When I was in the hospital for my aortic valve replacement, I had no internet for 2 weeks. I did have cell phone service, so I was able to provide friends with updates on my progress. There was also cable TV, so I could remind myself why I will never buy cable TV. After 2 weeks, when I got home, there were over 900 emails. I simply deleted everything that was more than a few days old and called it good.

Not exactly camping, and a very long way from fun, but partially unplugged.

Sometimes the DELETE button is your best friend. The idea of facing 900 unread emails is nothing if not daunting. I would suspect that's doubly true after your experience. If it's important enough, they'll get back to you, right?
