26 Feb: convalescing
Well, I am not well enough to update everything day. I will get to it, however.
While I am here in my valetudinarium as a valetidinarius (a sick man in my sick room) you might be interested to know that valetudo can mean either a good state of health or a bad state of health. You have to figure out how it is being used from the context.
Did you know, of course you know, that Vale! or Valete! means "Goodbye!" in the sense that you wish the person or people in question good health. Our mighty and thorough (though not complete) Lewis & Short Dictionary we read that valeo means "to be strong, stout, or vigorous, to have strength" in the sense of health and "To be strong in or for something, to have the power or strength, be in condition to do something, etc.". So, valete for now.
