Well, where to begin...

For those who aren't on Twitter, on January 27th there was a very violent fire in front of my house that destroyed approximately a quarter of the block. (Maybe a little less, but the area was huge, and it also damaged some houses.)

To make a long story short, I'm okay, but I inhaled a lot of smoke that week, even with the windows sealed.

I've been having some health problems, but nothing serious, although I have a swollen lymph node that's been there for five weeks now.

Today I had my first serious doctor's appointment since the incident, and the doctor ordered very comprehensive blood tests. (Literally, the guy who took my payment at the register raised his eyebrows in surprise...) as well as an ultrasound.

The doctor says my prognosis is good after I explained my entire health situation in detail over the past month (which I wrote down in a notebook to keep track of). But the main problem seems to be the stress of the whole situation.

I'm still having trouble sleeping and nightmares about fires, however, I feel fine and I'm still exercising without any major problems.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update because I forgot to let some of you know, and honestly, talking about it makes me a little uncomfortable. (I don't think I'm processing it very well.)

I'll keep working hard and moving forward.
Have a good weekend, fighters.
