Some News and General Yakkity Yak

I crowed about my recent sale on Twitter and Facebook, but didn't bother with my own blog.  Oopsy!  Carnal Passions recently bought Book II of my Desert Princes of Jikkar series, THE SCARAB PRINCE!  It will be releasing sometime in October of this year!

I Love Being an Author

I'm sitting here, pondering my career as an author, and I must say, I adore it.  Most people don't get to say that.  Most people have jobs that they don't absolutely love.  Most people consider their job a "grind".  Those few people who do find jobs that they're good at, that they love, are blessed indeed.

And sure, being an author isn't even my #1 job.  I'm a wife and mommy first, a homemaker, who takes care of my family.  In my house, I wear many hats.  Errand runner, bill payer, maid...

90% Pain Free at Almost Two Weeks Out

Well, folks, my wrist is doing MUCH better.  Got my stitches out today.  My scars are still kinda scabby, but here's a looksee.

scars

Looks like I've been impaled by a roasting fork.  Or maybe bitten by a vamp.  Heh, I like that one better.

Overall, my wrist is doing great, about 90% better than before.  It's still not up to snuff, due to tenderness and some bruising still, but that's all after effects from the surgery itself.  My range of motion isn't as good as my right wrist, and it gets very...

My Surgery Consensus

It's been a few days since my surgery on July 16th.  I'm still pretty tender.  I can't quite bend my wrist all the way forward and back, but I can pronate and supinate it (flip my hand palm up and palm down).  Although that's ouchie as well.  My stitches look pretty gnarly.  Have a gander:

stitches

I get them out next week.  Right now, my entire hand has a big ol' bruise on the back of it that extends down my fingers.  It's still swollen, but it's getting better.

So here's what happened.  The first two ...

I Survived My Surgery

Well, I finally had my surgery yesterday.  Here I am, typing one-handed.  It seemed to go just fine, other than starting late.  I was scheduled for 3pm, but I didn't go into the OR until 5:30pm.  Surgery was two hours long, because when I was wheeled to recovery, the clock said 7:30pm.  Then I needed to sit in a hospital room for another three hours to get over the effects of anesthesia.  UGH

Didn't get home until 11:30pm.  Not the best day ever.

Today, I'm pretty much in Deep Hurting.  ...
