Like feeding candy to my brain.

-
So MJNL and I went out tonight to watch Brain Candy Live! I had a good time. It was an entertaining show even though I didn't really learn any new science. However, a lot of these experiments (and jokes) that they performed would have definitely wowed a younger and naiver me.

If it had not been for the discount from the daycare that we used I would not have known that they were coming to town and I would not have gone. A pretty serendipitous event indeed.

Too bad I was too late to get VIP tickets. It would've been good to meet both of them in person.

There was this outbreak..

So I have a low grade fever. I have been taking acetaminophen since I got home to deal with the pain so there was a good chance that I have had an actual fever for a few days now. I have noticed huge temperature swings with me feeling cold for an hour, then hot for an hour, etc. This while I was still popping pills. I did have a normal temperature when I got my dressings replaced a couple of days ago so maybe this is a relatively new phenomenon, but I was pretty sure I started feeling temperature swings before then. The chance that I picked something up from the hospital is actually kind of high.

I ended up getting my own room to recover which was nice, and helped with my rest. However, due to my nausea issues, I could not keep my mask on for long periods of time and I did spend a good chunk of time un...

Staples out! (Again!)

I got my staples removed today. No more appointments until the followup next month. As such, once these bandages come off, I'm pretty much done, but will need to take it easy for the next month and a half so as not to damage myself. It should not be too hard, as long as I do not get wet, run, jump, lift, dance, get buried, stomped, etc. Other than that, I do feel better than I did last time. I need to stay active to continue improving. Mobility leads to mobility! Or was that motility? Either is good actually. I also started working today. Well, technically I started doing some work yesterday to catch up, but it does feel good to be productive..

COVID-19

-
It finally happened. I caught COVID-19. It was only a matter of time really. We had started going back to our regular routine so there were so many possible infection events, especially for the kids. In fact, that is how I got sick. But then again, even before the pandemic, this was still the case. But at least with the boosted vaccinations, and drugs, my symptoms have been akin to a bad flu. I have had worse flues, so I feel as if vaccines are only partially effective for me. In any case, the family will be staying home for a while and life is put on pause again. At least I can work from home, if I don't get bothered by the kids that much..
