When It Hurts To Stand

The title of tonight’s abstract illustration is “Working With Sharp Pain”.

There are times when I am in so much pain that it takes all my strength to stand. I do not like to share this part of myself with many people but I have a disease that can cause me great discomfort. I choose to ignore it. I still train four hours a day. I still do everything I normally do but when it comes to just standing in one place for a long period of time the pain can be so intense that I feel nauseous. For two weeks I have been in pain but have worked through it. Tonight I honor this struggle with the illustration inspired by it.
