Taking it Easy in HK

Chungking Mansions - Hong Kong, China

States of health:

• Jason - Pretty unhappy. Coughing and having breathing troubles. Not sleeping well. New antibiotics may or may not be effective.
• Mike - Less unhappy than before. Some pain all the time and still much pain while eating. All other functions normal. Really missing food.

My doctor says that I can expect to be healed in "1 to 2 weeks". There is no ETA for Jason's recovery. Our HK visas are good for 90 days, so we have lots of time to chill out and get better. I am going to try to accomplish some administrative tasks (mailing stuff, fixing stuff) and maybe take in a few sights. I reckon Jason is going to do a lot of laying around in hotels reading books and watching pirate DVDs. The latter are not in short supply in this part of the world.

Most importantly - our conditions are stable and there is no need to worry. With luck, current illnesses will prove to be nothing more than a temporary pause in the OC. There is also some talk about "slowing down" so we do not "run ourselves into the ground". That sounds "smart" to me.
