Where Have I Been?

You might have wondered where I have been for the past week or so, so let me fill you in on some developments in my life over the past seven days.

Early last Sunday morning, I had very bad stomach indigestion, so bad that I had to be taken to the hospital. I had never had such pain before, and believe me, I hope to never feel such pain again.

Anyway, the pain was so great that I passed out in the waiting room. To cut to the chase, I had numerous tests performed on me last Sunday, and it all led to one conclusion: that my gall bladder had to be removed.

I guess I was due--in my first 50 years I never had an operation of any kind, and was only in a hospital a few times--never for myself directly--including when my two kids were born.

Without going into all the gory details, I had the operation--on my birthday yet, Monday, April 28--and there was a minor complication, but literally a week later, I feel pretty good.

A number of restrictions had been placed on me, which I am following to the letter. I hope to be back driving and back at work later this week.

Anyway, again, I feel pretty good now, so I am back, hopefully for good.

Thanks for your patience.
