New graphic & a fic rec (NCIS) plus the state of me

[livejournal.com profile] xanthelj has written a fabulous sequel to her wonderful story, 'Andy'. It's called 'Ghosts' & forms a really lovely epilogue. I can totally recommend it.
She also asked me to make some cover art, which I was more than happy to do. :)

It's here: Ghosts art

On a less positive note, I went to see the doctor this morning. She's given me some antibiotics for now but is a bit stumped as no infection was showing up in my water sample. She's sent it away to the hospital for further testing.
I'm just hoping the antibiotics can sort it out - the symptoms are hellish. :(

I'm trying to keep my mind off them by being creative...

So, the current count is 4 out of 24 completed.

Honey, so sorry to hear about your problems & wondered if the following info will help - & that's presuming it's advice you've not already received.

When I worked we used to tell patients to drink at least 2 litres of cranberry juice over a short period of time depending on tolerance. It is researched-based - american - and as the cranberry is indigenous there one could think Hmm. But it works - I can personally vouch for that. The antibiotics seem to have a synergistic action & voila.

Love A

Thanks so much, A!
*hugs*

I had been drinking more CJ but must admit that I've stopped for the last few days as a friend mentioned that once the bladder wall was under stress from the infection, that the acid in the CJ would irritate it. I had planned to start again - as a preventative measure, hopefully - once this bout was over. I'm halfway through the antibiotics - I'll give the CJ a try again.
