Hi, folks? (Update approaching, one paragraph ahead.) First, though: I dearly hope that much holiday happiness has wrapped each of you in warm, loving, feathery wings (does that make sense? I'm thinking of angel wings... or wing-fic wings, whichever works for you :-)).
Okay, here's the update: The cancer is either much reduced or entirely gone; we won't know either way until surgery on my shoulder at some unspecified point in the future, but all is definitely better! although not yet healed. My life is still inordinately filled with millions of medical appointments and arrangements and things requiring So. Much. Time (and mental and physical energy, and juggling with the ongoing healing and regrowing nerve ouchies) that there's this weird cognitive dissonance thing happening. Because, you know getting better does not logically sync up for me with so much creeping tiredness. But I get that the healing my body's working on pretty enthusiastically these days does require a lot of energy, in addition to the energy suck of this year's chemo and radiation, so I just try to roll with it.
Slowly roll with it, that is. :-)
(Fun Fact: During the next three weeks I have fifteen medical appointments. Or possibly more.
This is not untypical of my current life.)
So. I'm completely submerged still about reading and writing (don't ask how long it's taken me to write even this post, that would embarrass my socks off). I want to write, but the mere thought of actually stringing words together for fic exhausts me. Reading is in a similar boat. (I haven't even visited Secret Santa in its new home, which is reprehensible and makes me very sad. I know I'll get back to it, but SADNESS. For now, until I can regrow at least a little energy.
Please know that my mostly-absence here and the stunning amount of good (fic! posts!) I've been missing out on isn't (even in the least bit) due to not caring, okay?
Also, I am (slowly - "T" stands for "Tardy") replying to Emails or PMs You (you know who you are, lovely ones!) Have Recently Sent Me; please don't think I've fallen off the log! It just seemed like this post was trying to turn up its twinkly toes on me and Never Happen, and it would be remiss of me not to wave farewell to 2018 without sharing my gratitude for ongoing healing and for each and every dear, dear one of you.
