What a glorious day. The Italians made it through to the knockout rounds of the European soccer tournament by beating France 2-0 (and all thanks to the Dutch, who beat Romania to uphold their end of the deal). Meanwhile, Coldplay released its new album today, and I'm anxious to go pick it up.
And, oh yeah -- I'm home.
All the tubes, wires and IVs are out of my body. There's just a couple bandages remaining, and those I can take off in a day or two. Now, I really need to wash my hair and get all the tape and bandage residue off both my arms -- I'll get to that later this evening. For the moment, I'm relaxing in relative peace and quiet. It's a bit of a system shock, to be honest, after 13 days of the unending hustle and bustle of the hospital.
It's great to be home. I'll write more tomorrow when I'm more settled. Until then, Viva La Vida, Forza Azzurri, and all that good stuff.
With much love,
Dino

Welcome home! I'm amazed at the speed of your recovery. Glad the Azzurri got their act together today to commemorate the occasion.
Enjoy sleeping the good kuato-free sleep in your own bed tonight, my friend. Hope to see you soon.
Teh. Had to rely upon an own goal by Henry and a gift from the dutch when it didn't matter. Might as well have been a flop and a penalty, their specialty.
Now that Kuato is out of the way, congrats on, well, surviving, winning, whatever you want to call it. You have some crappy treatment ahead, but it's not like to what you got past. Enjoy it all, hoist the cup, even if it is a coldplay album and a chalupa.
Welcome home, Dino. I guess I'll root for the Azzuri (urk!) for your sake :-)
Dino:
Welcome home my friend. We will continue the good thoughts. On the negative side, however, Spain is going to defeat Italy. Ciao!

WELCOME HOME! Congrats on getting past the tough stuff here - a week, that is miraculous! Way to go, Dino - I am so proud of you for being so tough and kicking kuato's messed up baby-lookin' booty!! YEAH!!! More to come we all realize, but one huge, major, painful battle WON BY THE BIG D!!! YEAH!!! Relax and enjoy!!! I'm so happy for you to be back at home - fabulous news, it is a GOOD DAY!
Glad to hear that you're back in the comforts of your own home!
Hope you get some much needed and restful sleep in your own bed without the nuisance of Kuato!
Coldplay's a good choice. It's like musical Ambien.
Italy? Do they even play soccer anymore?
