There's a game store in Nanuet NY, Hobbytown. Every Thursday they have a game night at the store, starting at 7:30PM or so and going until late in the evening. I've known about the game night for a few weeks, but I've been immersed in my health problems and haven't been able to go.

Something nice happened to me today: mage_imbroglio called, to ask for some computer advice.

Medical issues have dominated my life the past week, and will probably continue to do so for at least the next week. Lately I've been doing little but sitting at home and watching TV.

That one call was a ray of light in an otherwise gloomy time. Thanks, mage_imbroglio!

I had just started walking to lunch today (yay, exercise!) when I started coughing. This was no minor cough. It was a five-minute coughing fit with lots of disgusting side symptoms.

I inched my way back to my car and drove to get lunch. At this moment my chest feels sore, but I'm not sure if it's due to all the coughing or something else.

Where's the blessing? Simple: I've got a three-day weekend with absolutely nothing scheduled. If I had to get sick, this is the weekend to do it. I've got plenty of soup and tea at home. I can focus on resting and getting well.

There are many people who don't have this luxury. For what I have, I give much thanks. 

And I haven't forgotten the obligation of those who have: to share something with those who haven't. But not this weekend.

I saw Isaac last night. Right now, for him to be awake or aware is to be in pain, so he spends a lot of time asleep or mentally drifting.

I'm one of Isaac's friends, but I am not his primary care-giver; his wife Phaedra is. If you'd like up-to-date information on Isaac's condition and requests for additional healing work, I suggest looking at the Facebook page they've put up:

Again, if you live within convenient traveling distance from Valley Cottage NY, there is an important and valuable contribution you can make that even supersedes the magical workings. Please contact Phae for more information.

I just got back from visiting Isaac in the hospital. Here are the facts:
