A Quick Update

As Natalie has reported, I've returned from the hospital. What was supposed to be outpatient surgery ended up as a very unpleasant two day stay. Fortunately, it looks like the worst is past (and I will spare everyone the unpleasant details -- suffice it to say that bladder and kidney issues can be rather messy and undignified).

I'm going to be staying mainly in bed until I feel better; however, there's only so much of that a body can take so I might be online now and again. If I do, I'll try to spare the time to keep everyone updated on my condition.
