the corner is turned

When Robert first started turning the corner, it meant that he'd hit a plateau and things were not getting worse. But now, things are actually improving. His bumps are still tender and sensitive but the inflamation is way down, he's not in nearly as much pain, his mind is coming back, and he's sleeping less. (Thank goodness for the antivirals, which are hastening the process, and antipain meds, which are taking the edge off some of the symptoms.)

I think the rest of the weekend will be devoted to rest and small amounts of activity, perhaps short walks. Big sighs of relief all 'round.

We are both grateful for all the messages of support and caring we've received. Thank you.
