The short answer is that I had a major surgery--a large tumor and 20% of my pancreas were removed. We also relocated to the DC Metro area. And while I have recovered from the actual surgical procedure...the mystery of why it happened and why I still have pain is yet to be uncovered.

I will start blogging again, when, I don't know for sure, but consider this my toe in the water.
