This evening, in a desperate attempt to begin catching up on one of many activities which have been largely ignored during the run-up to the miniatures convention my local club planned for over a year and finally hosted on Saturday, Feb. 17th, I logged onto my Flickr account. Or rather, I tried to! This is what greeted me:
Flickr is having a massage.

My guardian angel took an unannounced vacation, shortly before Christmas 2006, and was AWOL until the 7th of this month! How do I know she hasn’t been around? Because she was apparently replaced by her Evil Twin! Because a widely diverse series of medically-related issues has made much of the past two months either painful, extremely anxious or both!
1- In early December, 2006, I finally made the difficult decision to proceed with reconstructive surgery on both feet. (It should have been done several years ago, but the time away from work and the surgical method involved have made me ‘drag my feet’.) My surgeon agreed that it was past time, and we discussed mid-February for the first procedure.
1A - Just before Christmas, a fairly deep and wide-spread infection took hold in my right heel. By mid-January, based on the extremely slow rate of healing, the doctor decided the reconstructive surgery isn’t possible.
