Hi @Chasingsunsets Hope you're healing well. No real.news here. Today I saw a magpie and pigeon hanging out together - a bit different. Mags and noisy miners are often close, maybe mags and magpie larks too. Little ravens are around again.

Sending a cheerio @Cuddlebear , thinking of you and wondering what's happened the last few weeks. Not sure if you use a screenreader so I won't send emojis - imagine hugs and lots of hearts.

Hope you're ok @Chasingsunsets and your ankle is improving.
Do you have flying foxes? The poor things are starving here this year. I don't see them but responded to a narrative survey on birdlife and foodsources that was trying to get a handle on how much nectar is available. Not much fruit this time of year.

Hiya @Dimity hows your week been? Not very good phone reception lately.
a maggie and a pigeon hanging out together that’s funny haha. You have been seeing a variety of birds lately!
responding back on your previous post, I use to have two mood tracker apps however fallen a bit off the wagon with tracking. I use mood tracker- recently changed its name and Daylio. I hear you re survival mode too. How’s things going with your psych, still seeing them?
ankle is getting better not as quick as I’d like I am impatient lol. The weaker side seems to be going ok! What else have you been up to lately?
yes we get flying foxes, they have cute faces. Sad they are starving 😞 re reports.
lovely chatting, phone service patchy so might take a bit re replies

Hiya @Chasingsunsets Sorry to hear your phone is glitching yes looks as though it sent 3 times, glad it got through though.
Yes waiting on recovery can be a bit frustrating but best not to rush and re-injure yourself. Maybe it's a chance for your weak side to catch up.
Not sure if I said I use Daylio but just the free version.
Yes still reporting to psychiatrist and psychologist, poor things wouldn't be seeing any progress. Same with gp and her merry band of allied health. I'll keep trying... mostly... maybe things will turn around. It would be a big relief to fix a financial/legal/domestic/family can of worms. But back to dr.s next week as they think there's a new (mild) problem.
Keep seeing interesting birds on a new FB group Meta seemed to enrol me in. Nice shot of a drongo today with green wings.
Hope you're not sidelined from work while recovering, also it's not too onerous.
Lovely hearing from you.

3 times @Dimity 🤭 whoops, also glad it got through it said it couldn’t post so I also screen shot it lol, cbf writing it all again and was glad it let me screen shot it at least- did you get three notifications?. Lost another post today which is very annoying 🤪
I feel I missed a post as I remember you mentioned about a high potassium, how’s that going? Eating too many bananas? Lol or dehydrated?
mine was high after that flat week the other week, told the dr don’t worry likely just dehydrated. Was fine on the next check so definitely sure it was dehydration.
you might like ‘mood tracker’ it use to be called bipolar uk and it’s free. Depends on how many apps you want I guess lol.
Thankyou for the reframe on my ankle it’s a good one to remember, thankyou!
glad you still are connected with your team! You never know maybe they see small progress you can’t see? Merry band of allied health 🤣. Hope there has been some good tunes lol. Any allied health been helpful of late? How’s your exercises going?
I went to the physio today I actually quite like her lol. Accept for all the exercises I get given lol.
I hold onto hope that things will get better for you. I hear lots to chip away at but I have faith you and your team will do the best you all can, you deserve all the improvements you can get, big and small ☀️
is your new problem okay?
what’s on for your next couple of days?
In response to: Hello

Please excuse my bad memory @Chasingsunsets that "new" problem is just the potassium. The re-test is unlikely to be better as it was a bit hot and I was a bit dehydrated. But I should hear the verdict Monday. Yes I like my bananas lol, often have one with my oatmeal.
Thanks I'll take a look at that mood tracker. I've used Daylio for years and have thought about upgrading.
I haven't been consistent with exercises, probs the K+ thing. Tried jumping through hoops (metaphorically) to see a physiotherapist, thought I was fobbed off so saw an osteopath who gave me a moving bridge exercise (among others) I didn't understand. The ex physiologist promptly substituted another one that leaves me very sore. But apparently I've been approved for a new physiotherapist so I await enlightenment and healing or alternatively throwing my hands in the air and giving up.
I'm glad you like your physiotherapist, it's a good basis for trust.
Did you see the news items this week about "circadian depression"? Links certain patterns of depression with body clock issues and sleep cycles. Saw it on both ABC and Guardian so took a look at Brit J Psychiatry summary.
No plans for the weekend but hopes to get back on track with neglected chores and yes the exercise routines. And garden if it's not raining. What about you?
Btw pats to Indi.
