I’m starting to feel better.

I had to spend most of the evening at the hospital making sure I could get the green light for the start.  I’ve also had to eat a bit more as my body needs the calories to recover from the energy.

My body is in protection mode, so most of my energy goes into healing.

It will probably take five days to start to come around again.
