James had his surgery on July 20th. After one week, he was released from the hospital. Since then it has been a slow but relatively steady road of recovery, though there have been several days of two steps forward one step back. All in all he is making steady progress and the kidney from his brother is functioning well. I on the other hand have been on a steady decline it seems.
I think the best way to phrase it is weary. It isn't anything monstrous or catching, it is just a steady tiredness that leaves me feeling like I still have too much to do but no energy to accomplish it. I realized today that I've basically been holding my breath, metaphorically, for the last few months. Now I'm teaching myself to breath again. To take full breaths and do a bit of activity to get going again.
Getting back to this blog is part of that. I'm not sure how often I'll be here but I want to check in regularly. I'm also getting back to my books. I have a young critic with a red pen waiting for the final changes I am making so he can be a grammar hound. I'm excited to get his feedback so I need to get my changes finished so he can get started.
Till then, blessings.
