So due to unforeseen complications, my homecoming was delayed by a day or so. That also means my therapy is going to start a day later, but who’s counting? If you haven’t already read it, Dan Fost’s article in the New York Times outlines some of my vices. Believe me: my Mom has been giving me an earful. Your overwhelming response — thousands of emails, hundreds of voicemails and a bonsai — I cannot thank you enough for your wishes. Let me just say that your prayers are the reason I am going to be able to blog again. For next few months, my focus will be on rebuilding my body and mind and taking it slow. Hopefully you will come back and share in the process.
I also want to thank a service called GotVoice. It is sort of like Yahoo for voicemail — a nifty web-based voicemail management system. I had signed up for it before the holidays to “review” the service. It worked with my iPhone, my AT&T line and my softphone VoIP service. It pulled the voicemails from the various systems and put them in the order received. More importantly, it sent me a transcript of the voicemails in the email inbox. In less that 50 minutes I read your sentiments. Some of the transcriptions were not too good, but I got the feelings loud and clear.
Thank you all, and slowly, I will call you back.
Om – good to see you back here but really… do take some time off before returning to writing full time. Cleansing/rebuilding the mind comes first – the bloglines can wait.
OM – Best Wishes – your team continues to engage your fans while you get the much needed rest – don’t rush – Take it easy for a while. Cheers!
Hang in there, Om. We’re pulling for you.
Hi Om – thanks for keeping us updated. You definitely have a fighting spirit. Take care of yourself!
Glad you’re doing better buddy!
hey – get well soon – we still need to meet so you can teach me all of your secrets! 🙂
Om,
Time off is as important as rest when it comes to your health. Take more time off as your team has got your blog covered.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery,
Curtis
Om- we love you! Be good to your soul and your body will thank you!
Take a rest. Do not read blogs 🙂
I can only imagine what you must be going through right now. Rebuilding your body, spirit, and mind after such an ordeal isn’t an easy task. We’re all pulling for you, my friend.
As I blogged a while back, your experience is strengthening my resolve to get my own health in gear.
Very glad to have you back.
Now please focus less on Web2.0 and more on Fitness2.0 🙂
Om, nice to hear form you so soon but take care!
Glad you are getting better. Take care of your self man. No one else will.
Glad to hear you are home and resting, my friend – as I noted in previous messages, if you need ANYTHING, day or night – you call me.
That simple.
Jonathan
Om – All of us in the ‘hood are wondering what we can do for you — we are here for you — let us know and we’ll be at your doorstep!!
Hi Om, best wishes for a speedy recovery! Get well soon. Cheers!
Om, more wishes to you for a speedy and full recovery. 🙂
Glad to hear your recovery is coming along well, Om. Please take care of your health, and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Ash
Great to hear that you’re coming through this well and that your attitude is so positive. Here’s hoping you find some new, fun, healthy “vices” to replace those that you’re leaving back in 2007. Cheers!
Om, you “idiot” 🙂 don’t call ANYONE back. No one is expecting it, and no one will be offended. Rest up and do every minute of your therapy. We love you. And it has nothing to do with returned phone calls.
Om…v.e.r.y s.l.o.w.l.y…(if at all) 🙂
Get well soon, my friend. And please take it slow. We need you fully recovered by spring training.
So sorry to hear you were not well, but glad that you’ve got the help you need. When I read vices I thought for a moment you had a secret vice! Coffee, good food, and cigars! We’re all in trouble! Seriously, my prayers are with you and of course we’ll all understand that you will need some well earned time.
Thanks for the update, Om. We’ll be praying for your speedy recovery.
hi om, cheers:-)
Praying for your health Om.
three things to get you better: Nopal ( Mexican catus in a capsul)-has lowered my colesterol, Alaska salmon fish oil (200 mg)- will help unblock arteries, GOLF with no cart…ie walking 18 holes ( get a caddy to carry your clubs) will help relieve stress plus its fun. Get well fast and nameste amigo.
Welcome back Om! So great to hear your voice loud and clear. Take your time, though. All of us around you won’t let you come back too fast.
Best,
Jon
hey, dumbass, stay off the blog. get well first. we’ll all still be here when you get back on the saddle.
Om – take care of yourself. there will always be some tech thing happening, but you need to make sure you’ll be around to write about it.
I am glad to hear you’re doing okay, Om!
🙂
Om — Good to hear that you’re doing better! Take care.
If you’re trying to avoid stress, avoid news about the test series with the Aussies! 😉
Get well, stay well.
Good to see you back. Every one must have given lot’s of advise already, so no more from me.
Best wishes for speedy recovery.
