Last night my wife came downstairs and found me curled-up in a fetal position on our dining room floor. She calmly said, Please tell me why you’re curled-up up on the floor”. I said “help me and I cant get up”. She picked me up and said “your hot and sweaty”. For whatever reasons I proudly replied “I think the fever is breaking”. There is a very mean spirited virus out there. My mother in-law and I both got really sick. But as I think back on this episode I can only marvel at the ingenuity of the attacker. That virus probably disguised itself to create the critical mass for an attack. Our own immune system that constantly looks for viral and bacterial invaders might have been initially fooled but quickly identified the characteristics of the invader and launched a very effective counter attack. Considering how I felt it was a quite a battle. The complexity of our bodies should amaze us. We are a living organism, made from celestial dust that includes a highly developed immune system. What is more stunning is that our immune systems don’t attack other foreign life forms like human sperm or fetuses. You’re probably asking why was I down stairs on the floor curled up in a fetal position. My wife always uses her considerable skills and talents to help other people. I crawled out of bed and went down stairs to close the living room and dining room drapes. She’s been busy taking care of her ninety-year-old mother and me. I thought closing the drapes was the least I could do. I closed all but two, and then I curled up on the floor. As usual Cayan arrived to help me.
