Back from the doctor.

[randomness]

(Specifically for apintrix and cmat, who very kindly asked to be kept up to date. And others, who didn't specifically ask, but did comment. I've been babbling about my various minor illnesses for long enough that I'm sure I've become tedious. Thank you all for paying attention.)

Diagnosis. I have:

• 
  Fifth disease, a viral infection "commonest amongst 4 - 10 yr olds."
  


• 
  Conjunctivitis, possibly viral, possibly bacterial

The irony of my having contracted (commonly) childhood diseases is not lost on me. Nothing serious, and stuff you'd see in a third-grader. (Insert obvious remarks about maturity here.) Although as resonance42 gently suggested, I should not have toughed it out for nearly a month before going to have it looked at.

Anyway, must go as I'm late for a dinner; thanks again for listening!

I wondered, too, but I haven't seen Leon since ... oh, God, have I seen you since my surgery, Leon? I can't remember. Definitely not in the past couple of weeks, though. Maybe it's going around the edges of Suspects? Not that I've seen too many Suspects lately, either ...

oh, God, have I seen you since my surgery, Leon?

The last time I saw you, you were in still mostly confined to bed with your leg up, and I brought you sesame balls. It was months and months ago, because the air conditioning was on in your room. :)

At least, that's the last time I remember seeing you. Has it really been that long?

I'm guessing I didn't get it directly from you. :) However, there are lots of asymptomatic carriers of this thing, so circulating around the edges of Suspects is possible. It's also possible I got it on one of the campuses I spend time at.

In any case, hope you're feeling better soon!

I am definitely feeling better. You?

And we should fix the hanging out thing. When?
