Self portrait as flower

Chronic pain is a waste of life’s precious time, its a huge hold up. But if you have to deal with it then you have to find a way to cope through the awful journey and survive it.  Before my precious implant (Professor Teddy I love you!!), I couldn’t move much without pain, everything hurt and it hurt all the time. And yet, my gorgeous friends and family kept telling me ‘but you look so good for someone who’s in pain all day!’ (Uum… thanks??)

When a few, rare, blissful days came I drew and painted what it felt like to look ‘so good’ but be unable to move freely, incapacitated, limited, just simply ‘around’ and watching life go by.
