Change of Scenery

First of all, apologies for the drop-out in communication - and some random reference to 'Medtronic'.

Long-story-short:
I finished up working full-time at Evans Cycles last Saturday (29th July) and commenced working with a biomed company called Medtronic this Monday (31st July).
My role with Medtronic will be in technical sales - conceptually the same role as I would have had with Franklin Products in the US/Asia - only I will be driving between operating rooms in England rather than flying between airports in Asia. :)
I will be working as a Computer Aided Surgery Specialist (CASS) and will ultimately be consulting surgeons / nurses on how best in implement computer aided surgery into their ORs (operating rooms). As you'd imagine, there's a touch of tech knowledge to catch up on - and to that end, I am at the CAS HQ in Boulder, Colorado for a month (Aug 1st - 26th). Yep, that's right.
More news on Colorado later.
Jo and I have kept the blog intentionally quiet re: the Medtronic job as there were a few things we needed to work through before accepting it.
Finally thank you for your thoughts, encouragement and prayers for me over the past few months re: ongoing work for me. They have been a huge blessing for us both. As you'd imagine, the needs change now - not least of all being apart for a month. Thanks guys.
God bless you.
