I know, I've been a little too quiet on this blog. I've been busy with my latest project, CMS Report. It's a site I designed to talk about content management systems and other information systems. The site has really taken off with about 25 visitors reading my pages at one time. Sometimes as many as 150 people are visiting at one time. A lot of geeks out there! Isn't that great.
Also for those that know and don't know, I'm spending my time this month recovering from surgery. As most of you know, a year ago I started dealing with a problem where the primary nerve for my left arm was being squeezed in my neck near C6/C7 causing pain and weakness in my left arm. The procedure I had was a microdiscetomy and foraminotomy which basically means the neurosurgeon enlarged the window where the nerves for the arm leaves the spine. As intense as it sounds, I'm recovering rather well and needing a lot less pain medication than the doctors expected me to need. With the pain I was dealing with my arm...a cut in the back of my neck is a walk in the park.
Recovery time can range from two weeks to six week. My goal is to be back at work in two weeks though I will be starting my first week with half days. Meanwhile, my "recovery" has been spent so far by watching football, KU Basketball, and watching the wife in the freezing cold snow blowing the drive. The only real exercise the doctor wants me to do is walking...so I've been walking in the gym as Logan and Karen spend time in the swimming pool.
I've also been doing some computer stuff, but at the moment I can only stay put in front of the computer in one hour increments. Hard to believe my career in information technology takes so much back muscle...
