Art – as pain relief
Rahul, 16 years of age, has Juvenile arthritis. He has been receiving palliative care for many years. He cannot walk due to deformities in his legs and require support for his daily activities. He lives with his mother and his younger brother, who also has Juvenile Arthritis. We at Pallium India have been privileged to be their co-travellers.
Rahul often experiences severe pain and he finds great relief when indulging in his favourite hobby – drawing. Even though he has deformities in his fingers and cannot hold a pencil properly, he always wants to draw. He is so good at it, despite his limitations. Its a joy to watch him intent at his work, poring over his drawing, and his favourite theme is Lord Ganesha. See some of Rahul’s drawings and you will know what we mean. Cheers to our young champion!
