    It's been a rough week. My wife has had symptoms for months that went undiagnosed, and therefore untreated, by her PCP. Last week they got worse and the timing made the docs suspect a disease that took another week to rule out, by which time it was a full emergency that had us in the ER and admitted to the hospital. Grateful that she is finally getting the right care and it's probably something we can treat and not permanent damage, which it might have been if it had gone on longer.

    She's alert and talking normally and drinking fluids today. That's a big improvement and tells you how sick she was.

    I think I'm finally coming down off the adrenaline. I got a chance to take a little walk today and the moment I stepped under the trees I felt my body start to regulate again. Don't care what anyone says, I clearly had arboreal ancestors. Sunlight filtered through a green canopy and living soil beneath my feet is the best medicine.

    Dead leaves cover the ground between sword ferns. A variety of trees reach upward to filter the light falling from above.
