Two Steps Back

So yesterday I thought I had taken a step forward and was on the road to a full and speedy recovery. Then, around 2 a.m., I wake up sweaty and feverish. 98.6 was out the window and my temperature gauge was reading 101. Damn. So I start the Amoxicillin like I knew I should have in the first place, take a couple of Advil and end up watching TV until dawn. No team training ride for me today, although I was able to meet the team for lunch. Instead, I spent most of the afternoon updating the LCCS rankings. I was almost finished when The Wife called from San Diego. Her sister who lives in Dallas, the one with whom we stayed after Katrina, was in a major auto accident. Her husband was airlifted to a different hospital and we don't know his condition yet. The Sister-in-Law suffered, as far as I can gather from third-hand reports, a broken leg, broken shoulder(?), concusson, and I think another broken bone. The Wife, who was planning to return tomorrow, is booking a flight.
