Only 6 more weeks before I have to start placing them in good homes!
Ventura Fashion Week (one night only) is kinda a big thing. At least for the photographers who almost outnumbered the models.
Week eight of fifty-two.
I got this sweatshirt for Christmas. It's way to big but I wear it anyways.
i did not cut my head off on purpose.
Post double lung transplant (6 weeks)
6-week Bronchoscopy
November 11th 2010
A Bronchoscopy (Bronch) is where they stick a tiny tube down your throat and look around inside the lungs. I was in a twilight state, so I didn't know what was going on.
This procedure is done to make sure there is no infection, rejection, or anything else going on inside the new transplanted lungs.
The images you see above are the Tracheobronchial tree. There were 6 portions, as you see above.
The results were great. I had no infection or rejection or anything else going on.
-----------------------------------------------
RESULTS- (word for word)
The nasopharnx/oropharnynx appears normal. The larynx appears normal. The vocal cords move normally with phonation and breathing. The subglottic space is normal. The trachea is normal caliber. The carina is sharp. The tracheobronchial tree was examined to at least the first subsegmental level. Bronchial mucosa and anatomy are normal. There are no endobronchial lesions, and no secretions.
Anastomoses Examination: The surgical anastomosis in the right & left mainstream bronchus is normal.
BAL was performed in the lingula and sent for cell count, bacterial culture, viral smears & culture, fungal & AFB analysis and compromised host protocol.
100 ML of fluid were instilled. 60 ML were returned. The return was clear.
Transbronchial biopsies were performed in the LLL lateral basal segments and in the LLL posterior basal segment using forceps. The procedure was fluoroscopically guided. Ten biopsy passes were performed (took 10 pieces of my lung for biopsy) Estimated blood loss: minimal.
The blue you see is stitches and the yellow you see is normal.
Final Results: The results came back good, but I do have minimal rejection (air-way inflammation/CMV), which is normal. Everyone who has a transplant has rejection. They increased my Cellcept (anti-rejection medication) from 500 MG 2x daily to 1,000 MG 2x daily. My next Bronch will be in January 2011, and they'll go from there.
"Gathered On An Autumn Walk."
Not quite into the glorious colour of changing leaves yet but plenty of nuts & seeds about.
I plan to use this in week 16 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

The first year is documented in this book:
This photo has not been edited or processed. I am uploading on someone else's laptop, with a rural Portuguese internet connection.
There are fewer derelict houses in the Algarve than there were 5 years ago, but these can still be found with little searching.
Those of you who look at geo-tags may have noticed that my photo came from Leith last week, and Tavira this week. I have been home in between! Wonderful Husband and I have a very scattered family. Sometimes this seems good (for holiday purposes) but other times less so good.

Olive had a great week. Mommy did not. The last three weeks she's been the happiest she's ever been. She's been sleeping better, loves socializing, rolling like crazy, pulling her knees under her when she's on her belly and blowing raspberries like no one's business. But in the last three weeks she's gained no weight. The doctor has us supplementing with formula and I'm taking supplements, eating protein and drowning in gatorade. After going 4.5 months without a drop of formula, I was heartbroken to give her a bottle on Tuesday. After turning a corner on reflux, she's begun to spit up buckets again. But.. she's still happy and strong. She could care less what she eats. And if she starts gaining weight, then I guess I don't care either. I imagine parenthood is all about adjusting and letting go, I'm just getting some practice in early.
this week we are chilling in Puerto Vallarta. I got a nice pedicure for my poor dry feet.
Internet has been flakey so I m saving this photo to be uploaded till I am able to....
In which I show off my new ice spikes and wish I'd brought my old crampons with me.

