Hi everyone. I’m finally back from a long, long day at the hospital. A routine trip to the doctor to get a sonogram (with a close friend) turned into emergency abdominal surgery. All is well, and my friend is recovering nicely, if a bit uncomfortably.

Thank you for all the kind words. I’m sorry for the confusion over whether it was me that was ill, but that was a byproduct of having someone else write an email to Steven dictated over the phone.

I probably won’t be online much on Saturday, either, because my friend is not likely to be discharged until late afternoon.

Once again, thank you for all the kind words. It’s nice to know how much support I have and it was nice to read after a pretty lousy day.
