   @assaf I just read this update on Labnotes! I had noticed the lack of updates and wondered what was up. So sorry to hear about your accident but I'm glad you have such a wonderful partner and great medical care. Best of luck as you continue to recover and I hope you bounce back 100%.

     Thank you to everyone who sent a nice note, either to me or to my wife. I’m still going to outpatient rehab every day. Labnotes will return soon.

     Where’s Assaf?

     The past three months have been quite the adventure. On May 4, I was headed home, walking back from my regular coffee shop, and was hit by a car going way too fast.

     Seriously hit. Broken bones, torn liver, spinal cord injury, the works. I ended up in ICU, sedated for two weeks, underwent 7 surgeries. They were not sure that I’d make it out alive, or fully recover, possibly be paralyzed.
