From David: Just in case anyone is doubting this, and I am more surprised at this as anyone, here is a picture of me. This is in the unit's hallway, still in the isolation area. I do my 2500 feet of power walking in here, up and back, up and back. Today I started doing it with handweights, tomorrow I might try juggling if I can find appropriate things to juggle, no knives or chainsaws please. Sorry about the picture quality. Note that I have a healthy beard growth. This is during the time of day that I do not need to be hooked up to my IV pumps, so I try to get out and party.

Mm, mmmm, good! (remember the soup commercial?).

David figures he will be off "real food" for a while, so he eats his hospital meal. If you can't tell, it is supposed to be a pizza. It actually was more of a toasted cheese saltine. Dave said it was not edible and then ate three of them. Then he found out he could eat real food until his cell counts went down.
