"Nobody_" was my attempt to document six years of medical trauma, quarantine, and infectious disease. I had one year between major spinal surgeries to try to get a grip on what happened to my body and identity from ages 16-23, hoping some closure would come before my spine was to be cut back open. What ensued were 72 pages of raw, rambling comics. Tuberculosis, c-diff, tumors, addiction, assault, and medical isolation. The following are excerpts from pages 24 and 25. 

 

With the ongoing pandemic, I feel these traumas at last serve a purpose beyond just hurting myself. I hope my experiences, both lived and survived, can be a source of information or empathy during this time. If you’d like a free digital copy of the entirety of "Nobody_" or any personal support through this pandemic quarantine, please be in touch. For once, I don’t feel quarantined alone. Thank you for being here with me.
