There's No Place Like Home

Just a quick note, since I have some other things to do today. I'm now at home, feeling pretty healthy. It's great to be here.

Some future blog post topics: the excellent medical care I received, the things that can wrong over the next few months (a short list), and the precautions I need to take to minimize the risk that things do go wrong (a long list).

Interesting fact brought to my attention by the man who delivered my medications today -- today is St. Joseph's Day. (St. Joseph is the patron saint of people named Joseph.)

    Home, St. Joe's day, supermoon, vernal equinox, AND the Illini won, all in a two-day span - if that's not cosmic alignment, I don't know what is.

    Joe so good for you to be home at last. Jan and Paul you must be very excited to have him home after such a long time. Joe know you have lots to do but please keep us all posted on your progress.

    PS We ran in a half marathon today and you were my inspiration throughout my training and race. If Joe can do that then I must be able to do this. It does put challenges in the proper perspective. You've been awesome.

    OK - so the Illini were eliminated, but they did lose to the top seed, and not a big surprise at that. They represent promise wasted, whereas you seem to be going in the opposite direction. JNR

    Joe, We are glad you're home again. I saw those very same crocuses and my spirits took a big leap for the sure sign of spring. I look forward to seeing you again in person - in a few weeks' time or whenever your doctors decide it's okay. I will miss reading your blog each morning - it was a great day starter. Janelle, Jim, and Andy

    Just for the record, Joseph is the patron saint of workers. Still fits the bill for you in any case.
