So I haven’t blogged here for about 2 months, (except for the previous posterous crosspost). I didn’t mean it to work out like that, it just did. Why?
As some of you may know, in late August I flew to New York on a work trip, which amongst other things included attending the Mashable Social Good Conference.
Anyway, it was a good trip but during the long-haul flight back I developed deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, not fun!
I didn’t manage to find the time to blog while I was traveling. I did manage to find the time to tweet fairly often though, it could be said. It was much easier to tweet from my iPhone on the run than to sit down and write blog posts. I was going to blog about the trip as soon as I got back, but when I found out I had developed DVT, my immediate plans changed somewhat.
I seem to have spent the last two months working, but also visiting doctors, getting regular blood tests, taking warfarin, not drinking much alcohol and generally trying to stay healthy. As some of you may also know, we (my partner May and I) are soon to have our second child, so we’ve also been busy making preparations for the new arrival whenever possible.
Funny how a potentially life threatening condition can make you reassess your life and what’s really important. I am planning to blog more regularly here again now though. It feels right to get back into it again, now that my health feels like it’s getting back on track.
