Hello there I'm back. One major surgery, plus one emergency surgery two days later, an induced coma, major drug induced psychosis, and much pain and many scars later, I am still here and no one is more surprised than me. Thank you to all the people who enquired after my health and sorry if your queries went unanswered.
I am doing fine although it will be a slow process. The surgery was successful in getting rid of the cancer so now I just have to wait for the broken bones and the muscle and internal damage to heal. It was the most amazing thing, I had prayers and candles being lit in Scotland and Ireland, friends holding me in the light here and a brother in law who happened to be in France and took a side trip to Lourdes to intercede for me, how could I not survive lol.
So far I have not managed to write anything of worth. I am blaming it on the morphine that I have to be on for at least another three weeks, but I have a real fear that I have incurred some sort of residual brain damage. My left arm and hand are damaged and do not work properly but will supposedly improve with time, as will my brain I hope.

I can't wait for the horror novel, I'm already imagining the movie adaptation from what you've told me already.

Good to have you back Vi.

As always, any help I can offer is yours to command.

We'll organise a workshop group or something to help you get back on the writing track - the best way to recovery is, after all, a sharp mind and a sharper pen!

So glad to hear that you are still here. Have missed you in class.

Greg's idea of a workshop group sounds great.

We started back last week and have had one session with the scritpwriter Phillip Meyer. Too early to tell how good it will be.

I guess you may have been told by now but Cora also went off sick and will not be back this year. I'm finishing off my non fiction with Catherine on line, with a blog site call Theexaminedlife.

Any way keep in touch.

Still praying for your speedy recovery.

Don't know if you heard but Cora's husband died and the service was on Friday afternoon (July 27th 2007).

She says she will be back next term.
