It’s good to feel (mostly) normal again. That was one heck of an ordeal… but 2 ER visits, 3 doctor’s visits, 3 prescriptions, and 2 weeks later I’m back on my feet. Unfortunately, I still don’t have all my energy back and can’t play any contact sports for another month and a half (for me any sport involving other people… or the ground, is a contact sport).
I’ve actually been working at home the past week, but I went into the office for the first time in nearly 3 weeks today. It’s funny how quickly things change… last week when I just started working again I found out that my technical lead (Sami Shalabi) was leaving IBM. Bummer. Major bummer. Sami is a great guy, amazing programmer, and was a blast to work with and learn from. I certainly wish the best for Sami and I can’t thank him enough for all the experience I gained working side by side with him for the past nine months.
Thanks to everyone that talked, called, IMed, sent me a card, or visited. I definitely appreciate it.
Here’s a picture of what I missed at the baseball game I was supposed to go to on my birthday. Thanks Cindy, sorry I had to miss it.
