Roger Ebert hopes to be fully recovered in time for the Academy Awards and the Cannes Film Festival.
In a letter published Thursday in the Sun-Times, the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic says he’s looking forward to getting back to work full time early next year.
“One thing I’ve discovered is that I love my job more than I thought I did, and I love my wife even more!” he wrote.
Ebert had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. He also had emergency surgery July 1 after a blood vessel burst.
The 64-year-old Ebert, who’s at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, thanked fans and colleagues for their support.
