May Be Offline For a Bit

Just a brief note...I've been online rather sporadically the last week as I've been pretty ill. High fevers, lack of energy, fun with mucus, losing weight, coughing, losing my voice, the whole 9 yards. Today I went to the doctors (and spent a zillion dollars...I hate having a health insurance plan where you pay 100% up to the first $1,300 each year!) and came out with a tentative diagnosis of something viral, possibly something wih the lungs, too (have to wait for the X-rays to come back before we know for sure), but whatever it is it has entirely run me down and I am ordered to bed until Friday the 10th.

One of the biggest areas of concern right now is that my resting heart rate is way too high (122 beats per minute) and I'm having too many arrythmias and tachycardial runs for comfort. Thus, I'll be spending the next few days mostly resting in bed, trying to heal up before I return to work, and will probably be online very little.
