Oh my, I’ve been knocked out this time. I am so tired. The last five days I have had no energy. I’ve barely managed to get dressed and then sort of sit up to eat. Bizarrely, it is even exhausting to lay down. I think my body is tired of being tired. I am more impatient now than I think I have ever been.

James’ post: The last two days have been a bit of a blur for Stine. Yesterday we had a nice cake (thanks Mom and Deena!) and Benjamin cooked dinner. He is also cooking for us tonight- maybe a chef in the making! Today, Stine was full cyborg. She had a flashing implant on her arm, plus a hose coming out (her PICC line).

I have a bad tendency to focus on the potential bad things…
For those of you that have been worried; I am doing alright. I have not posted an update for several days and I apologize for that. My energy level is very low and I’m frankly in a state where one day flows imperceptibly over to the next. This has of course a lot to do with my fatigue and condition, but it certainly does not help that the world is on pause. I cannot for the best of me remember…
