He was tired the first few days, but by the end was up to speed again. The hardest part was the dry mouth I think. It was WAAYY below zero the entire 2 weeks and breathing in the cold air hurt his throat. I'm just in awe that he has been able to return to work. God is good. It is hard to understand why he has done so well when we have friends not doing well. We are happy of course, but there's almost a guilty feeling when we meet our fellow fighters. Does that make sense?
