Prescription Infliction

plastic prescription bottles, 1⁄4” aluminum tubing, paracord, fishing line

There’s a fine line between what modern medicine can do for us and to us. I find myself on that edge between gratitude and resentment. Many times, I could have died without it, but side effects sure can be difficult.

I’m trying to stay active and enjoy life, despite a lengthening list of physical “challenges.” Grew up wishing I’d lived in medieval times, but I wouldn’t have survived. Love art, nature, science, math, history, geology, and books galore!
