Nature Sounds While The IV Drips - Work in Progress

This is the second work in a trilogy titled Keeping Score - Jacob’s first work post cancer - and inspired by Bessel van der Kolk’s book The Body Keeps The Score. It is a journey to understanding illness. Nature Sounds while the IV Drips is about the endurance and survival of the battle itself including sustained stays in a hospital room alone with your thoughts while connected to chemotherapy.
