Janary 29, 2015. I'm in hospital again, this time shellshocked. Goodbye Odyssey. This latest lung infection is proving very stubborn to move. It can't be eradicated but it can be controlled with antibiotics. Together with my emphysema it has floored me... can't stand in one spot without becoming...
