    My daughter's artwork

    Sheena's interpretation of herself with her metal hardware.
    She drew this on the computer this evening, she plans on going into digital graphics animation.

    Please don't anyone get offended, her friends teased her before surgery and nicknamed her "The Cripple". It was a great stress reliever for her instead of always worrying and being serious about it all the time. They're a great bunch of kids, they were very supportive of her before and after the surgery.

    That is soooooo fantastic and such a constructive way to express her emotions! I can only speak for my self, but the term 'cripple' is just a word and certainly doesn't bother me.

    Sheena is very talented. You must be very proud of her!

      Sheena is very talented...you must be proud of her work! It looks like she's taking this experience with a grain of salt, and at least trying to keep a lighthearted outlook on the situation. I have found that keeping a sense of humor goes a long way in getting through difficult times. I wish her much success in her endeavors

        I really like her drawing! I'm into animation and manga myself, it's really cool XD. Heh, I say I'm a cyborg now so =P my family had been calling me the Twisted Sister before hand, so it is kind of a stress reliever to have little nick-names like that XD so you can be humorous about the whole thing. My dad also started calling me Zipper back now but I don't like that nickname quite as much >_>;

        good luck to her with animation!

          That is so cool. I will show Esme - she will love it too.

                  Thanks all for your kind comments. Sheena got all the creative talent in the family, I'm very proud of her and her outlook on this situation. I'm excited to see what she'll do with her art in the future.

                  Sanah,
                  Are you on Deviant art? She goes by Italuv and puts out a lot of work on there. She's really into manga too.

                            I'm going to show that to Savannah. She likes art also and I think it will cheer her up.

                            I think your daughter is very talented!
