Shouldering a Burden

If you have noticed a lack of posts here, I will say that it was not for lack of effort. I must have started a blog 93 times before erasing it.

Also, I have this little matter of surgery tomorrow, and all of my time has been spent getting my affairs in order in case the very real possibility that I do not wake up.

Ha! I really had you going there. It’s an outpatient procedure, and while I will be doped up, I’ll be out of there in a few hours. Unfortnately, this procedure on my arm will seriously inhibit my ability to write — physicially, it’s going to be impossible for several days.

If I’m lucky, I won’t be able to write ever again.

There you have it. My first legitimate excuse for taking off the blog for a week.

I’ll think of you in my morphine dreams.

Yay Bears.

  • Maybe your sugery will inspire a new short story. Never say never. And I hear morphine can conjure up all sorts of interesting images if taken in the right dosage. Feel better soon.

  • Good luck with the procedure. As always your absence is missed.

    Yeah, yeah, you’re just using this to get out of blogging and get a little sympathy as well! Well, I for one ain’t buying it!
    What are you going to use next, that tired old “My wife just had a baby” excuse? Puh-leeeeeze.

  • Oh, yeah, that’s why I had such a long break in blogging, too–I was having surgery. Really.

    Now, with that out of the way, I do hope you’re doing well. Love your picture of Ditka, but we’re still in mourning in my household this week. I gave my students a quick daily quiz on Monday which included the extra credit question, “Who is the worst quarterback to ever play in a Super Bowl?” I believe that 100% of them got the right answer.

    Heal quickly!
