So the observant among you will have noted that I’ve been missing in combat for the last couple of months–I’ve written about it in occasional newsletters and on my social media, but not here. I was in hospital for a month for emergency gallbladder surgery with complications; and I’ve been home for a month convalescing. The doctor thinks it’ll probably be another couple of months before I’m back up to speed.
It’s all been very frustrating and upsetting for the whole family and I’m finding convalescence very hard–I’m never good at pacing myself.
I’ve been doing a bit of writing when I feel up to it and trying to avoid social media as much as possible because I seem to have been left with this terrible inability to manage anxiety; and what is social media these days other than a swirling pool of bad news?
I felt up to writing a brief blog post this morning though, and I’m hoping to get back on the horse with regular posts over the next couple of months. I’m finishing the second Theatr Fach contemporary short story and I have plans for another Celtic Myth for Halloween if I can get my act together. It’s just a case of one foot in front of the other!
Feel better soon! Your health comes first – even if I do love reading your new stories. 😊
Thanks so much! I have been feeling very grim and it’s almost worse to be convalescent because I need to stop myself from overdoing things!
