The Idiot Speaketh

The Idiot Speaketh

Dealing with disability and chronic illness through the exploits and humor of a self-professed middle-aged idiot. A former Nurse, I became disabled with a spinal cord injury in 1999. In recent years I’ve added a rare Autoimmune Disease to my portfolio and also battle Depression and Anxiety. At heart, I’m a goofball and deal with my stress through humor. It helps that I’ve dealt with some totally offbeat situations in my life. I’m also a successful self-taught artist and am usually happily painting every moment my health permits.
