The pneumonia diagnosis was on last Wednesday afternoon and that’s when the antibiotics started. While I’m feeling better, I’d put me at 50% at best. I’ve two more days of antibiotics and then go back to the doctor for a checkup. Hopefully we can do that on Thursday or Friday. I’ll be right ready to get off the antibiotic: Levofloxacin. A side effect is a nasty taste in my mouth, kind of like burnt ashes. While I’m sure I’ll feel much better this time next week, I’d be pleased if it happened sooner!

We are back on our normal schedule at the Center after the other senior missionaries took parts or all of our shifts when I was feeling pretty punk. No need to infect anyone else! That normal schedule included the Senior Missionary Family Home Evening this evening. This is the transfer where we have Monday evenings available to attend FHE. Tonight’s presentation was just delightful, made by Elder and Sister Christensen who are on their fifth mission, including a three-year term as a Mission President in Canada, eighteen months in Athens, Greece, and a two-year term as the Director of the Washington D.C. Visitors’ Center. He was a Seminary and Institute teacher and later director of the Institute program at Utah State University. It was a delightful evening.

Coming up tomorrow is the Investiture of President John S. Tanner as the President of Brigham Young University – Hawaii. President Eyring will be conducting that event with several other General Authorities participating. I’ll bring my computer into the Center and play the live video feed in our big theater. We’ll be on duty, but should be able to catch parts of the Inauguration / Devotional.

Life is improving … slowly but surely! Ta ta for now!
