slowlyunfolding I never know if LJ is down. I keep seeing updates on Twitter that it's under attack, again & again. So here I am. *waves madly* I've missed everyone!
Sorry for the extended radio silence. 2011 has been one lousy year. I haven't had the ability to articulate in words what has been going on. I've been madly doodling & painting in my art journal. Just this weekend I feel like I have a bit of a grip on things.
The mister had a car accident in February. His right kneecap was broken & required surgery. Months of recovery. Huge amounts of stress & strain, both emotionally & financially.
Now, it turns out he will require heart surgery to repair and/or replace his aortic valve. This issue isn't related to the car accident. He has known about his faulty valve for years, but neither one of us expected him to need surgery now. I always assumed it would be in his '50's. So, yay, more stress & strain. Neither one of us have quite recovered from the car accident stress yet. Just as I was starting to relax too, BAM. Hit with this news. Next week, the mister goes in for an angiogram.
Sigh. Some years are smooth sailing, some, not so much.
