Short Blogging Hiatus
February 12, 2008 | 03 Safar 1429

I just wanted to inform all of you that I will be taking a short hiatus from the blog in order to go forth with a surgical procedure to fix the herniated disc and pinched nerve in my back this Friday. I have not been able to work for the better part of two weeks as well as previous spots before the new year. I just spent the better part of the weekend in the ER for pain treatment and decided that enough was enough. I most likely will not return to work before the procedure so you may still contact my by email. I greatly appreciate the kind words of support. As you may or may not know, I have been dealing with sciatica [the nerve pinched/trapped by the disc] since October 2007. It has simply become too painful to “work through” any longer. I hope to be out for only a short respit and then back to the task at hand. For those who have it, my office line has been forwarded to my cell so you my contact me at either my cell or my office number, which are listed below. I also have access to email on my phone [c’mon, I work in IT - whaddayaexpect?].  I do not know what room I’ll be in yet but I’ll follow up with that as soon as I know more. I hope to see all of you soon, and please keep me in your du’ahs/prayer lists.

    Hi,

    I’ve been through similar sciatic leg pain (left leg) for approximately 18 months. I’ve found a really good back blog here: http://www.mylifemytravel.com/wolff

    Check it out, and specifically for your back surgery this post might help with some things to do post operation: http://www.mylifemytravel.com/wolff/considering-back-surgery-discectomy/

    Best of luck.

    Cheers

    Thank you all of you - and I will of course make du’ah for all of you as well. I will update on where I’ll be in the hospital as well as my condition as time and info allow. Many thanks.
