Quick Catch Up

Well it has been a long time since I have written but there is good reason for that.

Two days after I last posted I ended up in the hospital with port infection that quickly went systemic and but my life on the fence. Obviously I survived, but only after 2 weeks of IV antibiotics. After I had been home a week I broke out with shingles - my GP said it was the worse case he had seen in a very long time. Let me tell you - it was some of the worse pain I have ever had to endure. Even on a total of 80mg of oxycodone the pain was only at a tolerable level. Now the lesion are healed and most of the pain is gone, but it has left me with severe back pain. Actually, the pain in my back had been increasing for a while, so I really don't know if it is related.
