It's beautiful!! I'm sorry you are suffering so young so am I and I also use art to cope it's very healing. I have two rare autoimmune diseases that disabled me @ 27 yrs old so I've been a stay at home sick mom and wife for 7 years now and miss my health so much. If you dont mind me asking what's going on with you? I love your pic you are very talented!!

@hulselis health brings a freedom people
don't realize until they no longer have it. I too am sorry you suffer at such a young age ๐ข. While I choose to keep hold on to my full time job it's at the sacrifice of my health and quality of life. (a whole other story of how some how it makes me feel normal). Anyway to answer your question, I don't mind sharing my health journey. I am a open book about my struggles hoping somehow it helps others cope. In summary, I have some sort of neuropathy that causes My organs to shut down or not function correctly. because of this I have gastroparesis and a digestive paralysis which means my food stays in my stomach and or intestinal track for days (for example a test showed after 8 days all markers were still in my ascending colon) I also have diabetes, thyroid problems and other problems relating to my organs not working like they should. So a couple years ago I had my colon removed it (stopped working completely) and well,one thing after another in and out of the hospital and 14 major surgeries. But this wasn't enough I guess..On top of this I in a car accident breaking my neck and causing a serious spinal cord injury and a whole other set of problems. I recently just underwent my 4th spinal surgery and my neck is now fused with rods and screws from the base of my skull (C2) all the way to mid back (T2). The result of this is more neuropathy and daily chronic pain. I guess you will understand that when you are faced with challenges like this you have two choices lay in bed and take medicine or get up and do your best to figure out what ever normal means for you. Being a wife and a mom is a full time job, I know,
So hats off to you. ๐ i am thankful that I have an amazing family that supports me and a stubbornness that keeps me getting back up everyday. I think the hardest part of being sick is not having any way of ever escaping it, so I can only make the best of it.. and well as you know, some days that really sucks!

@lauriechris This is so beautiful! I suffer from chronic illness as well and I used art to help me to not think about how sick I really am. I stopped everything that had to do with any of my art work. I just can't get back into it. It makes me to happy to see how stunningly beautiful this piece is. Thank you for making me smile. ๐

@dkjewelry your are such a beautiful person! I love your positive energy and always kind encouragement and words! Thank you! It may be hard to tell but the flowers have gemstones in them. I will post the rest to share. I had my paintings (meet the seller) in with some of my hubby's army stuff and I had a scary customer... So I took it down. So I need to add the paintings ๐๐
