Ongoing recovery and looking for a job

Recovery continues.   Last week I started getting some exercise, swimming at the local city pool and riding my bike -- rode out to Ocean Beach on Friday (12.1 m, 448 ft elevation gain) -- and just about didn't make it back (but I did).  Feels good to be getting out and getting stronger.

Still having trouble with eating -- it's a real chore.  My swallowing muscles were weakened by the radiation, and that makes everything difficult to swallow.  It seems to be improving, but it's slow.  The other problem is that my saliva glands are severely compromised, so my mouth is extremely dry.  They say that my saliva glands will recover over the next 2 years or so, so that should get better.

I've started looking for a new job -- my old company folded May 1st, so we've been running on savings, COBRA and state disability.  It's daunting to be on the market again.  My first interview is today, at Facebook.  I woudn't have considered them, but my old manager (from vmware and hillview) is there, and I'd love to work for him again.  We'll see what happens.  From what I've seen so far, it looks like a really great place to work -- they seem to do everything they can to keep developers happy, and that sounds nice for a change :)
