Well it has been quite some time since we have done a podcast and I see it as my duty to inform you all why there has been such a delay with the podcasts these last four months. About four months ago I was diagnosed with a medical problem that has obstructed possibly every aspect of my life for the time I have had it. It is something where I want to come back and start the podcasts again, but with that being said there is no possible way I can do so until this problem is alleviated. Tomorrow (friday) I go into surgery at 10 am to remove two wounds, which if left alone, could lead to an infection and require even more surgery. I luckily caught the wounds early and everything should be fine. I will be put under general anesthesia while the ten minute surgery is done.

The doctors say it is a seven to ten day recovery time for this type of surgery and usually due to the amount of pain associated with the wounds I have there is usually relief by the second or third day. I can personally tell you that for three to four months my sleep has been affected as well as every other aspect. I am sorry that this affected my ability to do the podcast but I hope after I recover to be back with a new format for the podcast and hope you and the rest of our listeners will learn to forgive us for our absence. Believe me there is nothing more I want to do than return to the podcast as soon as possible. I cannot say when we will be back but I will say that it will be as soon as possible. We are hoping to return in two to three weeks but still have to see how the recovery goes before we can finally nail down a date.

Wish me luck.
