    To just get a couple of messages from people that you love and people that love you, helps me to get this fight off the ground again.

    Tired, muted and neither here nor there - might be a good way to describe the way I feel at the beginning of this new week. Doesn't everything take so much time? Or perhaps it's us, when we're sick and forget that hospitals are dealing with SO many others who are all waiting for results.
