What's Happening? I know everyone is wondering what black hole I fell into. It's the really black one two blocks down and to the right. I've been in and out of the hospital twice since January with a lung inflammation that had the doctors stumped. On my first visit they were sure I had congestive heart failure, but on the second the heart symptoms were less impressive than the lung problems. My lung biopsies were sent to the Mayo Clinic which finally came down with a diagnosis about 2 weeks ago, but it's for an obscure disease (berylliosis) that the docs really don't know how to treat. I'm on steroids (no, not THOSE steroids) and 24-hour nasal cannula oxygen right now. There is some possibility that the steroids will help me get a lot better over time so that I can at least kick the O2, but then again, it's also possible that I'll just hold my own or get worse. Meanwhile I've obviously let the blog lapse and I will never be able to answer all the email that's piled up. I've started back posting some recipes in A Foodish Consistency, though, and am thinking seriously about getting back to the discussion of Passionate Marriage. It might just happen. Don't count on me -- but don't count me out, either. 10:25:44 AM    comments [] trackback []
