A slight setback—sangat sakit (very sick)

On Saturday afternoon, May 29th, before I was able to finish drawing and posting my Every Day in May challenge, I came down with a bug—chills and fever put me to bed and I slept for 14 hours. On Sunday, thinking I was better, I ventured out and then collapsed again that night with a high fever. On Monday, though I felt better, I went to the doctor (in a foreign country!!!) and was told I had a temperature of 38c. Being from the USA, I had no idea what the Fahrenheit equivalent was to that number, but I went home with something to reduce the fever and antibiotics for all the other bad stuff.

I am finally feeling better and the Every Day in May challenge completed.

    Hope you are feeling better now. Your drawing looks like someone who is not feeling well, all curled up in the comfort of their bed!

    I'm glad you are feeling better now! How awful that sounds. I have really enjoyed following your EDinM sketches - they are all so wonderful.

    Glad you are feeling better. This is a great sketch to remember it by even if you'd really rather forget.

    Sorry to hear you've been ill, a temperature over 39° is very high.
    I really liked your sketches especially the dragon fruit(completely new to me!) and the cat.

    Hope you are feeling better. I love the way your feet are out of the bed, so important in a hot country to keep your feet cool.

    Congratulations on finishing EDiM, I've really loved all your paintings.

    I hope you feel better. Love this sketch! Wonderful feel to it. However, judging from the picture, even if you are well, you have cold feet.

    Take care---I need to see what you do as it inspires me---I love when Maine woman is on top of her ideas...I hope you get completely well----I love the sketch and shivered to think how cold my feet would be outside the covers.
