Thank you all for your kind wishes! I’ll update as soon as I can — I’m not taking my laptop to the hospital but will be thinking of everyone. Thanks!
Just a few updates for those interested:\
As for me…a few weeks ago I noticed a smear of red in my underwear. Since I am about a dozen years past the point of this being expected, I immediately called my doctor. She scheduled a biopsy, the results indicated pre-cancerous cells in my uterine lining, and that’s why I’m having a hysterectomy tomorrow morning. I’m fine with this — it’s not like I was using my uterus for anything these days — and I’m sure the Double Felinoid will be thrilled out of their walnut-sized brains to have me home for the next several weeks as I recuperate.
Finally, and most important for this community, I’ll have the time during my convalescence to do some diaries. The first will be a Book Chat in early June for the best historical fiction of the twentieth century, which I will be rereading over the next weeks. So set the sails, mateys, and ahoy!
