Authors who advertise a posting schedule and then don't follow it drive me up the wall. And now here I am doing it. I promised to adhere to a Saturday posting schedule and have missed two in a row, first last week because I was traveling out of town for a medical evaluation, and now this week because some manner of stomach bug hitched a ride home with me and I've spent the better part of the past 3+ days ... well ... being sick. I'll spare you details beyond that, except to say that I feel exponentially better today than I did on Friday.
The word from the doctors I saw last week were - relatively - good. I am not in any urgent need of back surgery, although I was taken to task for not being more diligent about sticking to the treatment plan I was previously given (read: physical therapy, which I've always hated doing).
In appreciation for your patience and as atonement for not sticking to my promise, this week be on the lookout for two chapters! Stay tuned.
