A brief health update

A brief health update. Some of you know I’ve been unwell the past couple of weeks.

Very unexpectedly, I had to have open heart surgery on Monday 10 July. Two valves were repaired successfully. I am now recovering well, but not all is yet resolved. I may get to go home soon, though that’s not yet certain. There will certainly be a long period of recovery after that. Thanks for all messages of support I’ve received here and elsewhere. I may not reply, but all are read and much appreciated.

Update 21 July: I’m happy to say I’ve been at home for just over a day and continuing the recovery here.

    Dear Stuart,

    I’m very concerned to learn this but it is good to hear you sounding positive.

    Please rest and recover as deeply as possible and don’t worry about emails.

    Lots of love,

    Dear Professor Elden,

    So sad to hear this unfortunate news 😦
    Your work on territory was fundamental for the theoretical framework of my undergraduate thesis. Your constant activity here on Progressive Geographies has kept me very much updated on critical thinking since I’ve taken some time away from academia.
    Hope you get well soon!
    Sending you warm hugs from Brazil,

    Gabriela

    Dear Professor Elden,

    Your work on Henri Lefebvre was super helpful when I was writing my doctoral dissertation. Thank you for this wonderful blog (in addition to all of your brilliant academic contributions). I hope you get well soon.

    Sending you all the best from Sweden,
    Claudia
