I spoke to my doc yesterday who said my counts (white blood cells) are down, which is a good thing and I should anticipate being a guest of this hospital for another two weeks. Wow! I got to tell you about my lovely view of the other wing of the hospital from my room. It really makes the day go by:). There's nothing better than seeing some great masonry.
So I started Spanish yesterday and today I get to begin speaking to my insurance company about short term disability and making sure this whole shindig is covered. Not in Spanish of course.
I definitey miss the outdoors. I can't believe how I would take going for a run for granted. I can't wait to get out of here and just smell the outside air. I never thought I'd be in a position where the littlest things like air were items that I would most miss. This is eye opening.
Soon enough.
Hey Zach - or should I say "Hola, Zach". :)
ReplyDeleteComo esta? Dos semanas (weeks) will pass in no time with any luck at all. When you do start running again, let me know and I'll let you kick my la mantequilla (which means "butter", but you know what I mean).
I'll leave you with this very helpful Spanish travel phrase - "Donde reporto el equipaje perdido?" which everyone knows means "Where do I report lost luggage?"
Buenas noches, mi amigo, and we will hopefully see you on el jueves (Thursday).

Bonjour mon ami! Comment-allez vous? Je desirez un pan au chocolate et un coca cola. I took six years of French in school and I can only remember how to say hello and order. Guess that's the important stuff. I just need to learn the word for beer and bathroom and then I'll really be set! :) Good luck with the Spanish. Seems that is a more practical language to learn.
ReplyDeleteGreat news on your cell counts.
I think about you and Michele often. Thanks for keeping us posted and sharing your experiences.
