COO News:

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be moving back into activity over the next few days.

Since returning from Iraq I have been very sick and have had several issues with massive chest pains. About 10 days ago I was admitted to a hospital in New York to have surgery that would release fluid from around my heart and lungs. The surgery required a piece of tissue to be removed from the sack that surrounds the heart. The DOCS removed 200cc of fluid from around my heart and 500cc from my left lung Over the past 9 days the doctors have ran a million tests on me to find out what is causing my health problems. The good news is that I do not have cancer or any other life threatening illnesses. The bad news is that no one knows what is wrong with me. Thus, my good friends at the Army are giving me 30 days sick time and I will be returning home. Over the next six months I will be healing and working my way back to normal (that means my TIE CORPS time will probably triple :p).

I look forward to seeing you all on mIRC soon!

Matt
