Flown the coop...

Day +14 and I'm now home again. What a great feeling. Progress has been very strong and steady and the result of a lot of well-directed prayers, along with good care at the hospital and heaps of support from the likes of yourselves. I am very grateful on every level.

They have warned me not to get too confident too quick in terms of what my body can handle initially. They said to listen to my body (and don't argue!). Although my immune system is improving each day, it is still effectively quite immature and not able to handle all the usual stuff our bodies bat off daily, so I'll need to be avoiding various situations and taking precautions with others. That is fine, I'm sure I'll cope just fine. I have no intention of stuffing things up having got this far.

I've copped a bit of stick from some quarters on account of having been a bit slack with the 'funnies' at the end of the blog. Others, however, have probably been feeling relieved! So, in order to both satisfy AND annoy - I've slotted in something below. Sorry!

Cheers
Bruce
