I don't think I've posted here in a month or more.....   Anyway, 82 year old mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in early February, opted for a mastectomy, and is doing extremely well with virtually no chance of this mess coming back again.  Of course it was exhausting for both of us.
Fast forward to last week:  I became violently ill, got meds, saw doc, getting tests this week and seeing a surgeon because all signs point to a very bad gallbladder which will probably need to be removed.    *sigh*   Two surgeries in the fam within a few months of each other.   
In other news:  I went on a trip to Death Valley, got into the worst possible weather but had a good time anyway, went back to work teaching, also scoring assessment essays, subbing, and teaching workshops.  Oh, and selling lots of stuff on eBay.
That's the story for now.    Hope you folks are doing okay.   Just wanted to drop in and say hello, as I still am very much alive, though not entirely well.

Hey shortfiction,
good to see you! Thanks for stopping by. I'm sorry to hear about your and your mom's health scares. Good thing though that she's doing well now. I hope you'll be going through your gallbladder surgery just as well, or better yet, that there'll be some way around it!
Thanks again for keeping us informed. Please continue to do so, as you can.
Sending positive thoughts along your way! :)

Hi shortfiction!

Thanks for stopping by with the update.  I'm sorry to hear about all the health issues you and your Mom have been dealing with.  It's very encouraging news about your Mom's health and I'm sending along my best wishes regarding the gallbladder situation.

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum... but am so glad she is doing well now. And sorry to hear about your ill health. I dont know much about Gallbladders but I can imagine the pain!

Ebay rocks, I have to say I def buy more than I sell on it though which is not good for the funds!!

Looking forward to seeing some of your essay quotes soon!

Hello.

Best and positive thoughts for your mom and yep, gallbladder troubles are literally a pain, but if it has to come out, just consider it easy weight loss.  ;D Ask the surgeon to keep some gallstones for you - you make your own rocks!!
