I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I checked into the hospital. Although I'm mostly better, the lag time to rebuild my strength just seems to get longer and longer. When I was there I averaged under 1,000 steps per day, mostly because I had to drag an IV stand around with me which is a huge pain in the ass. I tried to make it up with between 3,000-7,000 steps over the succeeding days and weekend at home, and while I got a lot done, I'm just fucking exhausted.

More than anything I need like a month off, but that's not going to happen so it's back to the grind, falling asleep occasionally at my desk when fatigue overwhelms me, and just trying to get back to where I was a year ago. I may never be 100% at that level again, but I'll keep trying on a modified scale.
