The past week has had its ups and downs. I receive a variety of antibiotics every day to fight and prevent infection. I've had a cold for some time now, but that is not much of a problem at the moment. My biggest issue currently is probably some pain in my legs due to the fact that I have been off of the steroids since being admitted. That kind of pain can linger for about a month, but I have plenty of pain medication to help with that.

I will be in the hospital about another two weeks, after which (assuming all goes well) I will return home for a brief recovery period. So, for those in the neighborhood, feel free to continue to stop by. I may have a homemade trinket from the arts and crafts center that you can take home and cherish.
