[Leica] UP DATE & CLEARED TO RETURN TO ACTION !!!! :-)

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (tedgrant at shaw.ca)]

Hi Guys and gals,
Well as of 9.30 this a.m. 12 February I'm cleared to return to action! :-) 
Hold on now, I know that's disappointing to a couple and one in 
particular.... "BUT SCREW THEM, I AM BACK!" :-)

To the rest of the crew I basically have been given a clean slate to return 
and offer advice when asked, and encouragement always! :-) Sure nice to 
stand tall, breath deep and begin walking the mile or two a day again!! :-)

Yep it seems after several brain scans from whatever angles and locations 
took place during the past several weeks or so. They actually found some 
semblance of brain fibers remaining that might function for a bit longer, at 
least to my main goal of the round figure of surviving to a fine old fashion 
100! I never feared I'd leave before then in any event, given the absolutely 
incredibale about the world to this point of life now the 82nd year life, 27 
May 2011!! :-)

Like what the hell is the point of going before then? When you've, not 
worked, but lived the most incredible life with such great passion in what 
you've done more than one can imagine as a photojournalist from one end of 
the world from birth to death and back in many forms!!

Actually one of my friend doctor's admitted he doubted for a bit they'd ever 
find any brain cells at all, let alone enough to show in a brain scan. He 
did wink of course! :-) Damn it's great to have the veil lifted and the 
world before me once again. Hey com'on I've gone through this dead, nearly 
dead a few times and one should know each time you are told... "Hey yer 
still good to go fer abit!" How wonderful it can be to pick-up a camera and 
get at it again! :-)

So hang onto yer seats it could be one hell of a ride to the next one! :-)

Love all you folks,
cheers,
Dr. ted! :-)
