Online Publisher “Bounces” Back From Catastrophic Fall

January 17, 2026 by Leo

Today’s Not All News is Bad (NANIB) is different. It’s not a news story plucked from the headlines.

Instead, coming back from a hiatus, today’s news is completely personal. Two days before Thanksgiving, I took a very hard fall that required emergency surgery (cervical fusion), a week’s stay in the hospital, and in-home recovery ever since.

The good news is that recovery has exceeded my expectations, and I’m back. Smile

Normal NANIBs resume tomorrow, but I couldn’t help but share my own story as the first one on my return.

    Not such a long hiatus, considering the circumstances.

    Glad to have NANIB back.

    And hey: watch your step, OK?

    Leo, Keep healing and do all of your exercises. I to have had cervical and lumbar fusions. I am not as mobile as I once was, but far more than the doctors thought. I missed NANIB and pass it on to many of my friends. Your publication is one of the bright lights in today’s world.
    Cheers, MJG Longmont, CO
