Update: Our dear patient

Robert continues to improve. He's still on pain meds, though he's tapering off them. He says that in a few days, he'll be able to sleep on his right side. And today he tried driving. He reported that he was not at his best, but by driving on back roads on a Sunday afternoon, he did fine. He'll work from home for at least part of the day tomorrow and decide whether to go into the office in the afternoon or just stay home all day.

This is all good news. I realize that none of what he had (the book-end colds or the shingles) was life-threatening, but it is awfully good to watch him come back into himself. And I'm sure it's a relief for him too.
