Wife, Mom, Former Executive, now #disabled by #LongCOVID.

When I feel up to it, I try to use #ArtTherapy 🎨 to express what life is like as a LC patient 🖼️ & raise awareness. I also paint flowers 💐🌺🌻 to bring a little joy.
“Long Covid: Delay, Deny, Appeal, Repeat” by me, Sam Norpel (10/2024)

This painting features actual quotes from SSDI finding I’m disabled, to denial that I need cog therapy, to a new request for another neuro psych evaluation./7

DMing with a LC patient about our #LongCOVID #SuicidalIdeation inspired my next 🖼️.

“Shattered Life: Long Covid” by me, Sam Norpel (February 2023)

I painted this explain to explain why even though I was physically better than a year prior, I was emotionally at my worst. Grieving the life I had lost, family & finances strained. I still find myself angry & grieving 2 years later. /2
