Personal: Surgery and Recovery

I'm preparing for my surgery scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2009. This "robotic radical prostatectomy" should cure me of prostate cancer and eliminate the need for any further treatment.

I'll be in the hospital that Tuesday and then going home the next day. If things go well, I'll be back on email and cell phone on Thursday (Friday at the latest). I'll be unable to drive for 2 weeks, but will be working to get back to a normal schedule as soon as it is reasonable. This means I'll be working from home "as tolerated" until around July 7th. From that point, I'll be on lifting restrictions for a few months, but I should be OK to work, other than that.

During that Tuesday and Wednesday, if you need the "please do this whenever you can get to it" kind of assistance, you can just email me or leave a voicemail and I'll get back to you as I can. If I can't deal with an issue from home, I'll be able to schedule a tech visit from my backup team, as circumstances dictate.

Don't worry about contacting me during the two weeks I'm recovering at home. If things go as planned, I should be pretty bored.

I would appreciate it if you would remember me in prayer on June 23!

Regards,
