To those of you who remember me (I see a lot of new names in the posts). Well, I've been busy, shall we say? I haven't been here since sometime in March. There were four pages of unread posts! I couldn't manage it. I cleared them and will have to start from scratch. And why have I not been here? Oh, man! Here's a summary.
I was scheduled for a reconstruction revision on March 22 (I had breast cancer followed by a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction back in 2014). The procedure went perfectly with great results. Then on April 8, I tripped over something I should NEVER have left lying on the floor and was told so by two people, one of whom had also tripped on it previously, so I have no excuse!!... I hit the floor hard, broke my left shoulder (I am left-handed) and ripped out all the stitches on my left side. I've been in and out of the emergency room and had a few visits to the plastic surgeon. I am mending but it is slow. I can't play guitar. I've had to write, eat, and type with my right hand. Grueling! And the implant on the left side had to come out, so I am now lopsided.
I have to wear a sling for a minimum of two more weeks, but I've been able to start using my left hand the past few days. Eating, writing, and typing. Most of the time.
My wedding was great. Other than my having to wear a sling, that is.
I was going to write a song a week this year. That lasted 11 weeks. After my accident, I slept a lot. I have more energy now but haven't started writing again yet.
