A Whole New World...

A Whole New World…

Okay, pardon the cheesy Disney reference, but I ventured out into the real world today.

After a good night that included some uncomfortable coughing – see, the coughing is good, but the sore ribs aren't -, I slept well. I have a new appreciation for pillows, that’s for sure. And no detectable fevers!

I visited Patrick Henry today for a brief period of time as a "test" run. I wanted to see how I would respond to increased activity and a possible return to work. It was good! Although fatigue set in rather quickly, the emotional boost from a return to semi-normalcy was awesome.

It was great to see the kids and my wonderful colleagues. In the grand scheme of the universe, my battle with pneumonia has been short. But the time away from the kids, a normal routine and feeling better has seemed like forever.

Much love and appreciation for y’all.

I hope to be back to my regular routine soon although at 20 m.p.h. and not my usual 120 m.p.h.
