In hospital
I have been dangerously ill since last Wednesday and could remain in the hospital for most of this week. I will be "cured" when all is said and done, but I will be living with lifelong side effects as a result of the treatment. I am concerned about my emotional/mental well being -- and hence, my will to remain sober. There is an unconventional therapy I intend to pursue aggressively. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
P.S. Illness has nothing to do with drinking.

At home recovering from blood poisoning and surgery. Feeling better, but still have a ways to go. Probably be New Year's before I am fully recovered. Brain is foggy right now. The only silver lining--beyond the obvious one of surviving--is that I have perhaps finally kicked my coffee habit.
I am grateful for the tremendous support I received from friends, family, and hospital staff.
