Ebert Provides Update on Condition
On the 40th anniversary of his being named film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert, who was felled two years ago by an operation for cancer and subsequent complications, has written a column for the newspaper providing an update on his condition. In it he says that he is continuing rehabilitation therapy in Chicago "along with an overhaul of my general health at the Pritikin Center in Florida." His voice, he disclosed, was affected by a tracheostomy and is now "on hold until my upcoming completion surgery." Ebert notes that he is "feeling better every day" and plans to increase his writing duties gradually. "I still love writing about the movies," he concludes. "Forty years is not enough."