i have to say that i'm really looking forward to being able to sleep on my stomach again!
this past week i learned that i do NOT have gestational diabetes (yay!) but i AM anemic (boo!), so i'm taking an iron supplement when i remember & trying to not be too crabby about it. for some reason it really bummed me out, but i think i was kind of overreacting.
last weekend i had lunch with my friend elizabeth from high school, who's about 13 weeks pregnant right now & seems to be experiencing a lot of the pregnancy stuff that i missed out on (like morning sickness & mood swings!) -- just to reiterate, man, am i lucky.
we also finally selected a doula -- her name is grace, & she seems pretty neat. i feel better now that i have that nailed down. i guess the two big things left to figure out are the pediatrician situation & the daycare/nanny situation. they both seem like really enormous projects but they both really need to be taken care of within the next months, so i guess the procrastinating needs to end. man, i so don't know what i'm doing!
It is a Tradition of the Catholic faithful to do Visita Iglesia during Holy Week.
Visita Iglesia is a Lenten tradition of Roman Catholics to visit seven churches to contemplate on the passion and sufferings of Jesus Christ and say two Station of the Cross per visit.
Others, visits fourteen.
Back after a long hibernation. Didn't get to touch my camera for a couple of months and I see that all of you have already on week 18. Feels like waking up after a long sleep. Sometimes life pushes you through various situations and one needs to prioritize.
Attended the #flickr10 photo walk today in #bangalore. This guy asked us to take his picture and posed for us.
PS: Please don't smoke. It Kills.
Il Ministro dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca, Stefania Giannini, presenta nel contenuti e tappe della missione che svolgerà in Cina in occasione della sesta edizione del Forum Italia-Cina sull’Innovazione e della “China-Italy Scienze, Technology & Innovation Week 2015” che si terrà dal 16 al 20 novembre prossimi a Pechino, Chongqing, Shanghai e Tianjin.
Right then, a new year,a new project.
After giving the 365 a go last year, and stopping because I found myself just taking pictures to fill the gaps, I've decided to do a picture a week.
Taking the time to MAKE a picture, rather than just TAKE one.
Hopefully this goes a little better than last year.
No school this week again. It was a good week for me (: this book i'm pretending to read, again -.- is awesome, pretty inspiring. agh i'm tired to write. i dont like this photo at all :/ but its so cold and i'm not feeling so well. sorry!

Take the strain from your shoulders,
I'll be your pillow.

Week: 38
Circumference: 43"
Belly Button: Looks like its pouting. Maybe it is.
Enjoying: Enough energy for a day-long improv class. Making some progress at 1.5cm dilation.
Feeling: Some signs of labor. The baby definitely dropped. I don't know why they call it lightening since it feels very heavy. I feel like the inside of my tailbone is bruised.
Movement: She's been squirmy. Especially at night. A little less so today but still in the "things are OK" range.
Sleep: A lot harder to come by this week. Either my brain is racing, I'm uncomfortable or a Braxton-Hicks contraction wakes me up. One dead-to the world sleep last night since the contractions let up for about a day.
Food: Pretty much standard eating habits. Got some fruit popsicles which have been tasting very good. Been craving chocolate pudding. But that is completely normal for me.
Anticipating: The end of the waiting. I've been tying up as many loose ends at work as possible.
Week 25/52 ~ "Water"
So this week I am finally home from a whirlwind trip. Well, home for two weeks and then we are off again. But it is great being able to relax and try something new. And you can bet there will be some Hammock time in the backyard this weekend.
So this week got inspired to try something totally different. I started following a photographer by the name of Joel Robison. Don't know if you all have heard of him (I never had). But I kind of liked what I saw.
This is my interpretation of an inspired image I saw. Doesn;t even remotely come close, but it was certainly fun putting together. Tripod and a few paper boats....Viola!!!
Happy Weekend to ALL!!!
BIG Huge HUGS....

Well this was a definite challenge. I had no idea what a composite was when I started. This week was my daughters cheer competition in Abbotsford. As I thought about what I wanted to accomplish for a composite, I thought I would take the my daugheter's eye and expand the pupil and add a cheer image. Well I am not yet advanced enough to do this but after about 3-4 hours and experimentation with a brand new program to me this is what I came up with. I am happy with this first attempt at a composite image.
