I got released from the hospital on Sunday but until now was either too tired or too busy catching up with my mail and work to post. Anyhow, you know it's been serious when the doctor who operated on you (who is also a professor on the university) says "That wasn't for beginners..." - I don't know if I should feel proud or scared.

The good thing is: I can finally get some sleep again... the last three days in the hospital only yielded about four hours of sleep. By the time I got home again, I was so tired that I couldn't sleep. Strange feeling: being too tired to sleep. Not something I recommend.
