Take good care of yourself, Lucian! The most important thing is your health! The craziness in our country, alas, will still be here, and if you rest up, I know you’ll be able to bring all your wisdom and grace to your insights once again. Don’t worry!!

Lucien: First, take care of yourself. Listen to your docs. You are no longer the West Point cadet who weathered being a plebe. REST. We all love your posts, but we prefer to have more of them in the future. Allow yourself to recover, dude.

When your body tells you to lie down, obey!! We need your voice, so do please go slow, allow your body to get stronger at its own pace. We can wait!

Yes. Yes. This.

Not a doctor but a former social worker, now writer and a great admirer of your skill at storytelling.
