Journal of today’s activities:

When I woke this morning I felt like running 20 miles. My wife insisted that I must rest. She advised that although I felt as though I had made a 100 percent recovery, I needed more rest and medication to kill the bacteria in my blood stream. Other than getting my haircut and visiting with my friend Lee, I stayed home. In the early afternoon I became drowsy, likely from the medication. I slept for four hours. I’m very fortunate to have Carole’s medical expertise and kindness as I recover. Later this week we’re scheduled to travel to Southern California and I intend to be fully recovered.
