Hmm...the date you posted for your update is 9/30/08, but you must mean 9/03, yes?
Anyway, I don't believe you ever talked about the problem with your vision or sense of direction...I'm not sure it's really a direction problem, the way you describe it. It must have been a terrible sense of disorientation.
You know, there are people with short-term memory problems who can only keep things in perspective by making copious notes about everything they're doing. In your case, you need to use maps and gps devices to keep yourself in balance, but at least you are able to remember how to use them and you haven't lost the concept about what they mean.
The paintings are good, but while I could never qualify as an art critic, I am able to discern some perspective difficulty. I didn't know you ever did oil paintings, so it would be helpful to see some you did before this strange malady struck you.
Did you ever find the cause? Could it have been a virus?
Anyway, please forgive if this reply seems too rambling. I just got home from work, and I'm pretty tired. Time for some sleep. All my best to Christinasa.

Roberto! So sorry dear, didn't you have the doc give you an NMRI testing and such as yet? Could this be from the bar fight with that Aussie slob, or a spill from braking in some young Phily? ~*(G'HuGS!)*~ Long Live RAMS! ><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

TY for the observation, and changed the date accordingly and added the photo that could not be viewed of Christinasa. Good input Roland and TY. RAMS

An oil painting I did before, here at this link and here below as posted: www.behold-the-rage.com/artpage1.htmlThis also was the last major work I did before that event happened. And Roland is correct also in that I had to make notes of anything and everything that had to be planned out and how to get back to certain areas in the Sonora and Coronado desert, for example. Now, it is all back but it was totally weird and I was baffled. Now, I am back to my totally complete insane self which is also equally disturbing, as you might surmise.

Oh, almost forgot to say that Christinasa says hello to everyone on the board and that she will give a 'Robert' report when she is online. RAMS

Roberto aren't you and Christinasa as worried as I am about the coming end of the Space Shuttle program and the five year or more wait while we have to depend on the Russians for our gateway into orbit until our new space vehicles are put into service? ><Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

I believe that Obama has stated we need to speed up the replacement program, and perhaps NOT scrap the shuttles until it's ready.

And here is the latest painting, 1 of the 5 I've now done in the last month. And also, I've been doing a lot of modeling for different Art Leagues around here in WA state now that I am back in the US. I have modeled before so sort of know hat artist want for a pose. This is at behold, but thought I'd post it here. And this is me 2 days ago posing at one of the art studio sittings for the NW Art League. RAMS
