An Update on Faylinn

Whoops. It seems I’ve let this place get a bit dusty, doesn’t it? I hope to change that in the coming weeks. In the meantime, for those that do not follow me on Facebook, here is an update on Faylinn. She went through surgery back in February. While she recuperated at home we awaited word on her biopsy results. Despite what I wrote in my last post, I should have purchased a lottery ticket on that day or submitted a story to Clarkesworld, because luck was with us. The tumor was benign. Her surgeon sounded just as relieved as we were. He kept saying, “I never get to say this.” Her recovery since then has not been easy. After all, they shaved her belly and split her open like a dead tauntaun. She has developed a small problem of incontinence, but that could just as well be due to her age more than the surgery. We are managing it with medication. She is pretty much back to her old, opinionated self. And for that I am beyond thankful.

But, still. Fuck cancer.
