Leave of absence

It'll be a while before I write regularly again. My grandfather's had two heart attacks and we've no idea when he'll be out of the hospital. After angioplasty failed on Tuesday, the only option left is by-pass surgery, which will be risky since he's 83.

Too many details to write down. Too many.

Thank you, all. Surgery should be some time this week. The sooner it takes place, the sooner he can come home.

Hey Andre, good to hear from you. Will write you soon. Thanks for the well-wishes.

Hi D W, thanks very much for dropping a note of support. I'm headed to the hospital soon - the operation takes place this morning. Reading your comment really cheered me.
