Just a brief update to inform everyone that I returned to work at TEPPCO/EPCO as an engineer and project manager in the oil and gas industry. I restarted last Wednesday (October 1st) at our region office in Corning, NY; it was nice to be back! With nearly 14 months since I was last in the office, as you can imagine, there are plenty of things to sort through, organize and get back in queue.
In other news, surgery to alleviate my abdominal ventral hernia was a complete success! The operation at the Albany Medical Center went very well and I was on the mend after a couple days. Dr. Kuehler did a great job and sowed me up well; I can even see a little of the abs I once had!
While in Albany, I also met Dr. Dirisio, who operated on my back last August. It was great to met him and shake his hand, as I was one tough customer; I crashed a couple things during his three operations! Anyway, Dr. Dirisio mentioned the incredible advancements they are making with spinal cord injuries and a recent grant he may be a part of researching. He thought practical solutions are (hopefully) only a couple years down the road to restore many leg functions necessary to stand and even walk. Certainly, exciting news!!!
That is all for now. Hopefully, towards the end of the month, I'll have more news on our new home (which is undergoing modifications) and my minivan!
Thanks for the support!
