GOOOOOAAAALLL!!!

Ellen took to air hockey right away. She wasn't very good, though. One of my first nights out, post-pneumonia, where I felt well enough to sit up and eat at a restaurant.

All grown up

Ellen's first day of kindergarten. We thought she'd object to the uniform. They don't allow her to wear big poofy dresses in pink and purple. But she liked the new clothes a lot. That turned out to be the least of our worries.

My plan is not to be dizzy. What's yours?

Another day in the hospital. Lots of tests, including an EEG. They finally decided I was free to go home, and I should take it easy and try to get my sodium level up.

And just when I thought I was getting better, I started having blackouts. Off to the emergency room to be admitted for a night of observation and tests!

August was a bad month for me. I contracted pneumonia, and it knocked me out for a month. I spent two weeks in bed staring at the ceiling. Enjoy the view.
