I will be recovering again, and likely offline for quite a while.  I went under the knife to deal with a deviated septum ( a broken nose that affected my breathing ) and am now in recovery from the surgery.  I'm already pretty photosensitive and cutting open my nose didn't help, and it hurts to wear sunglasses, like I normally do at the computer.  The surgery is pronounced "Sept-Oh-Plaz-Ee" but I have only ever heard it said, so I don't know how to spell it.  The title is my best guess.

I'm expected to be in recovery for about a week, but I may be back online before then. 

Thanks for listening,
Syd Lash.
