Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the big hole in our uploads. Last weekend I wound up going to the emergency room for what turned out to be a suprise gallbladder yeet. I am so overwhelmed by the kindness folks have shown. I get all teary, and it isn't all because of the drugs I'm on.

I got home on Monday and immediately started feeling worse and worse until I had to go back to the emergency room, who sent me back downtown in case there was a problem with the surgery (there wasn't, it was flawless) and I wound up stuck in weird hospital limbo for a few days trying to figure out what was causing me excruciating pain. Not the kind you expect after this surgery, it was different. Please don't write to explain to me, I've already been through a lot with the hospital staff! To oversimplify a lot, I personally think the problem was the Oxcycodone, and I'm going to ask to have it flagged as a "please no" on my chart.

I'm now home and doing a lot better. I managed a shower today.

Anyway, I'm going to keep this short because I have no energy to get anything done at the moment. I think I should be able to get back to things by Wednesday though.

And now I'm going to go lie down again! Thanks everyone for your patience, I lost track of time and am only now coming up out of it. Phil is on the plane home from the show in Denver we were both supposed to be at.

See you soon, and thank you, everyone!
