Hello My Friends,
My apologies for my prolonged and continuing absence. I wanted to touch base and come clean a bit about the past months. I've been grappling with a fairly serious depression that began months before surgery, but was briefly in remission with my ACDF adrenaline rush.
Well, the depression came back with a vengeance and making it to and from work is about my limit and at this point I am considering a brief sabbatical to get things under control. I have had depressive and hypo-manic issues for over 25 years (although you wouldn't know it) and pretty much know the routine, but this one just caught me off guard. I recognized my 100 hour work weeks that kept me off line as manic epsiodes, but chose to not ackowledge them and just took advantage of the rush. Me smart, although I did get a great deal accomplished.
I miss all of you and the day doesn't go by when you aren't in my thoughts. Joanne, Sandra, Teri, Debbie, Mel, Keith, Catherine w/a C, Sher, Winged...I can go on, but fear leaving someone out. Umm, too late.
I hope all of you are doing well as I will soon be too. My neck is fine, although my arm is still weak. With this I can live.
My love to all....Be Well,

Bruce
PS Teri - I'm digging for some good vibes to send you. Be strong my fine tethered friend.
