Keep It Wild

Our Northern Rockies region is a special, biologically diverse, wild and beautiful part of the world. Let's keep it wild and special, eh?

I'm taking a short time out from buzztail for some rest and recovery and to work on some other projects. I will be back here after the holidays. In the meantime, here's wishing you all a happy and safe holiday season, and the best in the upcoming new year.

'Til then.

I haven't been able to keep up on what's going on here for the past week. Hell, I haven't even been home to turn on this damn computer, and now that I am here I still don't feel like doing much.

Early last Sunday morning, a week ago today, I woke with severe abdominal pain. Serious pain. The doubled over and almost screaming kind. I was able to get some clothes on and through sheer necessity was able to drive myself to the emergency room. To keep this short, I was in emergency surgery within a couple of hours, and then spent the next six days flat on my back in a hospital room with a network of tubes and hoses and such carrying on my bodily functions for me.

I came home yesterday afternoon, and frankly I don't have much energy for any of this right now.

I'm going to spend the holiday season healing and mending and getting in shape to return to work, both here on the internet and at that other job that actually brings in the money to pay the bills. Doc says it'll be at least a month before I can resume the level of physical activity my job requires. Maybe longer -- I'm getting old enough that I don't bounce back from things as fast as I used to.

So, I'll be posting at my various haunts, though I don't know how much for a few weeks. I'll be gradually working myself back into my job -- part-time at first, and I'll see how all of this plays out. I can only do the best I can.

But enough about me. How was your week?

Happy Holidays.
