Hey everyone. I have not abandoned this story, I promise!


    I just got home from the hospital. I had the first of two planned surgeries. Everything went well, as far as I can tell at this early stage, but the pain is more than I expected. I''m on some pills for that which means that I don''t trust myself to write anything even if I could concentrate enough to do so.
