I live just beside a Church......and there are a lot of Crows in the bell tower. I have always wanted to paint them. The balcony ramp is mine.( the building was built in the 1940's , and there was a Skate factory here.and the contractors recuperated the ''scraps '' of the blades to use as ornaments for the apartment buildings where I live)...I sort of sketched my view of what I see at 4-5 am.but can not get on cam.

Well after 10 years and more of combating the CSST. ( The Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail ) Which is actually a workman's Government based, compensation insurance.
I have finally given up.
Even if after all the specialists I have seen, and that they ALL agree my shoulder's condition has worsened..and that the mobility is less than 80 % than normal. They decide ( the commission's doctors ) without even seeing me for a consultation., that is age related ?..and NOT due to a double fracture of the head of the humerus.
There had been 9 years of complications due to that...( inflammations of the rotator cuff, chronictendinitis, pinching of the axillary nerve, ect..) I accepted this condition.and pain.
BUT Now there is another condition : Shoulder Osteoarthritis.This is very rare..and it is caused by a trauma to the shoulder., and repeated inflammatory conditions..
It is now affecting the 2 joints of my shoulder.The Hawkins and Neer tests were positive also the Speed and Yergason tests.
Now.......I can tell you it is very painful.even at night. Lifting the arm overhead commonly produces pain (for example, putting the dishes in the cupboards).I also have a hard time to wash my hair.. untie my Bra,,,Drive a car..,,ect....sometimes it is impossible.I will NOT give you the long list of things I can no longer do.
Even after all the x-rays.bone scans.to show the damage, the CSST refused to accept my worsened condition. I had done everything.......( and the specialists ) to prove my condition.
Oh..they did accept a % of lost habitability..( 8 years ago )...and permenant damage...... But they refuse this last one.......
Why ?
Because this would be too expensive to admit my condition.
And accepting my condition would create a JURISPRUDENCE.and open a chance to other injured
workers that are combating for justice.
Can't have that....right ?
So I will continue to '' survive '' on the 580 $ a MONTH compensation that they generously give me to shut up ! That is 19.33 $ a day to live on........
It is so humiliating , they are treating me like a frauder.......a lier...I guess they can include the 3 specialists on that list too.







This is for a Special Lady.....Julie Stanton Welch.
First I would like for you to met Jade.
Jade had a diagnostic a couple of months ago with HCM.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition characterised by the inward thickening of the heart muscle, resulting in a reduction of chamber volume, thereby reducing the volume of blood that the heart can pump with each contraction.
This sadly....makes the cats at risk of developing congestive heart failure and sudden death.
Julie is an activist in supporting and gathering funds for FIP & HCM, at TICA & CFA shows.
Julie has lost Mariah and King at only a few months old to FIP.
FIP is Feline infectious peritonitis and it is a fatal incurable disease that affects cats.
When I saw a photo of Jade.....I just had to paint her.
I asked Julie for the permission to use Jade as a model for a painting.
The rest is history. :))
I am giving this painting to Julie.in support of all she does to fund the WINN Foundation to help find a cure to FIP.
Julie sells magnets and other beautiful things for the funding.
You can go here to help support FIP.

Thank you Julie for all your hard work !
