Don't know why I didn't think of that - I used to use a board to support my paper while lying front-down on the carpet, elevating feet with a pillow for this exact reason, so barring comfort of such pose, yes it can be done, but with not as much ease of hand motion.

Reminds me of the old joke:
Doc: You'll need these tablets for your high blood pressure.
Patient: But I don't have high blood pressure!
Doc: You will once you've taken these other meds for your condition...
>User of MANY meds that have had to be switched or adjusted as well!

At least they are adjusting them - I've met quite a few people who had them adjusted waaay too late...

>> I do not usually discuss much of anything about my personal life online, but since it's obviously affecting things beyond my Real Life (tm), I'd figure I'd spill the beans.

And on spilling the beans, I'll say "Oh Mr Hardiman, what a mess!" For those who are not exposed to Australian advertising, this short humerous video will explain - Pro Hart is a famous artist Australian artist (who artistically hand painted his Rolls Royce), so doing what they did in regard to proving stain resistance of the carpet is almost sacrilege in destroying his art - see this link:

>>The artificial stent that I had replaced in May (which was causing some issues before then) was also replaced, as they determined it had shifted and was >>not properly allowing the kidney to drain like it's supposed to.
>>
Great - self pickling kidney... Just what you don't need...
>>So two surgeries and a shit ton of blood tests later, they put me on some heavy-duty steroids via IV for 3 days.
>>
No, we are not going to start calling you Arnie...
>> They had put me on Prednisone, which is probably one of the worst drugs out there as far as fucking up your body goes.
>>
It sounds like they've got you on half a chemist shop... O_O
>>Some of the wonderful side effects I'm getting to enjoy include having my hands cramp up...
>>
I believe many of the fools from the forums who look at your artwork have a similar problem, but from a different cause. ;-)
>> I can gain as much as 8-9 pounds of water weight in a single day because of these damn pills...
>>
That's huge - not wanting to sound unsympathetic, but certainly glad it is not me!
>>I'm in generally good health. I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall, weigh 155 pounds, have a 31-32 inch
waist, work out 1.5 to 2 hours every day (or did, prior to recent events), and have a strictly monitored diet where I count every calorie, carbohydrate, cholesterol, potassium, sodium, protein and fat amount in everything I eat.
>>
After your internal parts replacement program, it certainly sounds like your taking "staying fit, healthy and alive" extremely seriously.
>>I thought, after some consideration, that I should let folks know what's going on and why I've been so quiet lately.
>>
Nah, just thought you had a real life and weather had been too nice to sit at a computer indoors. :-)
>> My hope is that whatever this thing is, it'll get fixed soon so I can get back to my usual robust health and resume doing the things I like to do.
>>
I'm hearing you - if you haven't got your health, then not much else matters.
Hope the meds and boredom don't kill you and we look forward to having you back on deck soon. I'll try keep things working here meanwhile.
Scrapper, Black Dragon, life is full of things to do. :-)
