1 and 40

From the small...

Good news! Dad's doctors have finally isolated the sole bacteria that is responsible for his infection. They are currently administering 1 antibiotic to kill this bacteria. This is down from 4 antibiotics they had him on last week, and that number was reduced from 12! Still no target date for coming home, but he's getting better. Feel free to applaud noisily.

More good news! I've officially lost 40 pounds according to this morning's weigh-in. That's equivalent to the rubberband ball pictured below.

... to the medium...

No applause is necessary for me.

Wild, boisterous, WWE-type applause for your father. Polite, but heartfelt PGA-type applause for you.

1. Awesome on all accounts.

2. Where the hell did you get a rubber-band ball that big? Did you make it? How big can a rubber band be?

Following Up:

1. Thank you! Thank you! I'd like to thank the medical profession, the Academy, and all of you wonderful people out there. Thanks so much!

2. No, I didn't make the rubberband ball. I did a google image search on "40 pounds" and that was the funnies thing that came up. You don't want to know what else came up during that search...
