My June was full of caring for my grandpa after a total knee replacement. It went great until it didn't and we were in and out of the hospital. I got a decent amount of drawing done. I even have a dedicated insert in my new traveler's notebook for the community challenges. I did the intro and first two challenges, but I ended up spending about 15 hours at the hospital a day and just wanted to go to bed when I got home instead of turning on the scanner. I didn't even have the energy or willpower to take a photo and tinker with it on my phone. I'm hoping to catch up soon when real life settles down a bit more. My grandpa is getting better slowly. His knee is fantastic and the only real issue is his low sodium, which the doctors haven't been able to find a cause or even sustainable treatment. Mainly he's weaker from not being able to get out of his hospital bed.

My dad had knee replacement surgery on both knees, and being over 70 years, I know how complicated and exhausting it can get. It's a slow process at this age, but I hope the healing is going well so far. *sends good vibes*

I'm hoping to catch up soon when real life settles down a bit more.

Yeah, most important is to take care of yourself whenever you can. Glad you're keeping in touch with us here. :)
