Hello readers! I’ve had such a great time reading mystery fiction, participating in reading challenges, writing reviews, and chatting with you in the comments.
I’ll be taking a hiatus from the blog for a little while. This means there won’t be any new posts for a few weeks over the Christmas holidays and possibly for a longer stretch of a month to two months. However, I’ll be back with more posts as soon as I can.
I wish the reason for the break was something enthralling, like a trip worldwide. Unfortunately, it’s because I’ll be having a total foot reconstruction for my right foot.
I have talked about before how I have cerebral palsy, and it mainly affects my feet and legs, over the past year, I’ve noticed a considerable decline in my ability to do the things I love like walking, running, and swimming. By the end of the summer, I was dragging my weak foot and leg behind meand after sixteen weeks of extensive physical therapy, the surgery is happening.
So tomorrow, I’ll go in for my total foot reconstruction, and thankfully, it’s my second one (I had the left one done in 2020), so I better know what to expect. One of the worst aspects of this surgery recovery is that I’m basically confined to a bed for long periods of time, and to lay the way I am supposed to, I can’t read books. So audiobooks and TV are going to be my constant companions.
I’d love to hear your suggestions for audiobooks, television shows, and movies to keep me entertained during my recovery. The total recovery time is about one year- that’s a long time- and while I’ll be back blogging long before then, I probably won’t be back to work for a year. So, I’m looking forward to your longest, most convoluted, and ridiculous suggestions.
Thank you for reading this update. Your support means a lot to me. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a great start to 2025.
See you soon.
