Progress is a Wonderful Thing

Well, a few weeks have passed and things are certainly not only different, but better. And it's a wonderful thing. Not only am I considerably stronger and nearly normally mobile (been driving for a few weeks....finally), but I'm also certainly thinking better. And that's a wonderful thing as well. Truly, for the first time since my "event", I'm finding myself back in "programmer head"; the search for the right abstraction that makes the greatest part of the problem just "go away" has begun keeping me up at night....well, just a little. It definitely reminds me of why it is that I often enjoy what I do for a living.

In a certain sense, I've reached the point where I have to keep that under control a little bit. While recovery continues unabated, marathon sessions of "implement one more thing, fix one more bug" are not yet in the cards. There's just not that much in reserve.

Sure feels good, though.

Before much longer -- and as time permits -- I suspect I'll be making it out to events. Many thanks to all who've expressed support...and any who've even thought about it...even for an instant. I look forward to meeting some of this bunch.
