I was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and had to resort to reading newspapers and magazines to get my news. I was reading the LeMonde International magazine and lo and behold theres this article in French by you and two others excerpted from the Financial Times. I didn't try reading it since I can barely understand you in English ;)

Glad to see the use of the past tense regarding your hospitalization! Be well and enjoy being home.

Have a good recovery LEP!
Spring is (almost) around the corner; we could have a ET Paris lunch one of these days.

A couple of weeks!? That's more than just an oil change.

Hope you come out of that ordeal supercharged!

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

It was for tests; five days in, ten days home and then another five days in. I went in for very high blood pressure which is now under control with medication but the real problem they discovered is that I'm functioning with only half a kidney. That's enough to live if it doesn't deteriorate futher, so that's the current goal, to stabilize that kidney.
