No, friends, I did not expire on the operating table. I have literally been flat on my back for almost two weeks now. OK, maybe not literally; I can actually get up and walk around with some small expenditure of energy. However, sitting in a chair, or even straight enough to hold a netbook on my lap, is still a no-no (at least until Tuesday, when I have my two-week follow-up with my doc), and creating long posts one finger at a time on my iKeyboard is not an option.

I shall submit a full account of my experience once I’m able to sit at my desktop long enough to complete a post.

Until then, back to my usual view.
