SPENT (my 1st abstract piece) shows what I think it looks like when we've given all we can as pain patients and finally reachout for help! You know, when you've exhausted all of your energy: you have taken your last step, spent your last buck, you're mortgaged to the hilt paying medical bills and monthly prescriptions. You cant move, you can't sit, you can't expell one more breath without some decent pain relief and how-about-a-little-BREAK?!?! Chronic Pain patients have all been there (notice the IVE HAD IT UP TO HERE eyes in the lowest right corner?) This is when my most effective prayer comes into play - "HELP!! NOW!! Please?" Thankfully, the help always comes.I'm SPENT!! 16x20x1 APF submission

Once again, Baby Sis, you are INCREDIBLE! Your talent blows me away. This piece says exactly what I feel and I know so many others who live with chronic and intractable pain feel the very same way. You speak volumes for us with your art and I am in awe of you.

I love you

Hello Radene. 1 week ago I had my pain specialist take out my unit after 5 years. In the last year it made me so miserable,with its burning the already damaged nerves. I feel better already. My doc can now have an M.R.I. on my spine to see what has taken place since it was first put in ! I have not looked back with my decision, having the unit adjusted time after time and having a revision completed as well. Thank you for listening. Regards, Nicoletti.Laughing
