So far so good

Well, it's only been a few minutes since I got the shot as you can see in the picture, but I can't feel anything different yet. I'll keep updating this post tonight and tomorrow in a timeline fashion.

Got there just in time to get the shot. Yukari came with.
They didn't mind the pictures.
It's a neighborhood thing.
OK let's get a Pizza!

I have been curled up in a fever position feeling good about my electric blanket but when I do get up and come downstairs it's not like I'm shivering and howling. It's a slight fever that seems manageable. I hope it drifts away in the daytime when I'm active.

Been in and out of bed this lazy slightly feverish morning just cause I got no other commitments. Meanwhile I'm peaking on the net and exchanging mails about how to get statistical software going. First of all I gotta figure out what statistics I need. D'uhh...

---By the way----
This is not one of those deals where if the treatment doesn't work things get grave all of the sudden. It's more like a high enough number of people with the virus have problems way way down the road so it's better to try this interferon while you are still young. The interferon also works better when you are young. No worries.

It ended up being an in-bed-all-dayer but I wasn't suffering or anything, it just seemed like the bed was a better option than tinkering with the computer. Yukari came home and we had dinner at the chinese place. Now we go to the sento. I figure that will make the medicine circulate more. I did get a little emotional about one of my students speeches but those are the best cries in life. Albeit pushed out a bit from the fever,
a cry for beauty and a cry for hope. I'll show you the speech someday. Yukari says I look a little bug-eyed, but I don't feel any more spacey than usual. Now off to the bath. I feel a runny nose coming on but it's a good runny nose!

Next post will be a new one since I think I'm over the first stage.

Openness to the tender side of life. Not a bad side effect, I think
