I'm feeling better today, in a way -- I've gotten more sleep, and my condition isn't quite so wretched -- but I still plan to see the doctor on Monday, if I am not totally healed by then. Otherwise, I fear I'll just get sick again. But in the meantime, I'm not doing too bad, and I'm enjoying my time with old friends today. It's just like we were never apart -- even though their boys are now taller than all of us! :-D Nathan is really enjoying having them here, as these are boys he grew up with over in Pakistan, and they were like the best kind of brothers.
