Hi, MacNN! I am back after a 2 year break. I really look forward to participating in the conversation again.
A few life updates:
* I got on Medicare Part A and B on March 1, 2010. It costs $110 a month and it automatically deducted from my SS income. I also signed up for a "Medi-Gap" plan from BCBS of MA that covers every deductible, co-pay and adds benefits. It costs $170 a month. I think it's interesting that my insurance supplemental plan costs more than the insurance.
* My spine is still leaking :/ tho I am scheduled for some pretty invasive neurosurgery in July that will hopefully be able to repair some of the larger holes.
* The wikipedia article on wrote on my spine condition achieved "Good Article" status. This means it went through heavy editing by some pretty talented editors. I've showed it to doctors and scientists and they have commented it's journal quality. Link: Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
* I am beginning to exercise a bit and trying to get into shape. The PT I am working with has arranged a lot of exercises and taken into account my condition. It's beginning to help.
That's all I can think for now. It's great to be back!!!

Whoa, I totally forget about it! The last time I saw that sig was 2 years ago. I'll remove it now. Thanks for letting me know!

Welcome back!
A little heads up would have been nice, then I could have arranged a party for you.

Welcome back! Not much has changed here so you should ease right back into the swing of things. 
Nice Wikipedia article. 
|

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Thanks! I worked really hard on it and it took over a year to get up to the standard that it currently is. One of the very interesting things was the process in which it underwent. The Good Article assessment and the Peer Review was really intense. It's all here: Talk:Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's purely optional for wiki articles, but it's something I really wanted to do.
