More of the same

This past week, I've been doing more of the same schedule.  Every day or so I'm back at the hospital getting fluids and a checkup. After a few hours there, I come back to the apartment, and usually dad and I will go for a walk around Richmond or on the canal. That's good, since I'm getting to spend a lot of time with him that wouldn't otherwise be possible.  We've seen a lot of Richmond, including Monument Avenue, Hollywood Cemetery, Bell Island,  and Downtown.

Health wise, I'm doing ok. Just playing by the numbers, I'm moving along nicely. The only exception is my blood pressure, which has been pretty low. This has made it a little sketchy for me to stand up suddenly, I seem to have a tendency to pass out. Last week, I stood up to take a plate to the kitchen and 'whack!', I was on the floor before I knew what hit me. Just a busted lip, and a bruised hand - so no major injuries, if you exclude pride.

The family had some kind of cold this week, so I haven't had visitors, but I'm looking forward to having them out, or for me to get home. As nice as the apartment in Richmond is, it's still not home. I don't think I'm a city guy, at heart.
