Not too long after N8 got to Germany, he went out with a friend during the afternoon to Ramstein. The afternoons there in Germany at this time of the year are pretty nice and perfect for wearing shorts and a t-shirt. However, the nights are freezing cold and more like hoody-wearing weather. N8 was planning to be home before dark, but him and his friend ended up taking a crash course on riding the train there and ended up getting home four hours late . . . . at 1 a.m . . . . dressed in only shorts and a t-shirt.
The next day, N8 developed a nice little cough. Hoping that it was nothing, and not wanting to take any sick days, N8 kept plugging along for a whole week before going to the doctors. "You have bronchitis, and possibly walking pneumonia," said the nice doctor when he finally was seen, and ended up treating him with this little Smörgåsbord of fun little medications he is currently taking. He is on the mend now and feels (and sounds) much better.
I hope you're feeling better! Maybe you could wear your bathrobe with the plastic compass attached in memory of Patrick. I suppose the Navy frowns on that.
