But feeling rather better now ,I've caught up. I've been sitting in front of the TV with a snarled tangle of threads, pulling strands out and stitching simple patterns. Liking the results of rubbing (frottage) the stitching with a jumbo crayon, I've become addicted to trying different thicknesses of thread and stitches. Because of course you obtain an impression of the back as well as the front of the stitching
Cross Stitch
Chain Stitch
This is my favourite pair of stitchings/rubbings so far and it's got me thinking about combining the 2, building multiple layers

There's nothing like a bit of therapeutic stitching. Like the frottage and glad you're on the mend.
Really enjoyed seeing your experiments--love the stitching.
