You did not read anything from me recently. Not on the newsgroups, not on my blog. If you communicate with me directly, even email and Skype was not being answered for a long time.There is a reason. A hardware related one. Sadly, it was my own hardware, i.e. my body, that was faulty.

On October 10th I drove home from work and a nerve that is responsible to keep your body in balance simply switched off. I was able to stop the car in time and notify emergency services. Still, it was all very scary and I am very happy to report that I am back to normal - at least almost.

The last 4 weeks were completely awful considering my health and the first two weeks after the infarct  of my nerve I felt dizzy after moving my head for an inch and walking was difficult. Reading, watching TV or doing anything that one normally does, was simply impossible. I spent most of the day drinking a lot of water and simply resting, listening to Audio Books.

As I said, I am almost back to normal as reading is still tough. I can hardly read more than a couple of pages in a book before it becomes very hard and I have to rest. My eyes were affected by the illness and I still have to see (no pun intended) how that will turn out.

Gladly, I will still be able to live my life as I want it to and thus will be able to participate in the Delphi and .NET community. Right after it hit me that was not so clear,  but the folks in the ER were amazing in recognizing what was wrong with me.

So, please be patient. I will soon have some useful content and this blog again. However, allow me some more time to recuperate. Chances that this happens again are high if you work to much right away.
