I am back after having another procedure performed at Massachusetts General Hospital over the past week. Thank you once again to Dr. Timothy Guiney, Dr. Peter Laursen, Dr. Michael Jaff, Dr. Robert Schainfeld and Dr. Alice Perlowski. I will be up and running very soon but for now simply hobbling around as I slowly progress in the healing process. Thank you to my family and friends for all of their kind thoughts and prayers, cards, flowers, telephone calls, e-mails, and Facebook messages. Actually, I took my laptop with me, so no one even knew I was away.
