Jaba, it is time to think of yourself for a while and take all the time you need. Do not be concerned about silly old 2.5 birthday squares. As much as we love out treats and birthday surprises, you and your recovery are far more important. Pop in when you want to or just lurk when you need a diversion. I will be praying for you, your family and most of all for all the medical folks who are working with you and your specific diagnosis and treatment. The peace of knowing someone else was in control made me much more confident. We will miss you, your comments and your work, but like I said earlier, this time is for you!
