I've had a bit more energy in the last few days, but every activity I do is still overshadowed by intense fatigue. The background nausea is more under control with a different medicine, so I can eat a bit more and stop the slow loss of weight. I'm taking about 46 pills a day of 16 different medications, with five more in reserve if various symptoms arise. It's almost a part-time job managing all this, especially since the doctors frequently tinker with the exact doses as the latest blood counts and blood chemistry numbers come in.
On a more positive note, Denise, Colonel, and I took a five block walk after the Saturday doctor said I could go outside as long as I wore the heavy duty N95 face mask and as long as I avoided crowds and groups of people I didn't know. Tiring, but it was great to get outside again and enjoy our springlike warm up.

Hi Andy,
Pleased to report that on Scott lynch and Bruce March suggestion, we took up a collection for you at Canoecopia. 1300 collected from vendors, 1000 from rutabaga, and another 1000 from confluence. Looking forward to sending a check up.
Thinking of you,
Jeff and Rutabaga
