It's been an extremely long week here in my cozy end of the world as I've been on a long battle of recovery with my health since last Sunday afternoon. By the time Monday morning came around, I found myself sitting in the local ER, waiting to be treated. Two hours later, I was sent home with a prescription for a strong cough medicine in hand. That was it!
Two days later, I visited my family medical doctor only to be diagnosed with bronchitis and severely injured ribs/muscles from violent coughing spells. Since then, I've been confined to bed, struggling to recover and regain my strength. Let me tell you, it's not been a pleasant journey at all!
Tonight (Saturday), is the first day I've been able to sit up fully on the sofa to read, write, etc. It's been nice but I can tell I still have several more days of recovery to follow. But, I'm here and hoping everyone else is doing well.
Please enjoy the first perspective sketch above, for my independent study at school.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been so ill. Sounds horrendous that you injured your ribs from coughing so violently. I hope you're on the mend now. This is my first week ever participating in Sunday Sketches as I've seen so many of my fellow art bloggers with your button on their sidebar and now finally I'm getting a chance to join in.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're ill, hope you'll feel better soon.

I'm sorry you've been so sick! This aweful cold has been going around here and my grandkids both had it. Thankfully you are on the mend now! I'm loving the yummy looking rolls and coffee you sketched this week. Thanks for hosting SS!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend...I had something like that last September and it totally wiped me out. No fun at all. Sweet drawing of your coffee and treat! Be gentle with yourself and thanks again for this Sunday Sketchers link.
ReplyDeleteOh poor you, hope you are feeling better by now! Take it easy now and give yourself time to recover! Lovely sketch and thank you for hosting Sunday Sketches! <3
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel properly better soon. That must have been some cough to have caused bruising.
