FOR 2025-14

It may seem like an odd image for a flash of red but it this sums up the month so far- seeing doctors, figuring out health issues and how to treat them, making choices and moving forward. I was sitting in the examining room waiting for the GP and noticed the artwork on the wall paper and thought it looked rather vintage in style, so snapped a quick shot. After playing around with several options today that were more traditional as far as February 14th goes, it seemed this shot was the more appropriate one for me now. So here it is! Thankfully the red box containing used syringes was not part of my examine or treatment. I do not like shots and even getting blood drawn makes me turn white as a sheet. lol

Such a striking contrast between the red box and the intricate art on the wall. It cleverly presents art and something of function side by side. Navigating health issues can be a challenging journey.

I like the way you process this most unique subject for the day. I’m sorry to hear you’re spending so much time seeing doctors. The waiting is off in the hardest part of trying to figure out how to go forward with an issue. Keeping you in my prayers.

I like the painting on the wall. Brightens up the room better than the sharps box.

[Rob Z]

You ended up with such an interesting contrast of elements.I love the background image but the red box was a puzzle. Reading your narrative made it all make sense. I hope things sort themselves out for you.

[Judith Johnson]

The artwork is beautiful. A fitting image for your situation, but do hope things are improving

Many thanks for your kind words and well-wishes. I am not facing anything catastrophic, so not to worry. I have to make some life-style changes, but all is treatable and non-life-threatening. And if I stick to the changes the medication I have to take at present can be discontinued- a great motivator for me!

[l.eggzy (Linda)]

Terrific flash of red.
Hope you are able to get your health issues sorted :)

[Casablanca]

@olivetreeann Ah that is good to hear. Continuing to wish you well as you adjust and re-think.

[katy]

@olivetreeann so good to know and thanks for letting us stay informed

[Corinne C]

A beautiful image with a contrast between the soft art work and the intense red seringue box.
