Coming Back–But Slowly

It’s been March since it took a leave to recover from brain surgery and, for a variety of reasons, my comeback has taken a lot longer than I expected. I had surgery for succesful removal of a brain tumor, a setback due to a MRSA infection, and now have started daily radiation treatments. But the real difficulty in getting back to work has been a vision problem that makes reading and writing difficult; I hope to deal with that shortly.

Facing difficulty in reading the volume of material needed to keep up with events in the industry makes it even harder to write. With luck, this problem will soon be behind me. That will help me to get back in the swing of work in the next week or so.

Meanwhile, I want to thank the many among you who have extended their good wishes. You can keep up with regular posts on my progress on Facebook.

  2. Steve, I know you don’t hear from many of us every day, but I assure that I, and many others like me, think of your every day and our well wishes are with you.

    Looking forward to to you returning to your irascible self very, very soon.
