Just a brief note to express a heartfelt Thank You to everyone who responded to my post concerning the need to take a hiatus, be it via a comment left with that post or via a reply / DM on social media and / or in-world IM / messages passed through mutual SL friends. I’m sorry I could not respond to everyone in a more timely or direct manner, but I do want you all to know that your comments have meant and continue to mean a lot to me, both in terms of the love and encouragement offered, and in the way I’ve felt strengthened by them since getting home and being able to read them all ♥.
I’m happy to say the surgical work went really well – thanks entirely to the dedicated surgical and recovery team who are handling my case. Post-op care was equally superb, allowing my stay in hospital to be at the shorter end of the anticipated time-frame. There’s still a way to go for me over the next few weeks (including any adjuvant therapy which may be required), but I am today starting into my second week of Enhanced Recovery at home (my first full week back at home overall), and I’m hoping it will allow me to start spending a little time each day at my computer & maybe in-world.
Thank you again to everyone for your continued support and love – hope to see at least some of you in-world very soon!
