Good News, Bad News (It's not Funny, but it's Humerus).

You may have noticed that I haven't been around much lately. The major reason for my prolonged absences is basically that I suck.

I actually had intended to remedy this around the beginning of May, while Dom (that's my husband) and I were in Montreal. We went to Montreal because Dom had won a prestigious award from his old high school. He was really looking forward to getting it--more even than pretty much any other award he's ever won.

Owie.

So naturally, five minutes before he was set to go to the reception, he fell and broke his upper right arm. (I'm not even kidding; he was about to put on his tie.) A Proximal Humerus Fracture means a break just under the shoulder joint. Not to put too fine a point on it, it fucking sucks. What sucks even harder is that my husband is disabled, and without his right arm his mobility's been reduced to just about zero. He's slowly getting better, but he needs a lot more help than normal. It's made it hard to think about anything else, like updating my live journal.

But! He is getting better. His arm is slowly healing and I'm not quite as stressed to the gills, which means I can think about other stuff--like updating my live journal. And I actually have cool news with which to update.

My novella Aiden's Angel is coming out this Wednesday (and still available for pre-order). You can read the cover blurb here.

And...that's it, thank you. :)

Oh man, that's awful! I'm so sorry you're in so much pain and are facing having to live like that for months longer. It's terrific that you have some range of motion back, though. May it continue with no need for surgery ever.

I also appreciate hearing about your horse. I hope he's doing well with his eye.

I wanted to let you know that I finally remembered to review Walk a Mile on Amazon.com. :) I really enjoyed it. I loved the SGA shout-outs too, but I didn't want to mention those in case it made people associate you too much with your fanfic name.

The horse seems to be doing very well, thank you. Perhaps we should stop shooting horses and shoot me instead. ;-) At the moment, he's the more functional of the two of us!

I only just now realized this post was subtitled "It's not funny, but it's humerus"; I just cracked up when I saw that!

Thank you so much for leaving a review for Walk a Mile--that was really kind of you and very nicely said. I appreciate it! Yeah, I couldn't help myself with the SGA shout-outs--a bit silly on my part, but they made me smile :-)

Your SG shout-outs made me smile, too. So thanks. :)

I'm very glad your horse is doing better! It's sad you couldn't save the eye, but he must be so happy to be out of pain. I just wish you were too.

I'm glad you found the subtitle funny, though. It's about the only part of the whole thing that was. ;)
