Spiny Tim is a haunting journal of a local artist’s battle with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS).
“It is difficult for me to write about my condition, because to commit to paper, so to speak, is to make it real. And even now, I am loath to make it real.
“Every morning I wake diminished, and I think to myself: if I don’t get any worse than this, then I will be able to go on. I will be able to relieve myself, put some food in my stomach, take care of the dog and the cat, and go be productive for someone. Every morning I wake to find that my hands are more useless, curled, and insensate, add that my legs are more distant meat objects, useful as stilts, perhaps, but not much else.
“And every morning I wake with fewer words.”
Spiny Tim once kept a blog titled Calebism, where he posted occasional images of his art.
