Back to Work

I finally feel like I am back in full swing even though I am still coughing a bit. My ribs have stopped hurting from coughing so hard, my voice is its normal pitch, my energy is coming back. Once in awhile I still have some drainage but mostly I am better, thank God!

What a long haul it has been. I had to cut everything but the main essentials. Even though I did jot blog stuff down, I just couldn't manage to get it written up properly. How encouraging to hear from so many friends worried about my welfare. Thanks to you all! I'm sorry I caused concern. I promised Sissie I would never do that again, and I am reiterating that here. Even if I am too sick to write, I will post that I am sick and will write more later so as not to worry anyone.

Fortunately, the semester is in just the right place that we have neither a start up crunch or a last week crunch, so I can take my time about putting my office to rights once again. I think the siege has ended. It reminds me of Martin Luther when he encountered the Black Plague and insisted on nursing the sick and dying day and night. Of course, that was serious. This was just uncomfortable.

Thank you all again for your prayers and concern. I promise to be better about keeping things on track. Meanwhile, I am still trying to find time to get in to see the oncologist even though I have had no more episodes that were concerning me before the flu thing hit.
