Our dear patient

Our dear patient seems to be improving by leaps and bounds. This comes as a tremendous relief to both of us. I felt fine about leaving him alone for the evening last night. (A few days ago, I probably wouldn't have gone out for the evening alone.)

He still has a rash, ugly and alarming by most standards unless you'd seen it at its worse. Now it looks blessedly healed. And he's still on pain pills but can actually see a path to dropping them soon. I don't think he'll be going to work for a day or so more. Still, he's getting his old energy back and is starting to look more and more like himself.

Phew phew phew.
