IMO my art pales in comparison to this description (drawing split ribs wasn't a challenge I was ready to take on rn) but I wanted to get the idea out and play with colors

" His chest had been sliced open from the continental shelf of his ribs to the mountain range of his collarbone: folds of crystal skin peeled away, ropes of glassy muscle slick with rainbow blood, the rocky breastbone split, ribs pulled back."

ugh that sounds terrible, I'm so sorry you're still going through it. you've probably already thought of these, but pneumonia? bronchitis? RSV? certainly sounds worse than common cold, and anything that affects your breathing badly is pretty scary

I am not aware of it.... pls send to me
