.  He is getting physio to relearn how to walk after being sedated for 7 days.  The sedated created a lot of confusion in his mind but he coming around to the fact that he was not beaten up by a gang of creeps in an alleyway (but by the nurses and doctors in emergency trying to get his heart restarted!).

I wasn’t intending to draw him, it all started with the Dixie cup but happy to record his progress in my pocket Stillman and Birn sketchbook.
