A new obsession...
I am still (very slowly) recovering from this major lupus flare up - but the good news is that Ryan is pretty much completely recovered from his surgery! I am extremely proud of him because after a lifetime of smoking (he started at fourteen) and then vaping (back in 2016) he gave up vaping six weeks before the surgery - after reluctantly listening to advice from the registrar - and he hasn’t been
