I’m still recovering from the flu – slowly. That, combined with the emotional devastation of the loss, has made me feel weak and stressed.

I’m definitely trying not to rush things. I lie down a couple of times a day, which is an improvement over being in bed most of the time. My son had to leave today and unfortunately didn’t accomplish too much while he was here, because he was sick, too. He came down with it a couple of days before I did – probably having caught it on the airplane coming here – and then gave it to me.

Whew.
