Sowhitey's Journal
I had a stroke in February 25, 2003. I felt right side leg and arm are numb. I kept sedated and then I come out of it in April 2003 (ish). I kept reading and reading . . . Slowly but surely, gets stronger EVERYDAY!!

My Art
Represententive of my shadow and my right vision field cut in Louis Vuitton Gallory.
My Field Cut is basically, "Vision loss can be caused by a variety of diseases and injuries, including age-related eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. In addition, stroke and traumatic head injuries can produce sudden and dramatic vision loss. There are many types of brain injury–related visual field deficits, and each type affects a person’s life in significant and sometimes devastating ways."

Have you every looked up close?
I have a problem. I got new prescription for glasses about a month ago. I had to have prism glasses from the mainland which takes about two weeks! And the first lasses came back wrong. Twiddle my thumbs, another two weeks on the mainland. With my OLD glasses, I could read the computer and watch the TV out of the lower part of the glasses, but with the NEW glasses I can see okay straight ahead, but I can not read and watch TV because of double vision. It's depressing. I had checked with my eye doctor and he said That's it. I have put my head down.
By the way, 6 months ago at night without my glasses I could read a book or Sudoko with one left eye. Before I had surgery in 2007, my right eye is stronger, so therefore I shut my left eye. So I don't know what happened to me!

My VERY first photo at Macy's
OOOooo! My VERY first photo and painting at Macy's!!!
Just to let you know of the background of this photo: I was one of the women featured in photos at the annual Heart Ball in Honolulu, all survivors of cardio-vascular disease, or have family members affected. Other survivors participated in a Macy's fashion show, Go Red for Women, during Heart Month last year. The photos are now on display on the 3rd floor of Macy's Ala Moana. It's the Anthurium flower, like a heart shape, as in Heart Ball for Valentine's day! The photographer was Arna Johnson, and Robert Pennybacker, a cancer survivor, wrote my story to go with the photo. Yeah!!!
Here's my paintings
