Glad to hear it - just take it easy until they track it down, at least...

Well my sister-in-law is one of only two female scottish consultant neurosurgeons in the World, so if you can
get to Edinburgh I can get you a deal!  :-)

Indeed - no noticeable slow-down whatsoever...

Yes indeed, and I know the feeling - I could count "reading and replying to PIClist" as a full-time job.
Shame the salary is so poor  :-)

I spent two and a half weeks in hospital 18 months ago (over Christmas and New Year - no fun *at all*!) and
the major problem was being offline (not the medical problem, that was cellulitis :-).  I took my laptop with
me and managed to persuade one ward-sister to let me connect it to their fax-machine's phone line (always a
good thing to look out for) and do mail-grabs at night when there were no admin staff about.  But then I moved
wards and lost the facility... it's like being in prison (I should imagine) and I don't recommend it!

Anyway, get well soon and keep us up to date on your progress, please?
