Update on Work
Hi friends,
Feeling good. Started another round of chemotherapy today . Booked
for a MRI this Thursday.
I"ve had it in the back of my mind since the beginning that I would
be returning to work. However, the problems with short term memory
are significant enough that returning to work is not a
feasibility. These changes, which are due to radiation, are permanent. These
memory problems,although they don't significantly affect daily activities,
certainly preclude a return to doing surgery. This realization is a tough pill
for me to swallow. I think that I enjoyed every day and every aspect of
work. The common denominator with this enjoyment was people. This
included office staff,hospital staff, and particularly my patients. I consider
myself very lucky to have had the opportunity. However,each good ride has
to end sometime..
Love,
Barry

Hopefully, in the future you will be back to work. Thinking about you every day and keep up your spirits as you have done so all along. Lots of time for golf for you both this summer and time with the grandkids.

I guess you are wondering about the name on my post. I post on my nephews blog. He is running in the Boston Marathon for the Diabetes runners, and it just signs me in that way.

So sorry to hear you will not be returning to work. It truly is a great loss for everyone who has ever worked with you, and of course for your patients. Try to remember, that when one door closes, another opens. Thinking of you,
