Wow - I’m sorry for you and glad for you all at the same time. Having a supportive work environment is actually going to speed your healing…
Thanks Mrs. Chili,
I’m actually fine now, just missing work to take care of my wife (and doing everything around the house and taking kids to piano and dance and school etc . . .) now. We were lucky we didn’t both get it at the same time. Just a rough patch.
I am thankful to work where I do and with the people that I work with. Missing work (and making up work) is stressful enough.
At any rate, thanks for the visit–and the thoughts.

Hey Wondra-
I appreciate the update even though I had to get it digitally rather than in person. You can thank Nelly for the drug resistant antibiotics when you return to work! I hope that Lisa recovers and that you potentially return to work…. See you soon.
B,
Potentially? Do you know something I don’t? Heh. (nervous laughter)
Anyway–yeah, I’m going to kick Nelly’s ass.
