ellenkushnerWell, this is. . . interesting. For many weeks, now, the plan has been for Delia to have foot surgery (for a complicated bunion) this Thursday (carefully planned so that she'll be merely limping around by Wiscon, and fully fit when we head down to Roanoke to teach at Hollins U. all summer - for some reason, the notion of hobbling around the leafy campus on crutches did not appeal to her).
But now we're waiting for test results on another part of her body entirely, and, depending on what they are, she'll either be fine, or have to have entirely different surgery, probably later this month, with a quite different recovery trajectory. (Please don't worry; either way, she'll be fine! I love modern medicine.)
Hoping for results on Monday. But for the next three days, I'll be living in a world with two very different branching futures.
Either way, I suspect I'll be doing most of the shopping.
