Hi @saturnzoon Back from the drs. Said the infection was worse than the "just beginning" I thought it was and he said that that could be part of why feeling so bad and not coping. Has put me on some fairly high dose antibiotics and I have to go back on Tues am. Said would look then at whether to consider any other meds as he did not want to give me anything new at the same time as antibiotics. Should start to kick in within a day or so and see how I go then.
Others were interested in watching me colour and I suggested they put some adult colouring and pencils etc in the waiting room for people to use.

Hey @cutiepiekitty I bought the pens from Aldi too and my colouring has really been inspired by them. Trying to just use them for highlights in pencil pictures tho' coz they run out of ink pretty quickly. Thanks for telling me about them, I've rediscovered my colouring book collection and been starting my day doing some. It's really helped me unwind lately after the hectic 3 weeks I've just had.

@eth great to hear. A friend has printed off some pictures with helpful sayings and given to me to colour, 2 to a page. Some that I like are:
-My true self emerges through life's beautiful cycle of change and growth (with a butterfly and flowers)
-Be stronger than you were yesterday
-Breathe (a few different ones)
-In the depths of this cold dark place I will sing a song of myself and rise whole, shining, and strong (a flying bird with the words on a ribbon)
-Be proud of every step you take
-When nothing goes right, go left....Just don't stop.
I especially like this one, which I was doing at the docs. If you look closely, it is a small hand on top of a big one
