The surgery was a success and the prognosis is excellent. I'm following the doctor's orders to the letter: taking it easy, staying ahead of the pain, making sure to keep active, and getting a short walk or two in every day.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me out—both at home and at work—and to all who sent their good wishes for a speedy recovery. Funny thing about having surgery on a broken arm: seems like nothing inspires folks to write like knowing that I can't write back easily!

For the time being, I'm on limited duties. I'm still learning how to use the talk-to-text software, so it's going to take a while before I can get caught up. Please bear with me! In the meantime, I'll keep posting updates...and musings...here!
