Note from the Artist:

In 2019, Post Concussion Syndrome forced me into an early retirement. This is the story of my journey through life with chronic pain, loss of professional identity, isolation, and finding new purpose. Although I have a disability I am so much more than that. I am very able to do a great number of things that give me joy. This book is based on a quilt I made to share some of that story.
I am disabled, but I am also
This Abled...
