Sunday Salon: Greetings from the Recovery Room

Posted on 06:00 by Guy
 The Sunday  Salon.com

 
Regular readers already know about this, but just in case you hadn't heard, I had shoulder surgery on Friday. It was an outpatient procedure and I'm at home, but my right arm will be in a sling for the next four to six weeks. While I am capable of typing left-handed if I have to, it's slow and uncomfortable going, so posting frequency around here will most likely drop off during the next month or so.

After the first few days at home, I hope to be awake and feeling well enough to spend a good amount of my time reading. I've got a nice-sized stack of physical books at hand, plus about a dozen e-books - and I still have Indie Lit Awards reading to do! Assuming that happens, most of the writing I do for the next little while will probably be book reviews.  In addition, I did manage to get some posts on non-bookish topics written up in advance, and I'll be scheduling them in the mix. (And when I'm not up to reading, I've got plenty of TV on DVD to distract me too!)

I'm also very appreciative that several folks heard my plea for guest posts and were willing to help! Kori, Teresa, Mike, and Kim are making return visits - they all contributed posts here during my vacation last summer - and Josie, Serena, Jeanne, and Melissa will be here for the first time.

I'll be around and keeping up as much as I can, so I do hope you'll keep reading!
