Lord knows, I don’t need any. With the combination of the innoculations I have gotten for my trip, and the corticosteroids in my knee, my body is a soup of chemicals that probably glows in the dark.

I’ve had a low grade fever since the cortisone injection, and my heart is racing. I’m told this is a potential side effect of the injection, and all I can say is I hope to hell it goes away. I’m damned if I’ll let illness prevent me from taking the trip of a lifetime.
