The first Wednesday of every month is the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Posts go up the 1st Wednesday of every month. Check it out here and join if you need support with your writing. Don't forget to stop by and say hi to the co-hosts: Sarah - The Faux Fountain Pen Jacqui Murray, Chemist Ken, Victoria Marie Lees, Natalie Aguirre, and JQ Rose!  Hello, I am back from surgery. Recovery is going well and my pain has been very mild. The actual surgery itself went well, but not to plan. My doctor's exact words were "Horrible" and "1000 times worse than I expected." The problem was my bladder, bowels, and left ovary were cemented to my uterus. She ended up removing the ovary with the uterus because if something tore I could have bled to death. The risk wasn't worth it. (My mom fully agreed!) It took over 3 hours and she called another surgeon in to help her. I ended up admitted for two nights.
I don't do things half-assed! How has your 2021 been going? Kinder than mine I hope. I'm pretty sure 2021 is trying to make 2020 hold its beer. We might need a restart of the year...maybe the last few years just to be safe.

Well holy crap. Scary -- and nice of the doctor to be so blunt to put you right at ease. :) However, I'm happy to hear you came through it and are recovering. 3/1/2021 02:06:23 pm
Holy cow! Glad you are still with us. Sorry it was complicated but glad it's over now. 3/1/2021 08:30:20 pm
Good to hear you got through the surgery OK! Things gluing themselves together like that isn’t good, as you know. 3/3/2021 07:09:11 am
Yikes! Definitely not the words you want to hear from your doctor. Glad to hear you're on the mend. Hang in there! 3/3/2021 08:20:47 am
Ay ay ay! Glad to hear you're on the mend. Here's hoping 2021 quits stomping on you--and all of us! Happy writing in March. 3/3/2021 08:45:30 am
Good gravy! That sounds horrible. So glad you're through that and back to health. 3/3/2021 08:56:25 am
Sorry to hear of your health issues! I've had seven surgeries, and they're never any fun. I hope you continue healing well. 3/3/2021 09:38:11 am
Geez Louise! It sounds a bit like my cousin Michelle. She's had most of her internals removed, and now will make jokes about having nothing inside her. I sincerely hope that the surgery results in a better quality of life for you. You deserve a break. 3/3/2021 09:40:05 am
I hope you're well on the road to recovery and that other related things are working out for you. <3 3/3/2021 09:41:20 am
Wow, that sounds so exhausting, and cringeworthy! I can't imagine how you could even think about writing for a long time. Hope you recover soon. 3/3/2021 11:21:20 am
Congrats on making it through such a rough surgery--and on the new book!

Ouch! I'm getting squeamish just reading your post. I am so happy to hear that you are on the mend. You seem just too young for that surgery... 3/3/2021 01:02:59 pm
Glad your recovery is going well! And congrats on the upcoming book! You know what, I'm gonna sign up for a review copy. I need to get more involved in things XD

I'm glad the surgery went well, and you're on the mend. Take care. :-) 3/3/2021 01:28:54 pm
I'm so glad you're on the mend! And, the review will be ready soon. :) 3/3/2021 02:42:52 pm
Damn. You give meaning to "don't let the bastards get you down." So glad you're on the mend. 3/3/2021 05:53:50 pm
Yikes, that surgery sounds intense. I'm glad you made it and are now recovering. Gentle hugs. 3/3/2021 09:48:57 pm
So glad you made it through! 2021 is supposed to be our relief from 2020, but you don’t shake off a year like that in a month or two! 3/5/2021 10:16:25 am
That was some op! I knew you were having something drastic done, but not that drastic. Take it easy and follow the convalescence guidance. 3/6/2021 06:34:07 am
Wow. You have been through a lot. So sorry to hear about your surgery. Hope you're getting lots of rest. Sending healing thoughts. 3/7/2021 06:51:58 pm
Wow, you do go all out. They'll be using your surgery at teaching seminars. Hope you're feeling better soon. Even when it goes well, that type of surgery takes a while for recovery. 3/7/2021 06:55:28 pm
Sorry your surgery was such a nightmare! 3/8/2021 12:33:45 am
I'm glad you're feeling okay now, but that definitely sounds awful! Good that they got the troublesome bits out, which will hopefully leave you in a much better situation. 3/10/2021 12:58:11 pm
Wow... So sorry to read about your ordeal. I am glad that you made it through surgery and are healing. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF and try not to overdo things. 3/20/2021 12:35:37 am
