Roger Ebert Returns

From Ebert’s page at suntimes.com:

I have been very sick, am get­ting bet­ter and this is how it looks. I still have my brain and my typ­ing fingers.

Although months in bed after the bleed­ing episodes caused a lack of strength and coor­di­na­tion, the Reha­bil­i­ta­tion Insti­tute of Chicago restored my abil­ity to walk on my own, climb stairs, etc.

I no longer use a walker much and the wheel­chair is more for occa­sional speed and com­fort than need. Just today we went for a long stroll in Lin­coln Park.

We spend too much time hid­ing ill­ness. There is an assump­tion that I must always look the same. I hope to look bet­ter than I look now. But I’m not going to miss my festival.

Well done, Roger. Wel­come back.
