Here is a drawing that I've been working on to promote kidney health. I've been doing most of it during my treatments, and my unit social worker saw me working on it, and she asked if she could publish it in our company's newsletter. It is also going on the message board at my church (my pastor literally begged me to hurry and finish it). Sorry for the lousy image, but I don't have a picture scanner, so I just photographed the sketch pad with my camera.

Thanks, Sluff. I used to do alot of drawing (I was in a bunch of art classes in middle school), but I kind of stopped for awhile. I've started getting back into it a little since I started dialysis, because it gives me something good to do during those long hours in the chair. Sure beats counting how many times the blood pump goes around :).

Adam, my first thought when i seen your drawing was:  Epoman would love this guy, especially cuz you added our site to your drawing.  Thank you for sharing that with us.  The details on the machine are amazing,  keep up the great work,   :2thumbsup;
