Happy holidays, everybody! I hope that your celebrations are joyful and have just the right level of debauchery. You have certainly brought me much happiness during the last tumultuous month.
The quick health update: My body is getting better slowly. Yesterday I had no numbness or muscle weakness and I went on my first serious walk up to Capitol Hill and back. It’s the first time I’ve walked more than a couple of blocks since this whole thing started and it felt damn good. My energy is returning, too – I’ve made it out to social events a couple of times this week. It’s been so much fun to see you all in festive spirits.
My only remaining quirk is that the automatic reflexes in my legs are dead as doornails. You know how the doc will sometimes tap your knee to make your leg kick? Mine doesn’t do anything. It just sits there like my cats sit on my laptop when they believe I am remiss in my feeding duties. The lack of automatic leg reflexes doesn’t get in the way of moving around and they will probably come back eventually. In the meantime it’s a cool party trick.
Once again, thanks to everybody who has given me love, support, hugs, good vibes, etc.
