I should have only another week plus a few days of limited activites and diet restrictions, but I will probably ease very gradually back to normal activites and diet, considering my recent bacterial chest infection and yeast infection.<\/p>\n<p>I believe both infections are now past tense. Temperature is normal, no chills, and most importantly, I feel fine. In fact I am eating like a pig after a week with no appetite &#8211; everything from homemade potato leak soup to Rose&#8217;s chocolates (that&#8217;s an English chocolatier). <\/p>\n<p>I will be on the Nustatin anti-yeast medication for another seven days. Also, my fitness is awful. I went for 22 minute walks the last two days. When I finally get back to the gym, it&#8217;s going to be a chore getting my cardio back to a decent level. Tomorrow (Sunday) I&#8217;ll use the dumbbells in the basement for the first time since March 4th, and I&#8217;m sure the results won&#8217;t be pretty.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But I suppose, so what if it takes some time? It&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m in training for a 10K race or to play rugby again. <\/p>\n<p>Last note &#8211; hair is definitely coming back. Especially noticeable on my eyebrows, and on my head you can now just make out my hairline pattern and hair color. Don&#8217;t think it will show up in a picture, but I may post one tomorrow anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got out seven weeks ago.
