Hello, loyal readers! My shoulder has been repaired. All went smoothly, though the operation was substantially longer than expected, because what do you know, there were three tendons torn, not just one as the MRI had suggested. Pain fairly bad but I think each day’s gonna be less bad than the last. And I did succeed in getting a full first draft of Don’t Be Too Sure to my editor before going under the knife!

This will be short as I’m typing left hand only. Anybody got any favorite dictation software?

This needs some Robyn Hitchock: “I believe in surgery — that’s a fact.”
