Re: 64bit processor/32bit plotter/ArchiCAD
John & Carlos:
Thank you for thinking about me. My strength is going to take longer to
return than I wanted. I started chemo-therapy again last week for at least 9
weeks. I was hoping to go back to work full time October 1, 2007 but instead
I was able to work 4 days 6 hours each plus 2 hours driving time daily last
week. The doctor released me to work 30 hours per week last March and
currently noted that I should be able to work 20-30 hours a week. Working 24
hours after having chemo-therapy doesn't sound like much but it's 24 hours
more than I was capable the last time I had chemo-therapy. I graduated from
chemo-therapy once in December, 2006, I intend on graduating again and
hopefully won't develop any more problems other than getting old (er). Have
a great day.
