Returning from the Half-Dead
Hey, all!
How’s everybody doing? Well? Good-ish? I know it’s Monday, which is universally the most hated day of the week, but I thought I’d check in. I just woke up because I’m on Day 5 of recovery from surgery, but I’m feeling up to sitting at my desk and working, so I thought I’d stop in and check on the blog, which has been super neglected of late.

Just like it took two months to get a diagnosis on what was hurting me. Luckily, once we had a diagnosis, things moved quickly: a week later, I went under the knife. It was an outpatient surgery that involved sedatives and anesthesia, and I have huge gaps in my memory. I don’t even remember being wheeled out of my waiting room or saying bye to my parents before the surgery, or what I talked about to the nurses on the way to the operating room.1 The first two days weren’t exactly fun, but I prefer the incision pain to the gallstone pain by about a thousand percent. Now it’s Day 5, I’m off the ice pack and even better I’m drinking my first Dr Pepper since March 5.
It’s such a sweet, sweet nectar of life, you guys. I have missed this.


Oh, right, speaking of new books—did you know that I’m writing a fourth SUPERHEROES ANONYMOUS book and that it’ll be available either late this year or early next year? That’s right! More Gail! AND you can already pre-order it. I’m so excited to return to Gail and Guy’s lives and ruin the completely. Everybody’s coming back in this book! More Angélica, more Kiki, more Jeremy, more villains, more evil masterminds, more…superhero history? Whaaaat? Gail’s terrible at school, but we’ll see how she does as the newest student of the first superhero (spoiler: probably not well). So make sure to preorder your copy of GAIL 4: THE GAILENING3 on your favorite e-store!
Speaking of which, I’d better get to work, eh? How’s tricks, everybody? Catch me up in the comments! I’ve got another week off work and would love to talk!
Stay sexy!

1Given that the first thing the nurse asked me when I was shaking off the effects of anesthesia was to spell my penname and tell her about my books, I DO have an idea about what I might have talked about.
2 Susan’s the witty one. Lucy might be witty, too, actually, come to think of it.
3 Title pending. It’s hard to follow up a title like HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD because that one’s…a little grandiose.
Thank you for becoming a zombie just to mention my book release!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth it, I'd say. ;)
DeleteHi, I really enjoy your stories. Please keep them coming. 😺
ReplyDeleteAlso, I had gallbladder surgery as well. You know how they say most feel fine within two weeks? Yes, that was not me. It took about a month. Oh course it took them years to diagnose the gb so I shouldn't have been surprised they were wrong about recovery as well. I went through a lot of you are over reacting, it's an ulcer, just take tums, etc. Well I do still have stomache issues but like you am so relieved to be feeling better and without the gb pain part of the stomache issues. Hope you continue on to feeling fine. 😺
ReplyDeleteHappy second part of the year.
ReplyDeleteHope you are recovering steadily and still able to write.
